Fall Wedding #2

Mike & Melissa Stallings

November 5, 2011

Charleston, SC

Mike and Melissa got married on a cold (one of the few) day in November  - which meant I got to pull out my white pea-coat for the first time of the season :) The wedding took place at the brides childhood church, and the reception was little venue on East Bay. They are such a great couple and was so happy I was able to celebrate their special day with them. The day was full of fun, family and lots and lots of love!

Fall Wedding #1

My "Reception" Date

 Brandon & Gina got married Saturday at the Summerall Chapel at the Citadel. Reception was at the Francis Marion Hotel downtown Charleston. Completely unlike me... I left my camera in the car for the actual ceremony, and was not very attentive during the most important parts of the reception i.e. First Dance, Father/Daughter Dance, Toast, etc. I was being a complete social butterfly, and it didn't help my "reception" date Cheserae had my camera in the pocket of her cute little bridesmaid dress.

Happily Ever After

We live. We learn. And when we are lucky, we love. 

This summer has be a summer of romance. Unfortunately, not for yours truly, but I was fortunate to be apart of 3 couples very special day. As different as they all were.. they were all so amazing.

Kim & Mike
Married July 23, 2011 
The Mallard Yacht Club in Long Beach Island, NJ


This Carolina Girl went "down the shoyah" for this wedding. The weather was beautiful, but so damn hot. It was hotter in Jersey than it was in South Carolina, but such a wonderful time. Kim was absolutely stunning, especially wearing her purple patent leather Louboutins. The reception was ahhhhmazing! Everything was perfect... The flowers were beautiful. The food was delicious. The band was awesome. One of my favorite parts of the wedding was after the cake was cut, they also brought out trays of pastries from Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken! This wedding was especially important to me because this is the day Kim officially became part of the family, and we couldn't be happier!

Kayla & Wren
Married August 6, 2011
Hutchinson Compound in Jedburg, SC


Kayla's wedding day started off perfectly, I know because I had the honor of doing her make-up for her special day. BUT it didn't stay that way for long. Wardrobe malfunctions, a missing dress (mine), and RAIN were just a few hiccups we had to endure to make this day perfect for the two of them. The rain stopped in time to dry off the chairs and stay away long enough for the "I DOs" but shortly after the first dance, it started it up. This country chic theme was evident all through the day. She wore cowboy boots. There were sunflower seeds and daises everywhere. And the best part was the carved tree "Kayla & Wren 08/06/2011".  Kayla did not let the rain stop her from having the time of her life and neither did I, so we danced the night away... in the rain! 

I could not be happier for all six of them, and wish them a lifetime of happiness and love <3
