After getting to know Drew + Erika from photographing their elopement, I couldn’t wait for their big ceremony and reception! They are such a fun couple and their friends and family were more than welcoming! This was my first Gen Z wedding, and I gotta say I’m ready for more! Everyone felt so comfortable and the focus was just making sure everyone had a great time! Thanks Eika + Drew for inviting me back for wedding part 2!
A warm sunny day in winter.
Erika came to me looking for someone to photograph their elopement and then a few months later their big ceremony. This is their elopement. I was a little worried about it being cold because this was in February and it was also in the middle of the day which can mean less favorable lighting conditions—BUT WE LUCKED OUT!— Perfect temperature and soft clouds for some beautiful diffused light! They got married on the steps of the South Carolina State House with just Erika’s mother and a friend cheering them on.
After their ceremony, we took a walk around the State House grounds to capture that “just married” look of excitement in their eyes with some portraits, embellished by freshly planted pansies, palm trees, and the historic Capital as a backdrop. Erika + Drew barely needed any direction!
Their organic emotion was more than enough to fill the frame! Check it out for yourself!
If there was one word to describe Trynady + Casey’s wedding, its heartwarming.
This could not have been illustrated more beautifully than through their intimate ceremony on a peaceful pecan orchard blanketed in sun rays. The girl’s started off getting ready at Trynady & Casey’s house while the guys were next door at Casey’s parent’s home. The weather was beautiful and the southern porch culture was in full swing.
From there they went up and around the corner to the local pecan orchard where friends and family gathered for this hometown wedding. Everything felt so cozy! It didn’t take long to see that they got their warm hearts from their welcoming families and tight-knit friends.
Thank you, Casey + Trynady, for showing me an adorable new venue and inviting me into your world for a day.
