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!

It’s a screenshot from a video filmed Saturday night in low-light on a smart phone, but it captured a core memory for me! 💜 We used to dance a lot; well before everyone had video devices with them everywhere. 😅👵🏼 This picture is such a treasure to me-  my forever dance partner! 🥰 Thank you, @pampamtee !!!

I’ve recently realized that most of my friends force me out of my comfort zone. 😆😆😆 And while I am not the best at voicing my thoughts a lot of times, I’m so very thankful for that in my friends! 

And it is no different for this girl! 

Find you a friend who says, (meanwhile, while we are planning a trip to Utah), “Oh! But let’s extend a couple days, rent a car, leave Utah and travel to Idaho for some sight- seeing to check that state off my list! And while we are there we may as well drive on to Oregon before flying back home. And possibly Washington if we have time!” 😳🤣 And so we did! (We didn’t make it to Washington, though.)

Or a friend when returning from a girl’s trip to Hawaii with a 4 hr layover in San Francisco says, “you know… we might as well hop in an Uber and go see the Golden Gate Bridge while we wait.”And already had the Uber lined up before I could think this through. 😆😅 

I knew of April in high school, and even vacationed with her family (friends also with her SIL) one Christmas to Dollywood, and thought, “now there’s a girl who isn’t afraid to just tell it like it is. I LOVE THAT!” 🤣 No wonder our lives have connected years later! And I’m SO THANKFUL FOR YOU!

Happiest of birthdays, @april_waddell_essentials ! Have the best adventure today!!!

Y’all… I really *am* thankful for friends in my life who push me out of my comfort zone. lol! And also plan adventures!!! I do think of the fun adventures in my head, but the planning part is NOT my forte. However, my pal Allison has it down pat! 🙌 She approached me several months ago about an overnight backpacking trip with her and her kids. I was reluctant, but I also have been slightly curious how it would be, since I’ve camped many times- just not by packing everything in on foot.  So, when she said it would be for only one night, AND we would have another gal along who had done it many times, I agreed! 

Well, two days before leaving, we had to pivot. 😅 Our ‘guide’ had a family emergency, and couldn’t go with us. So, our original plan for hiking the Blue Ridge Parkway had to be switched up a little, since we both knew nothing about it. We decided to add a little safety net and backpack into a primitive site at Jones Gap State Park instead. It was WONDERFUL! We camped beside a waterfall, and had the best time! 

Our backpacks were SLAM FULL. 😆 And we survived it! We all slept in hammocks. Well… I didn’t sleep real well actually because I FROZE (40ish degrees) even though I had on a short sleeve, a long sleeve, a sweat shirt, and a jacket all while inside a sleeping bag. 🤣🤦‍♀️ I definitely learned I need a hammock liner or something. 

Regardless, I would totally do it again! 🙌💜 So thankful for nature-loving friends!!!
