Rachel & Ben’s Wedding Weekend | Upstate, South Carolina

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 the tone for the next day!!

The entire wedding day took place at Ben’s grandparents property located outside of Greenville, South Carolina.  Both Rachel & Ben spent the morning on site with their wedding party getting ready.  The ceremony took place in Ben’s grandmothers garden and it was incredible.  Ben & Rachel said their vows in front of the most beautiful ceremony arch.  After getting married everyone made their way down to the tented cocktail hour and reception where they enjoyed a delicious dinner and spent the evening dancing as these two were celebrated so well. 

This October weekend was one that I will never forget.  From the beautiful design and florals to the love, laughter and joy that was woven throughout the entire wedding, it was an honor to capture Rachel & Ben’s wedding weekend.

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.

There’s a reason people plan entire weekends around being in Highlands in October. The weather cools down, the leaves start changing, and suddenly a drive you’ve made a dozen times takes twice as long because everyone in the car wants to stop and look at the view. I’ve photographed quite a few Highlands, North Carolina […]

I photographed a wedding at a private estate two years ago where hair and makeup ran behind. We went from having an hour and a half for all of the portraits to having thirty minutes, and that thirty minutes still had to cover the bride and groom, the wedding party, and both families. While we […]
