Happy Birthday Gary!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!  I love that your birthday falls on Thanksgiving again this year and I get to tell you not only how much I love you but how thankful I am for you as well.  I hope today is a special day for you!!  This is the 14th birthday I’ve been able to celebrate with you and just thinking about that makes me smile.  I love that when I was 14 years old I met you and eventually 😉 fell in love with you.  I love that I’ve been able to experience life with you at different stages (from high school, college, till now our mid and now our late 20’s), I have loved watching you grow into the man you are today and I am so thankful for you, who you are, and what you stand for.  You are kind, generous, loving, helpful, funny, irritating 🙂 at times, you are slow at everything you do (but over the last 14 years I’ve realized that you just like for things to be done precise and correctly… but I think you should sometimes speed it up a tad 😉 ), you love with your whole heart, you are smart, a go getter, an amazing husband and dad… you are so many things and I am thankful for each and every one of them… but I think more than anything, I am thankful that you are a man of God.  Thank you for trusting Him and thank you for turning to Him in everything you do and for leading our family the way you do!!  I love you so much and on this day of Thanksgiving I can that I am very very thankful for you!!!

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.

I met up with Sarah & Lee in downtown Spartanburg for their engagement session and it was the dreamiest evening. We walked around downtown talking about all the things from how they met, what they love to do and even a little wedding planning talk. These two are some of the easiest humans to be […]

Let me set the scene: Live oaks dripping with Spanish moss, waterfront backdrops that look like a Nicholas Sparks novel (but with less drama), and architecture that makes you want to whisper just out of respect. South Carolina is not messing around when it comes to wedding venues. Whether you’re planning an all-out wedding weekend […]

Kelsey & Tate were married overlooking Lake Norman at The Peninsula Club. The day was one of those days that you couldn’t beat weather wise. There was a cloud in the sky and it was just right with the temperature. Kelsey got ready with her ladies at her parents house where even her sweet pup […]
