Katelyn and Jason | Savannah Wedding

I am excited to share the wedding day of Katelyn and Jason...  

Katelyn and Jason traveled down from Wisconsin for their destination wedding here in Savannah. When asked “Why Savannah?” the answer was quite easy for them… “Because we think that the city is absolutely beautiful” not to mention its close enough to many of their friends and family, which live in Jacksonville. 

Katelyn and Jason chose Whitefield Square as the ceremony venue for their Big Day.  Whitefield Square is one of the only squares in Savannah that house a gazebo, not to mention that gazebo is canopied by Savannah’s majestic live oaks.  With the sweeping limbs and Spanish moss above them, Katelyn and Jason shared their vows complete with laughter, smiles and tears!  

Once the ceremony concluded, guests enjoyed cocktails, dinner, and dancing, at the always stunning Vic’s on the River! 

BTW - I have to mention how amazing it was, when Katelyn’s brother performed their first dance song… Truly a memorable moment!

We had such a great time with you two… You are such a great couple to be around, and the love you two share is beautiful!

On to some pics from the day!

Rachel and Clay | Savannah Intimate Wedding

Rachel and Clay traveled to Savannah to celebrate their big day in Savannah’s historic charm!

Everything about Rachel and Clay’s wedding day was centered around close friends and family. And to me, this made their day so very personal and heartfelt.

Rachel and Clay’s special day started off at the Wedding Cake Mansion, where the two prepped and readied, followed by an intimate and personal ceremony, in Columbia Square... And may I say, Columbia Square proved to be the perfect location for Rachel and Clay to exchange their vows. With its beautiful fountain, live oaks, and quiet setting, the ceremony location was just ideal. Mother nature even decided to shine the most amazing golden light upon them, during the ceremony!

Following their beautiful ceremony, the party moved to The Grey, where the couple and guests enjoyed a private dinner in “The Shower Room” overlooking the main dining room. 

We had such a great time with you guys and wish you the best in your future together!

On to some pics from their day!

Our Finalists | 2016 Wedding Photography Giveaway

VOTING IS NOW CLOSED! THANK YOU TO ALL THAT VOTED!

CONGRATULATIONS NINA AND JC!

One again I am thrilled by all of our contest entries and taken back by the stories shared with me. I am always so excited to read the stories from all of the deserving couples that have entered the contest. It really is just so hard to narrow the entries down to three couples...

Again, I would like to thank all of the couples for sharing your stories with us. I know all of you are deserving in one way or another and your weddings will be amazing and the best day of your lives.

Without further ado, I would like to share our final three as well as to open up voting. I am going to do this a little differently this year as I usually share the names/pictures of the couples with a bit of the stories shared with me. This year, along with their names/pictures, I am going to share each of the three "fun facts" the couples have shared about themselves!

As always, I do ask that everyone be respectful and honest with your votes... AKA No cheating! ;)

Nina and JC

Three Fun Facts:

•      Nina and JC’s first road trip was to Hilton Head Island during Easter 2015 to visit Nina’s grandparents. The island holds a special place in their hearts.
•      Nina felt the ring in JC’s pocket the day he was going to propose but did not know it was a ring thanks to JC’s quick cover up.
•      The same tie that Nina had chosen during the blind date the summer that they met was the same tie that JC wrapped up as a present to give to Nina on Christmas day leading into the proposal. 

---

Mallory and Cliff

Three Fun Facts:

•     On their very first date (before they actually started dating), it came time for Cliff to drop Mallory off at her parent's house. He had to carry her up the stairs and ring the doorbell...too much Grand Marnier!
•      Mallory calls Cliff Mr. Pickle - very interesting story behind this one!
•      Cliff dated a girl named Mallory before this Mallory, haha!

---

Jonna and Logan

Three Fun Facts:

•      We both go on a mission trip every summer for a week.  I've gone on my trip for 9 years, and she's gone on her trip for 13 years.
•      I can't dance on my own, but when I mirror her moves I become socially acceptable as a dancer.  The "whip & nae nae" are being practiced for the reception.
•     We recently got two puppies who we named Chewbacca and Han Solo

Please share with family and friends as VOTING IS NOW CLOSED!!

Giving Back (Our Way) | 2016 Free Wedding Photography Contest

It's that time again!!! The holidays are once again upon us and the year is coming to an end...

We are so thankful for all of the opportunities we have been given, and we owe that to every one of our couples. We are not in the business of saving lives, but in our attempt to “give back” and as a small token of appreciation to everyone that has believed is us along the way, we like to put on this annual contest! 

In tradition, we would like to “give back” (our way), and once again hold our contest for:

FREE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY!! 

There are so many couples out there that have overcome obstacles together. There are so many couples out there who financially just don't have the budget for a professional photographer and could use a break. There are so many couples out there that give their all for others and never ask for anything in return.

It is for those couples, that we want to “give back” by offering a free wedding photography package to one deserving couple!
