We have been looking forward to Hunter and David’s wedding since February when they first got in touch with us about photographing their big day.  I first met Hunter back in 2004 while we were both attending Lander University. When I would run into her on campus, she always had a big smile on her face. I believe people that know Hunter would classify her as the type of person you want to be around. She has such a fun, upbeat personality that really is contagious. After meeting David, it was clear that they really were made for each other.

Vernice and I were thrilled that we got to be a part of their wedding day and the fact that it was in the beautiful town of Hilton Head made it that much sweeter. They were married on the deck of the Shipyard Beach Club which overlooked the ocean.  What a venue!

We were watching the weather channel closely the week of their wedding to see what the forecast was looking like. The meteorologist was calling for a 70% chance of rain on Saturday, which wasn’t the case at all. I am not sure we could have asked for better weather. We felt like everything concerning their wedding went so smoothly. Their wedding vendors were a big part of that.

Special thanks to the following:
Wedding Planner/Florist: Jackie Lacey
DJ: Sound Celebration
Catering: Christine’s Catering
Cake: Sheri’s Edible Design

I must admit that it was tough leaving Hilton Head that Sunday. I think Vernice and I were ready to move down to the coast. Our compromise will have to be that we visit Hilton Head more often.

Here are some of our favorites from their big day. Congrats to the blissful newlyweds. Enjoy![M]We loved the broach Hunter wore on her wedding dress in honor of her grandmother.Hunter’s parents were a blast to work with!What an awesome wedding party…we had a lot of fun working with y’all!Their ceremony took place under these fun lanterns.David waiting for his bride.The kiss.In the midst of everyone breaking it down at the reception, Vernice caught these two lovebirds about to sneak a kiss.‘Don’t Stop Believing’ by Journey… Every wedding reception needs this song!

Our next blog post will be their ‘Trash The Dress’ session we did the following morning.  And yes folks, they are pretty much amazing!

We photographed Daniel and Isabel a week ago in Spartanburg,SC. They are our cousins from North Carolina and unfortunately we don’t get to see them enough. We were thrilled when Sandra emailed us to learn more about our family sessions. We had a lot of fun photographing them. Daniel is such a good big brother and loves his little sister to pieces. In turn, Isabel wants to do everything Daniel does. She truly looks up to him. Vernice and I felt very blessed to have spent the morning with them.

Here are a few of our favorites from the session. Cheers. [M]Showing off the guns!Isabel trying to flex like Daniel. Isn’t she sweet?!This image makes us smile!Special thanks to Sandra. We hope you and Dan enjoy these images of your wonderul children. We’ll see you at Christmas!
