I LOVE color, so it was exciting to see the most recent issue of Smitten, which is all about… you guessed it, COLOR! Becky Hoppmann, Smitten‘s cretive director and I got together to photograph the lovely baubles of color and debate which were our faves.
Lover.ly even shared one of the photos we took of the sparkly polish we used, that was exciting! Have you tried Lover.ly yet? So cool! It’s like Pinterest but just for wedding inspiration. It’s completely visual and you can even search by color.
I am salivating right now, dying for a big gulp of this prickly pear lemonade that was featured in the recent issue of Smitten Magazine.
Created by Squeeze Onsite, it’s too delicious not to include as a signature cocktail at your wedding. It will make all of your guests say, “Mmmmmm! they have good taste!”
If you’ve already been flipping through the pages of the most recent issue of Smitten, then you have seen the Spring DIY bouquet tutorial I photographed at Stems. If not, here’s a little preview for you!
We were lucky to have the glamorous Rebecca Dew hand model for us as Anne Bowen kept us on track as to the proper steps of creating a hand-tied bouquet. See the full article here!
I was so excited to see one of the most colorful weddings I photographed last year in the most recent issue of Smitten Magazine! The details and production behind this wedding were phenomenal, which is exactly what you’d expect when working with Calder Clark Designs. The amount of thought, planning and creativity that go into one of her creations is why I absolutely love working with her.
Bowdre is a complete sweetheart and she and Rob were so much fun to get to work with. After the ceremony at the Sanctuary, their guests had the night of a lifetime at their wedding reception at Mingo Point. We all wish we could do it over again!

Y’all. Issue 6 of Smitten Magazine is about to debut and I can’t wait. I have a little inside scoop on what’s going to be in there and it’s pretty much 1000% awesome.
So before issue 6 hits the digital shelf, I wanted to show you one more article from this current issue that I photographed. We have all been in the pickle of “what do I buy” for the bridesmaids, mothers and friends in our lives. Well, the fabulous ladies of Elizabeth Stuart Designs offered up their expert advice on a few fab finds under fifty dollars. See more here!
January is a notoriously busy month for wedding planning. As we hit January 1st, how many of you said… “My wedding is this year!!!” and then frantically started adding to your list of “to do’s”? Well don’t panic yet, we’re here to help make the run up to your wedding day a little easier.
In the latest issue of Smitten Magazine, Emilie Dulles of Dulles Designs walks us through whether you should assign tables and/or seats for your guests and the best way to do it. I always love talking to Emilie and asking her my etiquette questions. She’s a gem! Read on to see what she has to say this month!
Detail photos from one of the most romantic bridal luncheons I’ve photographed were featured in the most recent issue of Smitten Magazine.
Gathering Events + Floral Design along with Kristin Newman Designs worked their magic to create “A Fairytale Affair”for Anne Marie. The love and care that went into the details is just amazing, from the heirloom china lovingly packed and brought to Charleston to the fact that Anne Marie’s dad played bartender. This is definitely one to check out!
YUM! That’s all I can say about the “Perfect Pom-Tini” featured in the current issue of Smitten Magazine. Have you seen the latest issue?! It’s absolutely gorgeous and filled with some incredible photography from weddings around the world.
The best part of photographing said cocktail was the tasting part of the shoot. (That’s one of the perks, duh!)
I am so proud to share the news that the latest issue of Smitten is out! Billed as the “Lookbook of Wedding Fancy”, this issue features weddings from around the world. We’re talking weddings from New Zealand, to Maui to one incredible wedding that Jennifer Bearden and I photographed at Claxton Farm in Asheville, NC this past summer.
Also included in this latest issue is a fashion shoot I did with Maddison Row, Charleston’s “world class boutique”, as Town & Country calls them. We donned 10 models in couture gowns by Anne Bowen, Vera Wang and Carol Hannah with styling by the talented Hollie Wood Style.
Lastly, don’t miss another one of my favorite collaborations, photos of Stems‘ stems! The “other ” Anne Bowen, brilliant flower designer and owner of Stems Charleston, dishes on some of her fall picks.
