Kaitlin & Steven’s Wedding at Founder’s Hall

What an absolute honor it was to photograph Kaitlin & Steven’s touching ceremony and beautiful wedding at Founder’s Hall in Charles Towne Landing!!!

This day was particularly special because I also photographed the weddings of Steven’s two sisters.  Which means I’ve spent a lot of time with Steven, his parents, and his family over the years…and I love them all to pieces.  But throughout the process of preparing for this special day, I have TRULY enjoyed getting to know Steven’s beautiful bride, Kaitlin!  The three of us had so much fun at their engagement session.  And I got to see Kaitlin’s “adventurous” side during her amazing bridal session.  She is such a delightful human inside and out, with a kind and giving soul, an infectious laugh, and a smile that lights up the room and lifts the hearts of eveyone around her!

Please enjoy these moments from the story of their wedding day.  And help me say a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Kaitlin & Steven.  We wish you all the best as you begin your new journey together!!!

Michael’s Secret Proposal at the Barnett Family Christmas Party

It’s been so much fun planning and covertly strategizing with Michael over the last few weeks!

Last night I had the pleasure of photographing the Barnett Family Christmas Party. This fantastic event was held at the gorgeous Governor Thomas Bennett House. But the highlight of the evening was when Michael came up to me and gave me “the nod”.

Knowing exactly what that meant, I snuck out into the courtyard and hid behind a big crape myrtle tree. As soon as I was hidden, Michael secretly brought his beautiful girlfriend, Anne Louise, into the courtyard. While Anne Louise was distracted by his sister (all part of the elaborate scheme), Michael dropped to bended knee and asked Anne Louise to be his bride! 🙂

Of course the whole balcony of on-lookers broke out in applause! MUCH excitement arose upon their return upstairs. And the holiday festivities climbed to a whole new level as everyone celebrated this wonderful profession of love and commitment between these two!

CONGRATULATIONS to Michael and Anne Louise, and to the entire Barnett & Cotterill families! This is a HAPPY HOLIDAY indeed!!!

Geer’s 1-Year Portrait

It’s hard to believe Louisa & Joe have a 1-year old baby boy. It seems like just yesterday I was photographing their beautiful wedding!!! 🙂

To celebrate Geer’s 1st year on planet earth, we all met at Folly Beach for a fun portrait session. It was so cool to see what a “little man” this youg fellow has become!

Louisa & Joe had also brought a secret 1-Year Birthday Cake. I love shooting Cake-Smashings…and Mr. Geer sure smashed this one good!!! 🙂

CONGRATULATIONS Louisa & Joe! Does this mean it’s time to start planning round two???
