It is always a blast when we get to work with couples and families that we have worked with in the past at other weddings. When we show up it feels like a reunion to us. We met Lauren and Rj last year when we shot Rj’s sister Brandi’s wedding. They were one of my favorite families that we have worked with and it was such a pleasure to see everybody again. Add to that Lauren’s amazing family and friends, a perfect venue, and an all star vendor team and it was one of our favorite weddings of the year!

It has truly been a pleasure getting to hang out and capture the whole wedding process with Lauren and Rj. From an amazing engagement session in Sumter (complete with Swans that let you get way too close) , to an elegant Bridal session, to this amazing event we can’t thank them enough for letting us come with them on this journey.

Please enjoy some of my favs from the day!

Just as we were headed back across the bridge from some photos at the gazebo it started sprinkling rain. Needless to say we had to stop and take this photo!
