150 Year Birthday Celebration

When Mr. & Mrs. Aucoin asked if I would photograph their combined 150 Year Birthday Celebration, I was absolutely DELIGHTED!!!

I had been recommended to them by their good friend Elizabeth Gardner, who’s son’s wedding I photographed last year in Florence. Bryant and Mary Beth’s wedding was so much fun. So I knew the Aucoin’s birthday bash would be as well!  🙂

The celebration took place at The Lake House at Bulow. I remember photographing the property for the original owners, Bill & Coy, before they sold it to the James Island County Park system. It’s a gorgeous property with a huge log cabin, nice lawn, and wrap-around decks, overlooking a pristine lake.  They’ve also built a picturesque bridge that goes over to an island covered in tall pine trees.  I’ve photographed weddings held on that island, surrounded by those majestic trees.

With close friends and family coming from far and wide, the festivities began on a gorgeous spring afternoon. The air was filled with chatter and laughter as people reconnected, played games, enjoyed good food and drinks, and celebrated this amazing couple. As day turned into night, the party continued with music and dancing, toasts and roasts, and so much more!

It was an absolute pleasure being a part of this special celebration. CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. & Mrs. Aucoin!!!

Ford’s 1-Year Portraits

This weekend I got to re-connect with one of my absolute favorite wedding couples from 5 years ago! Erin & Jay are perfect proof that eHarmony WORKS!!! 😉
 
Their adorable little boy just turned 1-year old. So to celebrate, I met up with Erin & Jay, as well as their whole family that came along to help celebrate. We met at picturesque White Point Garden to photograph some fun portraits of young Ford. After all, we want to capture these fleeting moments before he looses that childhood charm!!!
 
CONGRATULATIONS Erin & Jay…he’s a keeper!
