You really can’t beat Charleston for any kind of photography. So when Katie told me that’s where they wanted their session, I was more than happy. Our little family decided we’d take a little vacation to Charleston this past July so everything lined up perfectly. The only thing we had to deal with was the heat. And oh gracious was it hot for this shoot. You’d never know from this lovely couple that we’re all sweating like crazy. I, personally looked like I had been swimming. Anyway, these two were aaaadorable and I’m totally digging Katie’s little yellow dress…so in right now.
On a personal note, Katie and Ben brought along their little golden puppy. Sniff sniff…my Kenah (also a golden) passed away from cancer back in May. I actually haven’t blogged about it. It’s been too hard to share and honestly I felt that if I did a whole post on her and how great she was it just wouldn’t be enough. Not to mention that I just emtionally couldn’t handle it. I got kenah in college as a puppy and she was an incredible dog and best friend. Much love to my pumpkin and all the other pumpkins out there.

Ever since having a daughter of my own, the “father daughter” dance has become so special to me. That’s way, hands down, these are my favorite images from the day. I really imagine that when Amelia gets married, Matt will dance with her and hold her and still remember what it feels like to hold her as a baby. I don’t think that goes away for a parent. This is why I have the best job in the world.

I thought I would try something a little different for this post and see how it goes over. I’ll be honest, I love blogging, but boy does it take FOREVER. I’ve been thinking for a while I should try using my album software to create a layout and then upload it as an image. Last night I did that and seriously it cut my blogging from 2 hours to 30 minutes!! Wow, you can accomplish a lot when you use your common sense. It’s embarrassing it took me so long to go that route. Anyway, I hope YOU (my readers) like this layout ok because it’s a lot quicker. I’m sure I’ll tweak it some, but it works for today.
So enough about me, how about this vibrant and classy wedding?! Everyone was just lovely inside and out. Katie and Andrew were super lowkey and easy to work with and they were so kind to let me “do my thang”. I know I say this a lot about my couples and maybe it’s because the more I grow as a photographer, the more I attract the couples that are willing to let me do this. Also, I think…and this is just my two cents worth…it’s always smart to show the images that appeal to you as a photographer instead of what you think everyone else will be drawn to. This way, you naturally attract clients that love what you love. So, many “thanks” to Katie and Andrew for allowing the creativity to flow. I’m super giddy about the next post for this wedding. My favorite shot of the day is in there so stay tuned for Monday’s post. cheers everyone! Olivia
