Cary and Laura: A Heartwood Hall Wedding, Part 1

Cary and Laura: A Heartwood Hall Wedding, Part 1

by | Aug 12, 2011 | WEDDINGS

I love the above image of Laura. I think it sums up the feeling of her wedding day perfectly, anxious for the day to happen but so ready to marry her best friend Cary.

We sat down with Laura and Cary a couple weeks before their wedding just to spend a little more time getting to know them and understand what was important to them on their wedding day. One thing they kept telling us was the importance of family. When the wedding day cam we fully understood what they were talking about. Both of their families surrounded them with love as their special day took place, so much so that many tears of joy and happiness were shed.

Cary and Laura have a love for one another that is easy to see and all that are around them know that they are perfect for one another. The weather on their day decided to have a mind of its own but that didn’t get them down. Even as gust of winds swept through their ceremony they both smiled and laughed through it all. Laura’s veil almost left her head but they could care less, there were leaving as husband and wife! Having seen them so graciously get through a crazy storm on what was supposed to be a cloud free day, we clearly know that they can weather whatever life throws their way. As long as they hold each other close through the storms of life they will come out winning!

And here is a look at the first part of their day! We have a second blog post coming with all the juicy details and fun reception so stay tuned!

Vendor List

Cary and Laura’s wedding took place at the beautiful Heartwood Hall! We seriously cannot say enough kind words about Denise and the staff at Heartwood. They bent over backwards to make sure that Cary and Laura’s wedding day was absolutely perfect! The amazing food (which we will be showing details of tomorrow) was created by the excellent staff at Heartwood.

Clint at Mahaffey Tents outdid himself again with the rentals. We loving working with the staff of Mahaffey, they have the best selection and the kindest staff!

Brett at Holliday Flowers created the perfect collection of floral arrangements for the day. Everything was stunningly perfect!

Stay tuned for the second part of Laura and Cary’s wedding!

Cheers,

Savannah and Philip

The Moore Family: Charleston family vacation preview

The Moore Family: Charleston family vacation preview

by | Jun 28, 2011 | portraits

I don’t even know where to start to introduce the Moore family. They have been a huge part of our lives for three years now and we treasure every moment we get to be with them. Sadly they live on the other side of the country and we only get to see them once or twice a year. But those few moments with them are priceless.

Every other year the family takes a vacation to South Carolina and we have had the privilege of joining them on this trip twice now. It is a time for us to spend quality time with them and we also capture their family. These trips are completely different for us in that we photograph the family in a lifestyle fashion and also do a “formal” portrait session with them. We love both parts of photographing the family because it really allows us capture the family in their truest sense. We get to capture the little moments of the family and record them a lifetime. So here is a little preview of our time with the Moore family:

And one color image 🙂 We loved the old oaks of downtown Charleston and we were so glad to get to use them for part of our session with them.

Bill, Robin, Jon, Jess, Chris, Tami, Ben, Caleb, and Olivia,

Thank you so much for allowing us to e a part of your family for a week! We had such an amazing time with each and everyone of you and we cannot wait until the next time we get to be with you!

Cheers,

Savannah and Philip
