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!!!

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 […]

03

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 […]
