I had such a fun time photographing this family. They all were full of smiles and laughter and I loved they wanted to have some fun in their new pool. I just wish I could have had time to jump in too! here are just a few of my favorites!

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a groom smile so much as Joseph did on his wedding day. This wedding was extra fun and special for me as I've gotten to know the brides extended family pretty well over the last few years as I've photographed her cousin's wedding and I have another one of her cousin's wedding coming up in a few months. But what else made this wedding fun was watching the bride and groom not only enjoy the time spent with family but also all the fun they had with all of their many friends there to celebrate along with them.

The groom is in the Navy and a Citadel grad so I wanted to find something extra special for the rings.

Their family and friends recognized their compatiility long before they did. After 3 years of going to church together and having the same friends, one night after church Jonathon asked her to join him for dinner and they ended up talking for hours. Five months later Jonathon promised Caroline he'd pick up dinner for them if she'd come by and help him paint the house he was remodeling. As he opened up the front door, she saw that he had a candle-lit dinner set up in the bare-walled, wires exposed, paint on the floor living room. He had prepared an amazing meal. " Seeing all this, I thought he was being very romantic for a 5 month anniversary, but had no suspicions!"

After eating Caroline was all about getting some work done but was suprised when Jonathon said he had one more thing to give her. "When he got down on one knee was when I FINALLY realized what was going on. He said that he loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me, and would I marry him? Of course, I said YES!"

Jonathon and Caroline thank you for having me a part of your wonderful day. It was so refreshing to see where your love for God, family and friends really played a huge part in how your day evolved. I think everyone was excited to see this southern country boy and this northern coutry girl tie the knot!
