Celeste + Michael | Greenville, SC Wedding Photographer

Weddings

9 Nov

It’s a classic tale– two hearts, joined together during geology class. But hey, it might be just me, but I think these two were learning more than the origin, history, and structure of the earth.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing Mike and Celeste’s wedding and reception at the breath-taking Gassaway Mansion in Greenville, SC. Not only were they the host venue for the ceremony, but also provided the florals and day-of details. And after a beautiful celebration, these two lovely’s have made their way to the island of St. Maarten for the honeymoon. So Mike and Celeste, as you waste away in the Caribbean, know that I thank you both for allowing us to be a part of your big day! Enjoy your sneak-peek.

And to be honest with everyone, I had a REALLY hard time picking which photos to be a part of the offical peek; normally this isn’t a problem for me; so, I just posted all my favs 🙂 I might have to find a new blog host after this post! lol

I have day-dreamed about a shot like this! Celeste you were absolutely stunning!

Again, just gorgeous!

All the beauts! 🙂

MANY thanks to my father-in-law for initiating this very opportunity for me, and MANY thanks to him for acting as second shooter for me and capturing this awesome shot!

Now. I think this may be the most awesome ‘you may kiss your bride’ moment I have ever laid my eyes on. Don’t you agree? Wowza.

Beautiful details. Just beautiful. Cake by Kreative Kakes by Design.

Reception facility and details provided by the Gassaway Mansion.

Go ahead. Grab the tissue. You know you want to. As I’ve mentioned before, I love me some daddy’s girls! And I know oh so well the bond between mother and son too. I love moments like these!

What fun we all had! I even busted a move or two. lol

And to prove how much her daddy loves her, he allowed his now son-in-law to leave in his classic car.

I enjoyed it guys and I wish you all the happiness in the world as husband and wife!

Stay in the know!

I love experiencing ‘firsts’ with my child; always
I love experiencing ‘firsts’ with my child; always have. And that doesn’t stop when they are teenagers. 🥰 February 21, 2026 was Gus’ first reenactment- the Battle of Aiken! You can tell by the black powder on his face, too, as that is the initiation. 😁

He planned for this day for a year. One of his buddies briefly mentioned after the 2025 one that they should look into being involved. Well, that conversation sparked a drive in this boy! Although the friend didn’t go onto being involved, Gus knew he would! So he saved up some money and purchased his gear. 

At the last minute, the unit he was originally registered with backed out of attending due to potential bad weather. So that left us scrambling. We told him not to worry and to just pack the vehicle with all his gear and we would just drive on to Aiken and figure it out when we get there. 😅 And by divine intervention, I’m sure of it, he ended up with the most wonderful unit of reenactors that he will continue with now, for years to come. 🙌🙏 

PS: he had his heart set on representing the South, but his unit was drafted to portray Union federalists at the last minute. 🤪

A couple weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be able to get away for a couple days with my grandma, mama, and two of my aunts! Such a blessing!!! 💜 We perused the beach for shells and at night played the game ‘Taco, Goat, Cat, Cheese, Pizza’ (there were only two games provided in the house 🤣); all of us came away with some type of bruise. 🤣 We also had the Stone family famous shrimp ‘n grits for breakfast one morning! This trip was such a treasure!

These fellas had a heckuva start to their fishing tournament season this past Saturday. 😅 First, their typical boat captain was under the weather, so had to play switch-a-roo on boat *and* captain. Then, about 11am during the tournament the boat they were in broke down, leaving them only the section of the lake they could access with the trolling motor. Thankfully, a fellow team boat captain (and our church pastor!) was able to return his anglers to weigh-in, then make the run across the lake to snatch up these two fellas and get them to the dock in time for weigh-in. SHEW Y’ALL! 😅😵‍💫 They still managed 4 of the 5 fish limit with 10.04 lbs. 🙌
