Welcome to my blog So this is a place I will probably rant and rave, wear my heart on my sleeve, gush on my family, and most importantly share my art...the photo stories of wonderful couples and people I cross paths with.   Don't be afraid to bookmark it, or leave a comment.  I love hearing from everyone and anyone.  Check back frequently...I will try to keep you updated.

So Jennifer and Dominique are getting married TOMORROW!!!  I can't believe it!  I am so excited to see them married.  I have had the pleasure of knowing them for about a year and can't wait to see the happy beginning to this perfect duo. 
We had a lot of fun during this session.  I actually shot Jen's bsesh the next day, so she must have been super tired from working it 2 days straight!
 
I hope you guys can get some sleep 2nite!!!

Brenda really wanted some photos, before Shane left for Afghanistan.  He is in the Army and Brenda is a part time soldier.  Brenda and Shane have an awesome love story and here is what he said about it:
"
I actually started courting Brenda in July 08 some 8 months before she finally said yes. It's funny now after we had been dating for awhile we looked back on the history of my text messages and I had pretty much asked her out every 48 hours for 8 months before I wore her down. The funny part of that is that I had always lived by the three times rule to that point. But I didn't give up."  
Persistence paid off.  I have a soft spot in my heart for stories like this, because ours is one very similar.  My husband worked very hard to win my affection...I was a little jaded...and well...the rest is history. 

Brenda and Shane are the couple that make you wonder if you are "in love enough".  I mean honestly, from the way that they look at each other, to the way that he touches her and her reactions...it is that sort of chemistry that makes people jealous!
Well Shane has left, and Brenda no doubt, is waiting with bated breath.  These for her are like the tin types from years ago. 
...a little romance goes a long way!

Me encanta como quedaron. Se ven tan enamorados y queda claro que se disfrutaron la sesión de fotos por sus sonrisas (carcajadas). Los quiero mucho y Dios permita que sigan proyectando esa química que se tienen.

I just saw a post on Stacy's blog that I had to share with you!!
I enjoy working with Stacy....to say the least!
She is a lighting genious and a genuine and fantastic friend!
She shot the birth of my first born...my recent maternity pictures...
and just about all our family pictures in between.
Stacy's passion is contagious and I can't wait to team up with her
again for Hilary's wedding in just a few week!!!
If you want to book Stacy as another shooter for your wedding, that is an
option we can talk about and something you will be happy you did, I promise!

I will be giving a free lecture at the Charleston Center for Photography
on November 9th at 7pm.  I welcome you to come down to Charleston,
share an hour or so listening to me babble about how much I love brides and
sharing the happiest day of their lives with them! Afterward, go get some shrimp and grits!!

Just an update...I am in Illinois for my Grandpa Cecil's funeral and will return tomorrow- Friday.
I am gearing up for a wedding in Charleston and can be reached by email or phone.
Wish us luck driving home tomorrow, prayers would be great too!
