So excited I am getting around to catching up on blogs because of sessions like this from the Fall. Alison and Taylor got married back in November but here are a few of her bridals. Honestly, she is SO incredibly stunning from head to toe. The lighting was also GORGEOUS at 1912 Bed and Breakfast that afternoon. You can’t beat pictures beneath oak trees!

I owe all of the appreciation in the world to Emily Solberg Photography for these images and for capturing this wedding. Shortly after I found out I was pregnant, due in December, I reached out to Emily to see if she would be willing to capture the Riles’ wedding for me since I would be 38 weeks pregnant. She graciously said YES and I am so glad she did! The images are completely stunning for a pretty incredible couple.

I hate I missed the big day but I did have the privilege of getting to capture Christen and Shane’s engagement pictures – and let me tell you, these two are more than perfect for each other. Shane is always going above and beyond to surprise Christen. At their engagement session, he made surprise reservations after the session since she was already dressed up. On their wedding day, he surprised her by bringing their dogs to the venue for a few pictures. What a pleasure it was to be involved in even just a small portion of the Riles’ story! Thank you both for trusting me and Emily to capture and edit your big day!

Emily and Alex’s big day took place at The Farm at Ridgeway. It was a gorgeous day and filled with lots of special details. Emily gifted Alex ornaments for their first Christmas as a married couple. Alex wrote vows specifically to Emily’s children – an emotional moment to witness for anyone. Emily’s daughter was their flower girl and her son carried her veil as Emily walked down the aisle. Each and every detail was so family-oriented and sentimental. It was such a meaningful day to celebrate and I’m so happy they allowed me to be a part of it!

Fun fact of the day.. I’ve known Katie since I was 5 years old. We tell everyone we meet this but we went through 5 graduations together, all the way from kindergarten to college. She decided to go to law school after college and I was not about that life…but go her. While at law school, she met Nick. I joke with Katie that she was always “teacher’s pet” growing up, which always made me jealous but in so many ways, it’s because she’s so incredibly lovable. You can’t help but to get to know her so it’s no wonder that Nick quickly fell in love with her after spending some time together at the Charleston School of Law. And it didn’t take long for everyone, including myself, to fall in love with Nick after the two of them started dating.

I’ve known both Todd and April for over 10 years. These two dated a long time ago and took a break for a few years. Fortunately, they found their way back to each other. In fact, whenever they were newly back together, I asked Todd if I would be invited to the wedding AND about a year later, here we are! For their engagement session, Todd and April chose Sage Valley – which is the best scenery in Aiken, btw. April also had the awesome idea to bring along some wine for a “cheers”.
