After a series of text messages anonymously sent by a friend, Michael and Maggie were bound to continue what this friend had started. And that is exactly what they did, making it official October 30 with a beautiful ceremony at St. Philip’s Lutheran Church in Newberry, SC and reception at The Waldrop Place, also in Newberry.
I first met Michael during my college days in Forestry at Clemson University. Michael, I’ve enjoyed every moment I’ve ever been around you! And Maggie, you are a darling; I’m so glad I’ve been able to get to know you more this past year! I wish you both the best as you begin this new journey in your lives.
And so as you guys waste away on that tropical island (jealous.) know that I’m very thankful that you both considered me in your search for a wedding photographer. Enjoy this sneak peek of the fabulous images to come of your beautiful day!
St. Philip’s Lutheran Church. Hello– so beautiful!
Presenting– Mr. and Mrs. Michael Mills.
I cannot stress to you how much I adore both of these ladies 🙂 That’s Deena on the left– you know, the bride I was able to photograph back in April.
If I could plan a wedding all over again, this would be the dress! It was so beautiful and fit Maggie’s style and personality PERFECTLY! Maggie was a bride after my own heart with everything from the dress, to the rings, to the decorations, to the toe ring 🙂 and so on. I’d made some custom wedding flip flops for the groomsmen, who I was friends with, and which they gladly brandished.
And one of the little ones 🙂

Love me some daddy’s girls! Maggie spending a few moments with her parents before the ceremony.
Now you know these glasses were just sitting there screaming “TAKE MY PICTURE.” Ok. So that’s what I did 🙂 Love. Just more examples of how much thought went into the details.
And on the second attempt at bridal portraits– all I need to say is “torrential downpours” here– we managed to squeeze in some beautiful shots outdoors before the rains came the second time too. Poor thing… I felt so bad for her, but she was a trooper! And I must throw in a shout out for HMK Photography here for helping me out that day! Thank you so much girl.
GORG!
And the pups 🙂 Meet Esso and Kylie. I kept hearing the phrase “Maggie sure does love her critters”… and that she does!
Stay sweet! And don’t be surprised if I pop in sometime to take those photos of you guys with that AWESOME Chevy. tehe.
And here’s a little slideshow for a few more images from the day!
