teri + ken – destination wedding – the mills house hotel – charleston, sc
Teri & Ken’s ceremony and reception were both held at the Mills House Hotel in downtown Charleston. The ceremony was held outdoors on the rooftop terrace and the reception was held in one of the grand ballrooms. In speaking with Teri she told us that she was going for “Old Hollywood Glamour” for her wedding day look. We think she did a beautiful job; from her hair, to the dress, to her flawless buttermilk skin. The wedding was nothing less than elegant. Here are some of our favorite images from the day:
The pretty earrings below are Teri’s something new, gifted by her lovely bridesmaids.
Loved Teri’s aquamarine(below) it was her something blue gifted by Ken.
In the midst of all of the partying, we took Teri & Ken out so we could grab a few night portraits.
They were able to fall right back into partying. I’m thinking it had to be Journey. LOL.
There was no exit since they were staying at the Mills House for the night. So they said their goodbyes and we walked them to their room.

Haylee’s Maternity Session – Birmingham, Alabama
This post is very special to me (Courtney) because it is about one of my best friends in the whole world, Haylee. Haylee and I grew up together and have been friends since we were 8; that means we’ve been friends for over 21 years!! OMG!! We transitioned from riding big wheels to bikes to driving cars together. We played community softball and sold raffle tickets together. We went from being New Kids on the Block-obsessed to listening to Smashing Pumpkins and Mazzy Star together. We rolled houses and made prank calls together. Together we went from adolescent crushes to teenage boyfriends to getting married.
And now Haylee is on to the next chapter in her life: motherhood. I’m not there with her just yet, but it won’t be long. She and her husband, Jeff, whom I adore, have been together since they were teenagers and I couldn’t be more excited about their new baby girl.
Zahra and I drove to Haylee’s town (my old hometown) of Trussville, AL and shot this maternity session for Haylee and Jeff. I am so happy to have been able to document this special time in their lives. Haylee, I love you so very dearly and I can’t wait to come back and see your precious baby girl!
Check out some pics of me and Haylee together when we were little girls:
Here is a picture of us counting red receipts for a school fundraising program. 3rd grade.
Here are a couple of pictures of us right before the N.K.O.T.B. concert. Ooooh yeahhhh. The other girl in this picture is Jennifer, my other childhood friend. Jennifer is pregnant with her second child now, so be on the lookout for a blog post about her maternity session really soon.
And now check out some of our favorite shots from Haylee’s maternity session:

Ashley + Chris – Orlando, FL – Destination Wedding
We were lucky enough to fly down to Orlando to shoot Ashley and Chris’ fun Disney wedding at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort. Ashley told us that Disney was a big part of her family and that she and her older brother had been there, “OH…AT LEAST 100 TIMES!” Ashley and Chris were originally planning to have their wedding at the Duncan Estate in Spartanburg, SC but opted to have it at Disney for the sentimental value. Ashley is so bubbly and beautiful with her great blue eyes and rich red hair, Chris has his own little mermaid. 
We think she made the perfect decision to have a Disney wedding, it suited her well. The ceremony was held in the Boardwalk Pavilion overlooking the water; the pavilion was a pretty canary yellow and surrounded by manicured lawns and flowers. The reception was held at Ariel’s on the Beach Club, we loved this reception space, it was under the sea themed…check it out.

anna + corey- vines botanical gardens – loganville, ga
This post is very special to us. We met Anna & Corey while we were still in school and they were our first consultation!!! Back then, there was no Project Duo. We were just Courtney and Zahra. I actually had a panic attack in the beginning of our meeting!!! (Zahra) BUT, we loosened up as soon as Anna and Corey began talking, they were so warm and inviting and it has been an absolute TREAT to work with them twice. (we shot their engagement and wedding)
We met up with Anna and Corey at the Vines Botanical Gardens in Loganville, Ga. It’s a great location, very secluded and private, which made it very easy for Anna and Corey to let their guards down and allow us to capture the essence of their personalities. We all CLICKED immediately and it felt as if we had known them for years. Check out some of our favorites from their session and I bet you won’t be able to not smile.

Courtney’s Wedding
Courtney is chillaxing on a beach somewhere in Maui as I type. 
I am so jealoussssss, she’ll be there for 2 weeks!!
Courtney’s wedding was so beautiful. I enjoyed the ceremony very much(tear) and all of the the decor took my breath away. There were so many cool things to look at, so much eye candy. I think it was everything Courtney had imagined it to be…thanks to Michelle (of Lemiga Events) & her lovely interns.
I was not the photographer for her wedding because I got to relax and be a GUEST!! YAY! Brenda of Brenda Upton Photography shot the wedding and if you would like to see a few sneak peeks, check out her blog.
I am SO looking forward to Courtney’s post when she returns from her honey moon. Blog you later.

THE PHOTO BOOTH!!
This past weekend we shot Amy & Daniel’s wedding in Greenville, SC. I’m sure you can tell that we had a ball!! We were so jealous of the wedding guests cutting up in the photo booth so we grabbed Amy & Daniel for a quick photo-booth-shoot.
