Behind the Scenes in 2018 | Business

I think I often come across as serious and thoughtful in my online home. I try to make my blog and social media posts worthwhile and thus, they often result in a less-than-complete representation of my life. The truth is, Nathan and I love to have fun, especially around each other. On wedding days we can be intense and goofy from one minute to the next. When I get too serious or too stressed about timing, Nathan strikes a pose for light testing so I can’t help but crack up. When we get to the reception and everyone is a little more relaxed, we follow suit.

This blog, more than any others, is an accurate picture of the highs, lows, and hilarity of a wedding day. Our goal is to photograph the most joyful people on the best day of their lives with as little stress as possible. This results in a lot of shenanigans, laughter, joking, and some sarcasm thrown into the mix. It also results in both of us competing to capture less-than-flattering pictures of each other, all in the name of joking and an epic end of year blog post!

Enjoy a laugh at our expense and if you think this is funny, I can’t even begin to describe what the actual wedding day is like…

The word that most comes to mind when I see Heath and Kate together is joyful. I remembered from their engagement session that they couldn't stop laughing together, and their wedding day only heightened their happiness. Full of energy and excitement at what was to come, the two were all nerves before their first look because they just couldn't WAIT to see each other! The reaction was beautiful, and each interaction from then on was a reminder of the love they have built through their relationship and the beautiful marriage that is sure to follow.

As far as location, Heath and Kate could NOT have picked a more gorgeous place than his home, quaint Charleston, to get married. From a first look near the Charleston Battery right by the water to a gorgeous navy and gold reception at The Cedar Room in the heart of downtown, every detail screamed elegant, Southern charm. Wine colored anemones and lush cascading greenery made me fall in love with Kate's bouquet, and classy tuxes paired perfectly with the towering trees in the background of all their pictures...
