Nora’s Bridal

Paula — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:48:23 +0000

There are only so many words to express true beauty. Nora’s personality shines right through photos in such special way. Literally every move she makes is so tender and so appropriate. The vision for this session was inspired by beauty, darkness, elegance & a 1940′s vibe. We went to the Grand Dunes, which provided the right amount of light, much like a Rembrandt Style. Huge thanks to Salon Edge for this beautiful hair do & the Bouquet is by the fabulous designer Mark Gladden. Thanks so much Nora for letting me bring this vision to life, its fantastic!

Aww…this sweet couple..I am so glad for their marriage coming up in May of this year. Their little boy Lincoln is soo sooo cute and so tender. { I really really love boys}! From the moment that Joy contacted me, I knew she was a special person, and getting to photograph them, felt like I had known them for a very long time. I can’t wait for your big day! Thanks guys for spending this time with me, I loved every second of it!

Enjoy!

P.S. Although I root for Clemson, I had to post some with their Jerseys…I didn’t mind the Tennessee as much as USC…Hahah! Just kidding, you guys look adorable!!

P.S #2: LOVED her shoes too..check out the last photo!

Steve & Julie

So here I am catching up with the blog! One of the highlighted weddings from last year was Steve & Julie’s! I absolutely loved this couple and felt so right at home with them…When I first met them together and photographed their engagement session, I knew they were truly special. I guess cracking up a “that”s what she said” type a joke was when I knew for sure we really clicked. Steve is just hilarious and its easy to tell how much he is really in love with Julie. You guys were incredible and loved meeting your family and friends…what a special day to remember.

Huge thanks to the awesome wedding vendors who made this possible: Venue: Deborbieu Club; Event Planning: Stunning and Brilliant Events; Flowers: Greenskeeper, Videographer: Hart to Heart Media; Cake: Croissants; Gown: Hayden & Olivia

Micah’s Bridal Session!

Have you ever imagined a bridal session at a grave yard? I certainly had not thought about anything even close to that. When Micah approached me with the idea of doing her photos in a cemetery I was quite excited to make her vision to come life. She wanted to seem like a gosh, with her gorgeous gown and her super long vail. Loved the role she played in this shoot, she was all about it! Enjoy!

Merry Christmas

Feliz Navidad & Merry Christmas! I absolutely love this day…maybe I should give you an insight about how we Colombian people celebrate it! First we start with a tradition called Novela–Its a nine day gathering with family and friends, we sing Villancicos ( Christmas Carols in Spanish) and we eat traditional Colombian pastries and such. On Christmas Eve, we usually have a pretty big dinner, we dance latin music…a collection of Salsa, Merengue, Vallenato & maybe some Bachata. Whew…the dancing is a pretty big deal..there are steps to each one of these types of music. ( I think I should eventually explain this part further!). On the 24th, we stay up until 12am…Christmas time! We open up presents then and usually dance some more! I really really enjoy the time with my friends and my family. So, however you celebrate, I wish to you an awesome day! I leave you with a photo of Miles! Merry Christmas!

Super excited about being part of this project founded by the Wellness council of South Carolina.
