I was beyond excited when Jennifer Hitchcock at The Local Palate contacted me about photographing their entertaining feature for the July/August issue of this gorgeous food magazine. They are based out of Charleston, but focus on the “food culture of the south”, which is brimming with energy.

The entertaining feature, “An Independent Feast” was styled by Magda Pelzer of Vieuxtemps and the menu was created by John Zucker of Cru Cafe and Cru Catering, whom I get to enjoy at many of the weddings I shoot.

There were some extra delicious Firefly sweet tea vodka cocktails on hand, but sadly I missed taste testing those that day. We shot at a stunning property on James Island and I was ready to move onto their boat after the shoot it was so scenic.

Enjoy the photos and go grab a mag!
