Upstate I Do Wedding | Wyche Pavilion

Last September (yes I’ve been a little slow in posting these… and I don’t know why because y’all this reception design was AMAZING!!!) Upstate I Do reached out to me to see if I was available oen Saturday to come in and photograph strictly for their portfolio at a wedding they were doing.  Y’all I was soo honored!! As a wedding photographer I may get 30 minutes if I’m lucky with reception details and no guests.. usually it’s like 2 minutes 🙂 …. so to get to go in and photograph strictly reception details for 2 hours was SOOOOO fun!!  The details & florals were incredible and I still smile when I think about this opportunity I had to shoot for Upstate I do!!!  Ali & Bri, thank y’all so much for asking me to do this for y’all!!!
