Coastal Engagement Session: Mckae + Ethan | Mandeville Wedding Photographer
"And I know you are the last thought, breath, and wish I will ever have, take, or make, because you are the daydream I am supposed to have for the rest of my life." I love photographing a girl in love. There are times in photographs that the heart, soul, and joy of her existence radiate right through into each snapshot in time. This is Mckae. As I sat flipping through her and Ethan's finished gallery of images yesterday, my heart was so full of the contentment I felt from the both of them.
I hope you enjoy a few of my favorites from their beachy engagement session!

A Country Fall Wedding: Bethany + Chase
You know what I love about photographing weddings outside of big city limits? The infinite opportunity for breathtaking landscape. Long dirt roads, overarching trees--just add people. Big hearts and even bigger smiles--Bethany and Chase exude and aura nothing short of that. From the time I did their engagements last year, I felt so at home with them and the genuine compassion they share for one another. A desire to be surrounded by adventure, love, and family is so apparent in the way it radiates from both Bethany and Chase--from the way they love to the eagerness for travel in their eyes.
I also particularly enjoyed Bethany's choice of bridesmaid dresses--they were just so perfect for Fall! 
I truly could not get over the perfection in this little country side road. The bridal party and I had a little pre-wedding fun in the glowing light there.
Casual, yet well-kempt, just the way I like a group of groomsmen.
Bethany and Chase, thank you for the opportunity to document your day for you. I wish you nothing but a lifetime of love, laughter, and tons of travels.

A Charleston Harbor Elopement | A Low Country Boil: Reagan + Hunter
As if the town of Charleston isn't charming enough, photographing the elopement of the most smitten couple with ever-fabulous style sure is. Reagan and Hunter looked like they came straight out of a magazine with the elation that encompassed their smiles and entire personas for their day. Overcast skies, a breathtaking harbor, and the most lovely designed details made for an elopement of Low Country perfection.
She just molded into Hunter's arms with such ease--a beauty inside and out.
Seriously, give me a harbor or a beach to photograph as my landscape and I'm pretty sure I'd be forever happy. 
After having a little time for pre-event photos, Reagan and Hunter got to set their sights on the hard work of their ever-fabulous designer, Jacin of Lovely Little Details. Jacin left not a detail unturned for their reception--an intimate Low Country Boil on the harbor with their closest family and friends.
I told you not a detail was left unfinished. (:
Mint Juleps, a clam bake, and the most perfect afternoon. 
There was a little time later in the day to slip Reagan and Hunter away from guests for a few more quick shots near the palm trees and sand.
Can we just discuss Reagan's perfection of a bun?
Reagan and Hunter, the love you share for one another and your fervor for life just radiates right out of you onto those around you. I wish you nothing but a lifetime of cuddles and laughs.
