Aimee and Brian

Aimee and Brian will be getting married next Saturday at Brian's family farm in Rocky Ford. It's such a beautiful location with ponds, an old barn, grape orchard, and pecan trees. I hear they are making their own wine for the wedding. I'm so excited to be apart of Aimee and Brian's celebration!

Check back later this week for images of their custom guest book. These are really very cool and unique way to use your enaggement session pictures. Each book is press printed with a linen or leather cover. Pages are custom designed in a magazine layout leaving space for your guests to sign around the layouts.

Here's some of our favorite moments from the engagement session a few weeks back:

Stephanie and Julian

I met Stephanie and Julian at the Isle of Hope this past week to photograph some enegagement pictures for them. What a beautiful day with bright blue skies! This is my favorite time of year on the Coast.

Stephanie and Julian are getting married in a few weeks -- we can't wait to share in their celebration and photograph some really wonderful moments. I already know that it's going to be one of our favorite weddings of the year!

Julian grew up on the Isle of Hope which made the Bluff such a perfect location. We borrowed a family friend's backyard and dock for these images --













Fun with sunflare














Love this one from the floating dock




















At the Bluff -- love, love, LOVE how at ease and relaxed these two are with the camera. Beautiful!

Michelle -- A Very Special Rock Star Senior!

I was so excited to be able to photograph Michelle this past weekend. Michelle contacted me a few months ago about her senior pictures. As she described to me, she didn't want the typical "smile next to your high school jersey" type photographs. Well, I think we accomplished some really cool stuff that falls in every category but that one! Ha! =)

Michelle and her wonderful parents drove down from Blairsville, Georgia (10 miles from the Tennessee border) for the session. I feel so blessed to have clients that love my work so much that they will make that kind of commute! Michelle will graduate in the spring and is an aspiring photographer. I know we will keep in touch and that she will have great things ahead of her.
Here are a few of my favorites -- from Ft. Pulaski

YPS Turns 1!

On Friday the 13th, we celebrated the 1 Year Anniversary of Young Professionals of Savannah! In addition, we welcomed more new members and crossed the 100 member milestone.

Christi, Katy and the rest of the organizers did an awesome job collecting giveaways from local businesses. Everybody wanted these hot red shoes from Monkee's:














Lauren LaPointe was also there! If you haven't checked her live show or current CD out, you should definately do so. She has a beautiful, smooth voice that you won't soon forget. You can see her out at the Sentient Bean on October 19th. Click over to her website and show her music some love www.laurenlapointe.com/

















Jamie and Jarrod Tie the Knot Charleston Style!

I recieved a call awhile back from Jamie from Kentucky. She and her then fiancee were planning their wedding and decided to turn their family vacation into a destination wedding! It was alot of fun spending the day with them from the early morning engagement session, through the day as they prepared to get married, and then through the evening as they made it official!

Jamie is a strikingly beautiful woman with the most amazing green eyes.














Their family spent the week at the Isle of Palm just northeast of Charleston. The morning was beautiful with cool breezy temperature -- we really couldn't have asked for a better day! I love the beaches in SC and it makes me miss the time I use to spend there. Can you even believe how blue the sky is here!































Here are some of the fabulous images we made in downtown Charleston:










Congrats to Brittany and Dusty!

On October 7th we travelled back to Brooklet and Statesboro to celebrate the wedding of Brittany and Dusty. Brittany had beautiful terra cotta colored roses in her bouquet. So beautiful -- just like the bride.

Congrats Heather and Joey!

Heather and Joey are such a great couple! We love you two and both of your families. We want all of our couples to have this much fun and celebrate the beginning of a new family like you two did.

We had a fun opportunity to take Heather out a few weeks early in her bridal gown and do a City Session at the Fountain in Forsyth and then at dusk at River Street with the bridge lit up.























Here are some moments from their beautiful day that are our favorites -- I know you will love them too:
