You guys have been asking for it…so here is a WEDDING PLANNING update!!! And it’s my favorite one yet. After a few months of stressful wedding decisions and having to change our venue…I feel like there’s been a major shift in the planning process for me. It’s gone from feeling like an overwhelming task to […]
This may be one of the most SPECIAL wedding blog posts I have ever done. Ryan is Hayden’s older brother, which means this wedding day was between my soon-to-be brother and sister-in-law!!! Their wedding celebration at Eden Try Winery in Fredericksburg was a long awaited celebration. Ryan and Sophia actually got married two years ago […]
I’m taking you behind-the-scenes today for another REAL senior session!! These are my FAVORITE YouTube videos that we create.

Except, the hurricane ended up slamming Charleston the day BEFORE the wedding (which was a huge blessing!)…until the wedding venue didn’t have power almost the entire day. Whew!! I decided to vlog the entire […]
Well, we kicked off fall wedding season with a bang…because we kicked it off with Briana and Kyle’s wedding right after the HURRICANE! If you were watching the news at all last week, then you saw that Charleston got unexpectedly hit with Hurricane Ian as a Category 1. And, the storm made landfall the day […]
The busy fall season is kicking in…and an engagement session in downtown Savannah feels like the perfect way to kick things off! MK and Chad are such a special couple.
