I can’t say it enough, Valerie and Hristos are so wonderful!  From the first minutes of our time together during their Engagement Session, I was smitten!!  They laugh so easily together and were so much fun to be with.  For Valerie’s bridal portrait in Charleston, I got to meet more of her amazing family and friends.  Starting their day, I was beyond excited to be with ALL of them!  When we arrived to Valerie’s house everyone was bustling around getting hair and make up done!

When Valerie and I first started talking about their wedding day she described a vision that was so rich with tradition, covered in beautiful details and filled with their community.  To say their vision was fulfilled is an understatement!!  Even with the wind forcing us to use other outdoor areas for their portraits, I’m so pleased to play a part in completing their wedding dreams!

I’m so thankful Valerie and Hristos welcomed me into their lives for this special time!  It has been such a pleasure serving them through their wedding experience!  I can’t wait to tell their story through their Heirloom Album!!

Valerie, you are gorgeous!!

Valerie’s brother James, such a shy guy.  We had to work hard on him to come out of his shell for pictures 😉

That “I’m so glad we didn’t faint” look.

The wind was C R A Z Y for portraits, but lets all just take a moment to enjoy these next two images.  I did color and black and white because I’m in love with both and they needed their own moment on the blog!
