Brian and Kelli {Engaged} | Lexington, SC Wedding Photographer

Couples | Engagement

9 May

It’s the sweetest story, really. While I was pouring my heart into my lessons as their high school agriculture student-teacher at the time (6 years ago or so), Kelli and Brian were stealing each others hearts; right there in class; right in front of me! They are high school sweeties and it all officially began with a little goodbye kiss in the parking lot.  Is that allowed? lol.  I told you… so sweeeet! 

Little did I know that years down the road, thanks to good ole Facebook, we would all cross paths again.  So here they are; and here I am as their official wedding photographer on June 18th.  Looking forward to it guys!  Can’t wait.  Until then, I leave you with this little sneaky peek of your engagement session.  We ventured over to the Edisto Memorial Gardens in Orangeburg, SC for this session.  Enjoy.

Rawr… love this one!

Ok.  I love them all!  So beautiful.  She adores you Brian!

And he adores you Kelli! 

See you again soon!

Meet Charlotte!

Hey, hey friend! :) I'm so glad you're here! God gives me all the strength to navigate this crazy, beautiful life of mine; and this is my attempt to keep it somewhat documented and organized! My family and I believe we are called to be stewards of the land and try our hardest to live a biblically-based, holistic life. You'll discover a whole lot about nature, photography, and being a creative entrepreneur if you poke around a little bit on the site! Enjoy. More about me...

Our next Montana adventure was a beautiful hike! C
Our next Montana adventure was a beautiful hike! Can’t go to Montana without putting in some steps. 😁 And it’s always the best when the hike includes amazing views along the way. It’s no big deal to pass people hiking and everyone has pistols strapped to their chests. Just an observation- which I don’t mind one bit. After all, we were in grizzly/ mountain lion/ moose country.  You can see on the wilderness sign that grizzlies have clawed it and bitten chunks out of it. 😅 I learned that the huge rock fields we passed attract grizzlies, where they source a certain type of moth for nutrition. They can be heard at times, flipping boulders in search of those moths. 

We also had our little sidekick Pippa along on the adventure, too! We fell in love with that little doggo while there. 🥰 And found an awesome patch of huckleberries rambling around on the national forest. They are SO. GOOD! So very thankful for the Cole family adventuring with us!

We arrived in Montana Aug. 1 and re-connected with our friends, who were so gracious to host us while visiting. (Seriously, so blessed! 🙏) Jason met Seth back in 2005ish through work, when both couples lived in Tennessee, and hit it off instantly. We have remained friends through having families, and moving in different directions, and now our kiddos have been able to grow up knowing each other.  Couples friends are hard to find in life and we don’t take that for granted!

The first adventure was a ride on the road up the mountain behind their house. Holy moly what a view, right in their backyard, basically! 😱

Our family is 21 years old today! 8/14/04 Thank you, Lord, for leading us to each other all those years ago as high school students. 🥹💜

We also recently finished a series of videos that I wish we would have had as newlyweds, so I want to share them with you today. So incredibly important as you walk through life in a marriage, because it’s downright HARD at times, but 100% worth it! 🙏

God of creation
There at the start
Before the beginning of time
With no point of reference
You spoke to the dark
And fleshed out the wonder of light… 
If creation still obeys you, so will I!

We’ve been to Montana and back the last 11 days!
We’ve been to Montana and back the last 11 days!!! I have saved a highlight if you haven’t been following along in my stories. 💜 We had the most wonderful time as always visiting the best of friends and the wilds of a land that has forever captured our hearts! (For those new around here, we had the pleasure of living in Montana twice now- 2017 and 2019- for 4 months each time.) I have about 3k photos to sort through, between 3 different cameras (😆), so be prepared for a photo dump. We made it home last night at 2am, then dove right back into our first day of school (and homeschool community day) at 8:30am this morning. 😮‍💨The jet lag is real.

16.

Sixteen years of being this amazing child’s mother. I can’t believe we are here. Today he wanted to spend his day eating barbecue and scouring graveyards for confederate graves. 😳 (I have never?! 🤣) But that’s our Gus! He’s easy-going, tender-hearted, and doesn’t hurry for anything. He loves old, classic country and rock music, and prefers to listen to them from CASSETTE TAPES. 🫠 He loves old soda bottles- the Mountain Dew bottle (from EBay) with his name on it was his only birthday gift request. 🥹 He wants an old truck one day. His favorite shows are Andy Griffith and The Beverly Hillbillies. His biggest desire right now is to be a part of a civil war reenactment because history is his absolute favorite! As a friend said, “he’s a million years old at heart”, and he is helping me appreciate things in life I would typically have just blown right past! SO thankful God has afforded us the privilege of being a part of raising this young man. 🙏
