I tell Will all the time that I don’t just feel like your photographer; that at many weddings I feel as though I’m a wedding planner, a bridesmaid AND a photographer. We are with you guys all day, helping you with last minute adjustments or calling the florist when they forgot something before you find out so you don’t lose that genuine smile and get a twitchy eye lid from the stress during your photos. It’s not intentional that I become your best buddy and right hand man…

When I was planning my wedding reception, I didn’t know about candy buffets.  I searched on-line for several hours looking for the perfect favors.  I finally settled for candles in little tins with personalized labels.  The candles came with white organza drawstring bags and I included a personalized book of matches.  Pretty and a bit clever, but I wonder how many of those candles ended up in a junk drawer or in the trash.  I would have gone crazy for a candy buffet and so would my husband…

Bridal toasts are an important part of every wedding reception and when those speaking plan accordingly, their prose can have a lasting impact.  It is suggested that a toast does not run too long as it can put a drag on the evening.  A good toast is based on quality, not longevity.  It is suggested that anyone who takes the mic cap their speech to a max of two minutes and withhold longer narratives for a different setting, perhaps during the rehearsal…

By far one of the most breathtaking wedding ceremonies this year, Andria and Chris were married at the Pretty Place Chapel, overlooking over the Blue Ridge Mountains. Accompanied by a cool breeze, the setting sun, and solo violinist, Joy Rogers, the ceremony couldn’t have been more serene.

The ceremony was followed by a amazing reception at the elegant Poinsett Hotel in downtown, Greenville, SC.…

As I’ve mentioned in one of my earlier posts, I am a bit of a foodie. I love different types of cuisine, and I’m lucky to live in a region of the country where I can get pretty much anything I like in the way of international food – even if it looks like the ice planet Hoth at present. There’s this little Mexican restaurant that makes the best quesadillas ever. I get them when I want to treat myself, but…

The biggest myth about the destination wedding is that it’s a stress-free way to plan your wedding. While most large resorts may have extensive wedding planning services, there are many…
