happy birthday Melissa!!!

So yeah she may kill me for writing about her… but I just had to do it!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELISSA!!!

I so wish that I could be there to celebrate your 26th birthday with you (can you believe we’re both 26 now?).  I do hope you have an absolutely amazing day because you deserve it 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

I just want to tell you that you mean the world to me and I am so incredibly thankful that God put us in each others lives 18 years ago.  The past 18 years have been amazing and watching our friendship grow/strengthen/blossom has been fun.  I have loved growing up with you & sharing life with you!!!  It’s funny because we’ve lived away from each other the majority of our friendship, but through multiple moves, going to different colleges, making lots of new friends, me moving half way across the country… you’ve always stood beside me, listened to me, hugged me, and then jumped right back in where we left off, even when we’ve been uber busy.  You are the best friend anyone could ask for, and somehow I got lucky enough to have you as mine.  You are an amazing woman & I feel so blessed and honored to have you in my life.

I love you Melissa, and I CAN’T WAIT to hang out again (we need to figure out when we can do that.. fyi 😉 ).  Enjoy today!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

<3 Kendra

Photography is in my blood and seeking truth is in my soul. Which is a deep way of saying, I’ve loved to take photos for a really long time, y’all. I’d love to share my story with you then listen to yours.

Rachel & Ben were married on an incredible fall weekend in the upstate of South Carolina.  The weekend started out with family and friends celebrating these two at the Greenville Country Club for the rehearsal dinner.  The included hugs, the most beautiful toasts, and Ben grabbing his guitar and playing/singing for guests.  That evening set […]

For the last few years I’ve photographed Ballet Spartanburg’s performances of the Nutcracker.  It is an honor to capture these incredible students and professional dancers that share the stage for this family favorite in the heart of Spartanburg, SC.  Most years I capture the dress rehearsals, this past year due to a wedding in Charleston […]

After 18 years and hundreds & hundreds of weddings, I’ve had a front-row seat to some of the most thoughtful, personal, and beautifully designed wedding days across the Southeast. And when couples ask me what I remember most about a wedding, the answer is almost always the details. I think about the invitation suite printed […]
