I’m pretty sure Abby & Drew couldn’t have picked a prettier day in May to get married at Lion’s Gate Manor!! There was a “cool” front that was coming through the upstate and on a day that is usually sweltering, it was downright amazing weather wise!!! Abby & Drew were surrounded by their family & friends their entire day and y’all the love and support these two have around them is amazing. I learned so much about these two all day and I can’t tell begin to tell you what an honor it was to not only photograph their wedding day but at the end of the day call these two friends.

Abby & Drew’s day had so many favorite moments and I’m pretty sure my two favorites were their first look. Drew’s face when he turned around to see Abby was priceless. Their embraces and time together before the ceremony was super sweet!! Then my second favorite moment was during the ceremony when the pastor asked Drew if he’d take Abby to be his wife and then he paused and looked back for confirmation from his groomsmen and then they gave him the thumbs up… it was hilarious.. but then Abby took a note from Drew and did the same thing when it was her turn and it had everyone rolling!! There’s a photo below of when Abby asked her bridesmaids what they thought!!! Laughter on wedding days is a favorite and I am so excited to share so many of those moments with y’all today!! Here are a “few” of my favorite images from Abby & Drew’s Lion’s Gate Manor Wedding!!

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 […]
