Erin & Patrick - Sea Island, GA

Erin & Patrick had a beautiful wedding weekend at The Cloister on Sea Island. I remember when I first received a phone call from Erin and she had the most precious southern voice I have ever heard; I thought to myself how sweet this girl must be. It turns out she is a gem inside and out, and we just loved working with her, Patrick and their families! Some of my favorite things about Erin & Patrick's beautiful wedding weekend: Erin's asymmetrical dress that transformed to a strapless at the reception, the beautiful flowers – all in white- clean and elegant lines and all so different, the bright coral bridesmaid dresses, working with Melissa Ippensen again- Sea Island's amazing coordinator, Patrick’s smile when he saw Erin for the first time before the ceremony, the monogrammed handkerchiefs as wedding favors, the energy on the dance floor from the guests, The Cloister's surprise exit sparklers... Congratulations Erin & Patrick! We were so honored to cover your weekend!

Alma Mater

I'm up late after a wedding in Chapel Hill, my alma mater, reliving the good ole' days. Oh the memories of walking through the quad, passing the Pit, Carolina Inn and Chi-O house....going to Top of the Hill, getting coffee and scones from Fosters, and yes, we did just order Gumby's late night. If you are a UNC grad you know what I am talking about ;) I just photographed Cambey & David's wedding weekend, and I can't even begin to tell you how sweet this couple is. I just love them and their families! We can't wait to share photos with you soon. Go Heels!

I photographed Maggie & Michael's wedding in 2008 at Sea Island, and I was so thrilled when I found out Maggie was due with her little boy only weeks after me. I met M and he is just as sweet as his parents. Look at those blue eyes! Congratulations Maggie & Michael!
