The Gaydosz Family on Kiawah Island

Earlier this week I had a BLAST photographing this crazy gang of fun-loving folks on Kiawah Island. With 21 total family members, 8 of whom were under 3, and a huge storm barrelling down on us, I got my workout in! 🙂 We all had a ton of laughs and came away with some wonderful family portraits for them to remember this special adventure. Can’t wait to do it again next year when all of them will be able to stand on two legs…HA!

The Blacks at Wild Dunes on Isle of Palms

A couple months ago, Brenda wrote and said “I looked at your website and your pictures are beautiful! We were really wanting to get beach pictures of the family.” I love it when people are so sweet and kind!

So Brenda and her family came down from Greer this past week for vacation. It was fun to finally meet everyone. We had a GREAT time and created some beautiful images together…especially of their little super-model, Ana!!! 🙂

Roxann & Michael on Sullivan’s Island

“…I want beautiful beach pictures. I viewed your work and was just taken back at how beautiful and creative they are…”

These were Roxann’s words when she first contacted us from upstate New York about photographing her beautiful destination wedding on the beach in front of the Sand Dunes Club on Sullivan’s Island. How could I say anything to such a sweet comment except “I’d love to be there for you guys!!!”

Roxann & Michael tied the knot last weekend. The forecast was “iffy” at best. But we bravely moved forward and were rewarded with some incredibly dramatic skies and gorgeous light to work with! They were so much fun, as were their families and friends who came from so far to help them celebrate.  Their reception was held at the gorgeous Sheraton Charleston Airport Hotel.

CONGRATULATIONS Roxann & Michael! May God Bless your new journey together…

The Anderson Family at Boone Hall Plantation

It’s been such an honor to be a part of the Anderson Family momories for probably about a decade now!!! 🙂 Here are the latest of Ashley & Zach…it’s AMAZING how much they’ve grown!

The Crocketts and the Lindseys on Isle of Palms

Good friends vacationing together on Isle of Palms, the Crocketts and the Lindseys decided to join forces and brave the mayhem of a “Chris & Cami Beach Portrait Session” together! 🙂 We had a BALL!!! Can you tell?

Ladies Only on Folly Beach

It’s been TEN YEARS since these five sisters and their gorgeous 81 year old mother, Ruth, have been together. So the ladies all hatched a plan to take a vacation together on Folly Beach last week! No husbands, no kids, just quality time with each other and their mother.

Since my family is also spread out around the country, it was very special for me to be a part of capturing the memories for these beautiful ladies. We all had a BALL together!!!

Eric’s Proposal to Amanda at Boone Hall Plantation

Eric is a hopeless romantic at heart! I KNOW…because it takes one to know one. 🙂 He and I have been scheming for weeks about the coolest place for him to ask Amanda to be his wife. Being from out of town, I told him about lots of cool places in Charleston. But we both agreed it would be really cool to do under the famous Avenue of Oaks at Boone Hall Plantation!!!

The morning of the big day arrived. I was nervous, Eric was nervous, and Amanda didn’t have a clue!!! 😉 I arrived early and set up my Nikkor 200-400VR lens on a D300, making it an effective 300-600 f4! Using Google Maps, Eric & I had arranged a spot for him to do his magic. So I know where they would be and hid behind the main gate for the perfect view of the momentous event.

Everything went PERFECT! Afterwards Eric told Amanda he’d had the whole thing photographed. Yes, he had managed to pull off several sneaky secrets on her! After a few good laughs, we spend the morning photographing their Engagement Session.

What a beautiful couple and a heart-warming way for me to start my day. CONGRATULATIONS Eric & Amanda!!!
