I realized early in my photography career that I’m not “just a photographer” :)!!  One thing I become is someone who has to try and figure out what the weather is going to do…. and then work around whatever it does.  Out of everything for a wedding day… the weather can be the most stressful!!  […]

Sarah & Greer were married at the beginning of November at Bleckley Inn, in Anderson. But a few months prior to their wedding I met Sarah & her mom at Bleckley Inn to take her bridal portraits and y’all I was squealing the entire time!!!
