I have been waiting to post these since we took them!!! Since they got hitched today – now I can share them! We went to Pine Lakes Country Club (one of my favorite spots in the whole world!) and it couldn’t have been a more perfect day for it! Mary Catherine was STUNNING in her dress she got from Little White Dress. She looked just as stunning on her wedding day today!

Ashley and Todd – The Beeches, Rome, NY

I would have flown 1/2 way across the world for this couple, luckily I only had to fly to Rome New York for a day. I first met Ashley & Todd last summer when they came down and we did their engagement pictures. One of my other clients, Jordyn, had recommended me to them and we hit it off immediately. They said they hadn’t found a photographer yet but that the wedding was going to be in Rome, NY. Luckily everything worked out and the night after Megan & Michael’s wedding I hopped on a plane and flew up to photograph their wedding. Unfortunately it rained the whole time I was there but that didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits – especially Ashley & Todd The wedding was otherwise perfect, and I even think the rain added it’s own twist on their day. I was treated like family of which I can not thank them enough having had no sleep and being so far from home. I would do it all over again though because it really was a fun time.

Megan and Michael – Grande Dunes Ocean Club, Myrtle Beach, SC

I love everything about this couple! They were fun, funny, and just a joy to work with. Megan and Michael both work in the photography industry so it was fun talking with people who understood me when I said the words “f stop” Their wedding day was beyond perfect! Megan was one of the most calm and easy going brides I have ever seen (she was painting her nails like 5 min before she put her dress on! ). Both of them were so happy and totally ready to be married to each other. Myrtle Beach DJ’s Joe Durivage kept the party going on into the night, of which you can see from the pix, everyone had a great time!

Sarah and Daxon’s Engagement – Downtown Charleston, SC

So for those that know me, know I LOVE Charleston South Carolina! It’s such a beautiful city with so much history. My husband and I met there and we used to walk around downtown Charleston for hours just exploring the city. This is also where Sally & Dax met and where they will be married on December 8th this year. Sally and Dax are such a fun couple! Dax was a total comedian which just made Sally laugh the whole time which made for some great fun moments captured on camera. I think December will be so much fun!!!

Angela and Michael’s Engagement – Marsh Walk Murrells Inlet and Huntington Beach State Park

I was introduced to Angela & Michael by their wedding planner and family friend Amy Wingard of Palm & Crescent Events. I have to admit I was nervous going into the meeting because Amy had told me about them and how Angela’s Mom was one of Amy’s good friends and Amy wanted to make sure that the wedding was perfect for them. Perfect is a lot to live up to As soon as we met all the nervousness went away. Angela and Michael are such a great couple and we hit it off immediately!

I had been looking forward to this engagement session since I booked the wedding. We went to the Marsh Walk in Murrells Inlet and then to Huntington Beach State Park to make sure we hit the beach! They even brought their 2 children, their dogs As you can tell they are a very photogenic couple and we had such a great time. I can’t wait for the wedding in October!!!

Adriane’s Bridal Session – Kaminski House Georgetown, SC

I have been waiting to post these since we took them! Adriane wanted something classic but something that reflected her fun & upbeat personality when it came to her bridal portraits. I knew that the Kaminski House would be perfect! It’s a beautiful old museum in Georgetown, SC that is classic old south and boy did we have fun that day! Adriane’s dress was stunning on her and I think she enjoyed being a model for the day

Heather and Bryan – April 7th 2012 – Peanut Warehouse Conway, SC

What a fantastic wedding and an even more fantastic couple. Heather & Bryan have been so much fun to work with and I have to admit I’m a little sad that the wedding is over. They were wed on April 7th at the Conway Riverwalk & the reception was at the Peanut Warehouse in Conway. The wedding had all these super little special details (that they did themselves!!) that totally reflected this couples fun loving style. It was unique and fun in every way – topped off with PERFECT weather this day couldn’t have been any better.

Thanks so much for allowing me to capture these I wish you guys the very best!

Austin and Shaun – March 31st 2012 – Reserve Harbor Yacht Club Litchfield SC

carolinastudios — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:43:03 +0000

I really enjoyed this wedding even though I only had about a month to get to know Austin & Shaun. Austin was so busy with school and life that she only decided to use me as her wedding photographer a month before the wedding. The great thing is through email and phone calls we totally hit it off and this is one of the sweetest couples I have ever had the pleasure of working with. It was supposed to rain all day the day of the wedding and I think I used up all of my luck on that day because we didn’t get a drop – although we could have done without the bugs! I’m pretty sure there were a few bugs big enough to carry off a few guests if they would have had time!

Thanks to The Reserve Harbor Yacht Club in Litchfield for the always fabulous venue, Greenskeeper Florist for the stunning floral, Strand Strings for the beautiful music, Pawleys Island Bakery for the yummy desert table and cake, & Debby Idol with Events on the Half Shell for helping pull everything together for Shaun & Austin!

Thank you again Shaun & Austin for allowing me to capture these memories for you! I wish you guys the very best!!!

The Petty Boys!
