jessica & dave ~ engagement

Jessica and Dave's enagagement session took place a few weeks ago in Travelers Rest, S.C. What beautiful scenery! They are such a fun loving couple! We had a blast during their session. Their doggies even got in on the action... and you know me... I LOVE the doggies! :) Jessica and Dave were troopers because we actually brought a camera crew with us to film as we were working. Thanks so much to Alyssa and Chris Wentzel of Cinematic Impressions! They're putting together a promotional video for us.

So these are a few of my favorite images from the shoot. Check out their slideshow below! Thanks to Jessica and Dave! Can't wait for the wedding. :)

anastasia and pedro ~ wedding

Atlanta couple Anastasia and Pedro's wedding was a truly joyous event! Even the rain had to take a back seat to the celebration. The morning wedding (a first for us) was held at the Tabernacle Baptist Church with the reception following at the Greenville Hilton. Stacey (as her friends and family calls her) was a beautiful bride. I was so happy to be able to document her getting ready photos. Pete (as his friends and family calls him) was the perfect groom. What I loved about this wedding was that there was so much love and devotion. The expression on Pete's face when he first caught a glimpse of Stacey was priceless. I saw true joy and excitement. One of the funniest and most perfect moments of this wedding was when Pete and his Mom were sharing the "Mother Son" dance to the tune of Boys II Men's classic "Mama". All of a sudden there was the sound of a male choir singing the chorus of the song. Low and behold, all six groomsmen were standing at the head table serenading Pete and his Mom. It was so funny, yet so perfect! I was able to move around a get a great shot of the dance with the "singers" in the background. It was one of those moments I'll never forget and one of my favorite images!

Check out the slideshow of some of the images below. The song is the song Stacey walked down the isle to. If you'd like to see it full size click here! I'll post some of my favorites from the wedding in the next few days. Until next time, be blessed and be thankful.

My Birthday!!!

So it's that time a year "again". My birthday was this past Tuesday and I must say I really enjoyed it. Initially there was just a little bit of dread, but within an hour or so my mood had shifted and I just decided to be thankful for yet another birthday. I decided to make the most of this year, this time in my life. The celebration actually started on Sunday when I had dinner with my family. It was such a great event! I was especially happy that my beautiful 87 year "young" grandmother "Mama Grace" was there. She was so much fun during dinner. Here are a few photos from my dinner party. Thanks to my sister Gina for pulling it all together. Thanks to everyone for the gifts and goodies. I love you all with all my heart.
