Melissa and I have ALWAYS had little mini photo sessions over the years… so while I was there we let Ryan take a few photos of us (I think he did a pretty good job for never using my camera before) and then I snapped a few more of Melissa and Ryan as well.  Ryan, thanks for taking the photos :).

Melissa, thank you again for hanging out with me the entire weekend I was in NC… I know you probably got tired of the sessions but it meant a lot to have you there and I LOVED being able to spend time with you.  I miss you dearly, you are my best friend and are so near and dear to me and I treasure the time we get to spend with each other.  Thanks for putting up with me over the years!!  I love you and am so thankful for you!!!

Here’s a few photos we captured over the weekend…

Greenville, you’ve been a beautiful backdrop—but lately, I’ve fallen hard for something else: private estate weddings. If you’re dreaming of tying the knot somewhere that’s more your world than a checklist, a family home‑turned‑wedding‑day‑stage is where the real magic happens. Why private estates feel so right Authentic comfort from beginning to end It’s your space. […]
