Pawleys Island Wedding

This is Pawleys Island Chapel. It sits on the marsh and is just so cute. I had the privilege of photographing Maryann and David Mahood's Wedding there.

Maryann wanted a very simple and intimate Wedding and she did Perfect at planning it. The flowers were beautiful and her dress was so elegant.

I just love the feel of this one, the way the light picks up just enough of the Bride, Groom and Priest to let you know that you are viewing a sacred moment.

Here Maryann is holding her pretty flowers. I love the whole story this simply tells.

This is too cute. I smile every time that I see it. I love the Priest's huge approving grin.

There were a total of 12 attendees including the Bride and Groom! They traveled from New Jersey to be there with Maryann and David.

Very Cool!!!!

What a good looking couple!!!

Maryann was stunning in her Wedding Gown.

Hot!! HOT!!!! HOT!!!!!!!!!!!! Ya'll look GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the brand new "bunch". David has two handsome boys and Maryann has two gorgeous girls that they brought into their union.

David and his CUTIES!!!!!!

Maryann with her new boys!

The Pappano Family

This is the Awesome Pappano Family. It was great to meet this family. I had a session the day before with their friends that are vacationing with them. Their friends were great and I knew that they had to be as well. They are here from Ohio and wanted to have a Beach Session done while here in Charleston.

You would think that a Hurricane was approaching by the winds that day. A ton of closed eyes avoiding the blowing sand but we managed to get some good ones.

This is their Beautiful 5 month old son. I like this one because it reminds me so much of the famous Gerber Baby.

Here are their three "EVERYTHINGS"!!! I could tell in that short amount of time that I spent with them that they REALLY LOVE their kids!!!

Just LOOK at their LOVE!!!

It was so cute to watch how Mom could make this baby laugh on cue!!! He would just giggle in delight!!!

I ALWAYS LOVE getting Dad holding his little girl's hand as the walk off. I envision it being displayed at her wedding one day. How sweet would that be?

I also LOVE getting Mom and Dad interacting, that is where it ALL began!!! Their Love created that beautiful Family.

Look how cute!!! Look at her little hands digging in the sand! I must have promised her a trip to Disney World to get her to sit still, she was a ball of energy and had no intention slowing down for anything.

This cutie is 16 this year, such a milestone in ALL their lives! I think he had the girls waiting for him after the session!

This is one of my favorites too. It is funny how I almost always capture the whole family looking at Mom. She is the center of their worlds, the glue that binds them, BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!

Thank You All for allowing me to document this precious time in your lives!!!

The Neugebauer Family

I had the Awesome privilege of meeting this Beautiful Family while they were here for their summer vacation. They wanted a session to document this precious time in their lives.

This is the little pack of dynamite that makes this time so memorable. She is such a cutie!!! Full of energy and definitely made me break a sweat! :)

I love this one at the waters edge. Be sure to watch their SLIDESHOW to see just how brave she really is!!!

She would not take her little crocs off because she does not like the sand! She is cute in them anyway!

She did not want anything to do with slowing down to get pictures but as soon as Mom and Dad focused on each other instead of her, she wanted to be right in the middle of it! Too Funny!!

And they did NOT have a problem at all with that!!! That is obviously where she stays, in the middle of their world and hearts!!!

I LOVE CLOSE UPS and this doll is perfect for them!!!!

I am sure these will be cherished forever.

I could just eat her up!!!!!

Thanks for allowing me into your world!!! It is SO Alive!!!

And give your Baby Girl a Thank You hug from me!!

Laurie & Joe

This is Laurie and her husband Joe. Bill and I had the great pleasure of meeting them downtown for a wonderful dining experience at the Brewery. She was passing through the area and wanted to stop in to meet Bill and some of her other Charleston Comrades. They have been teaming together to get the VOD platform running at its peak. Laurie has been instrumental in saving Bill a many of headaches and for that Bill and I are very grateful.

Joe had my interest peaked as he spoke about his ideas in videography. It is great to hear someone so passionate about their dreams. I look forward to a future project that we are planning.


Poor Laurie arrived with one sprained ankle and managed to sprain the other as she was exiting a carriage tour. Of all places to be in such a predicament, Charleston!!! Where you walk forever exploring all its beauty!!!
It was a great time Laurie and Joe! Best wishes to you both on all your future plans!!!!!!!
