Meet Kimberly and Julian.  This past Saturday I had the privlege of photographing their amazing wedding at the Cliffs Chapel on Glassy Mountain.  This is one of my favorite chapels to photograph because the views are spectacular!  The weather was quite cold, but that didn't keep them and their awesome wedding party from scaling the rock for some amazing pictures!  A HUGE thank you to all of y'all for being so willing to do what I asked of you!  As you will see, the result was well worth the effort!

Kimberly planned this entire wedding from Atlanta with the help of Christine Faust, an awesome wedding planner, here in the Upstate.  She is fabulous, so check her out if you need a planner!   Their reception was held at the new ultra cool new venue, Zen. This was such a different location.  Very modern and lots of room to decorate it exactly as you want it.  (And only located a block from my new studio on South Main St.)  Kimberly chose everything for the reception and every detail was perfect.  Justin and his awesome team from Justin's Steakhouse catered the event and the food was delicious!  

Kimberly looked beautiful in her gown and I loved watching Julian's expression as he saw her for the first time.  That is always one of my favorite moments from each wedding.  She had 2 wardrobe changes that evening, which were gorgeous as well.  

Kimberly and Julian, thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your wedding day!  You and your families were both so gracious to us!  Congratulations!  

Now, on to some amazing photos!

Meet our sweet friends and awesome neighbors, Anna and Andrew!  We have lived next door to these two for a little over 5 years! And have loved every second of it!  It's so nice to have great neighbors who you can call at a moment's notice to watch your kids or borrow milk from!  We are so blessed to have you as neighbors and friends.  Love all of you!  :)

Meet Carter and Emily.  Kyle and I teach Carter in Sunday School at church and she asked me to photograph she and Emily as a present for Emily's birthday.  I, of course, agreed and asked them to meet me at my favorite field.  The results were amazing, as you can see.  But with 2 pretty girls and a field, I couldn't go wrong.  :)  

Carter and Emily have been friends since Kindergarten!  Pretty amazing to me seeing how I went to 12 schools!  Carter will be headed to Appalachian State after graduation and Emily will be going to the University of South Carolina.  And even though they won't be together every day, I know they will stay close.   This kind of friendship can sustain anything. 

Love to you both!  And Happy Birthday, Emily! 

Enjoy!

Meet Justin.  One of my new friends.  He wanted some updated headshots so we met at the studio for these cool shots.  I think they are amazing, don't you!?!?

Thanks for asking me to photograph you!  

Some faves!

The Floyd's wanted some updated pictures for Christmas, so we met down at the studio as well.  Miss Ellison was her precious self and smiled for me every time I asked!  Maddie helped me and she and Ellison had a blast playing in between shots!  

Thank you for using me again!  I think you will love the new shots we got!  

Enjoy!

They are such a Gap commercial, don't you think??!?!

Sweet Ellison!  Love her gorgeous eyes and that dazzling smile!

And the power couple!  They are so striking!  My fave!
