A lot can happen in a year, and this is past year did not disappoint! Today is the anniversary of the first wedding that John and I captured as a team! Through the year, we preserved the memories of 18 weddings, together. All stories have a beginning, and so does this one, the story of Christina & John husband and wife wedding photography team begins with our first wedding; the most splendid day when our now dear friends said, I do! Life has the most wonderful way of sending little surprises when you least expect it, and Morgan and Joe have been such a treat! Not only did we get…

Classic. Elegant. Joyful. Those are a few words that come to mind when I think about Carson and Aarons beautiful Governors Club Wedding! We loved the care Carson took in selecting all of her details! Black tuxedos paired with bouquets of brilliant red roses was magazine style sophistication! In all fairness, we are particularly fond of this look because we chose the same palette for our wedding almost three years ago! The day was flawless and lovely full of so many sweet little moments! Our personal favorite was the first look Carson shared with her precious father, Archie! He stood with his back to the entrance of a tiny garden.…

Oh, friends! Do we have some pretty to share with you today! This wedding has quickly become a new favorite!! We had the pleasure of shooting Diana and Ralph’s gorgeous wedding in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina this past weekend, which was designed by our very talented Bride, and we loved. Every. Minute. Of. It. We loved the way Diana chose to incorporate shades of royal purple and lavender, some of her favorite colors, into the gray suites. Our photographer hearts were on overdrive from the moment we arrived on site! From matching silk robes to the rows of lush fresh bouquets, all packaged up in a luxury beachfront resort! They really figured out…

We have all heard the adorable quote “choose a seat, not a side” This sweet sentiment is embraced by many couples on their wedding day to encourage and celebrate unity among their families! We definitely think it is such a blessing to know that after the “I Do” your family is now twice a big! John and I were both, so fortune to indeed gain another family! People that love us just as much as our own ever did!  I am beyond thankful for our large extended family! In our families, we find comfort, support, friendship, and love! We believe our precious couple Tonya & Scott shares this blessing! After…

Luishell stood at the front of the church. Waiting for Sarah, his Bride, to begin her walk down the aisle. He was cool and calm. The door opened, and you could feel the love fill this small chapel as Sarah entered. Luishell was all smiles as he took his very soon to be wife’s hand and guided her up the steps. Their closest family and friends watched as a story love that began sixteen years ago added another chapter. Even I was overcome with how romantic this moment was. A Tuesday wedding at Brookgreen Gardens SC is just about unheard of. However, this date was something so special for Sarah…

Let’s talk about love! Do you remember the moment you knew you had found the person that your heart was longing for? I do! I’ll never forget that moment! At a simple lunch date with a man that still has the dreamiest blue eyes brought me a piece of his homemade blackberry cobbler! I knew John was something extraordinary and I could not wait to see him again! Our sweet Bride, remembers that moment too! Meghan & Curt met for a date that almost didn’t happen! She couldn’t find Curt, but when she came around a corner they physically bumped into each other! (AWW) These two cuties spent the entire…
