We had a very fun and energetic Portrait Session with Mia in Downtown Charleston, South Carolina.

Mia was very happy during this day.

It was a great day to be out and about.

We spent most of the time chasing after squirrels, birds, dogs and anything that moves. Here she meets a very unique dog.

Here is her running.

… and running!

… and running some more!

Our most recent wedding was a wedding by the beach in Hilton Head Island. This was a bit of a last-minute booking, but since the wedding was on a Tuesday, we were available.

Nicole flew in all the way from Wisconsin to be with Joshua.  They are planning another wedding next year for her family in Wisconsin.

This was taken right before the wedding ceremony. They were fixing her veil, and they were joking with her and she laughed, so I took the shot.

This is a photo of the groom fixing his military uniform.

This is one of my favorite photos from the wedding. For me, this is the definition of a radiant bride.

Joshua laid out flowers on the sand to serve as a kind of altar for them to stand in the middle of.

It was a very small and intimate wedding by the beach.

Here is the bride and groom looking out into the sea.

Here is the bride and groom sharing a kiss.

The happy groom after the wedding.

St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands is one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean. I’m so lucky I was able to do a Destination Wedding here in St. Thomas for Imelda.

Here are some photos from the Spencer Family Portrait Session in Fripp Island Resort, South Carolina.

Here are more photos from the wedding reception in Statesville, North Carolina.

Here are some kids on the dance floor having some fun. This photo cracks me up. I don’t know exactly what it is that they are doing but it sure looks fun.

The food wasn’t just delicious, it was gorgeous!

They had the most beautiful decorations.

Here is the wedding cake.

Kathy loved her photos. Here is what she said about them:

“Wow, we love our photos. You guys did an amazing job. Everything was exactly the way I wanted it. Everyone keeps asking me where I found you guys, so hopefully you get some more business here in Statesville.

Once again, thank you so much. We were so happy when we saw the photos for the 1st time. ”
