Yes, session(s) is correct 🙂 There was a part 1 and a part 2. Both were complete and total fun!! I even was lucky enough to have one of my previous brides along on both days because she and Sarah are very close friends…and she made sure Sarah’s makeup stayed flawless. A definite bonus! The moment I met Sarah & Collin, I knew we would all have a fabulous time together. They are such an adorable couple! After chatting with Sarah a few times, I decided it was best to split their engagement session into two parts because she wanted to have a part of it at Clemson and part of it downtown Greenville. Thank goodness the weather worked in our favor because Collin was leaving for Chicago to attend dental school right after we had the dates for the shoots on the calendar. While I was waiting for them to arrive at the Clemson stadium, it looked as though it would storm really bad. So I started doing a crazy rain dance in hopes that no one would see. Ok, so I made that up. haha. The clouds parted and left the most amazing puffy clouds with the sun peeking through which was ahhh-mazing! On day two we ran into two couples that were just about to celebrate 50 years together. It was the cutest thing to hear them give advice to Sarah & Collin on how to stay happily married.

Please enjoy a handful of images with the slideshow posted just below them. Thank you Sarah & Collin for making both days so much fun. Collin, I am jealous you are in Chicago but so very excited for you and what lies ahead. It is an incredible city for sure.

Where was my waterproof mascara on this beautifully touching wedding?  Jillian & Garri express their love in so many ways yet say no words.  When they were exchanging their cards and gifts while they stood on opposite sides of the door, my eyes couldn’t help but water…a lot!  I could see and feel their emotion and love for each other.  Jillian made the “I love you” sign around the door and well, that said it all.  This was their big day and Jillian had put a  lot of thought into the details and plans.  The details were plenty, yet just enough to keep the overall look very classy.

The last time I saw Jillian & Garri was when they flew to Greenville to have their engagement session.  This was a perfect time for us to get to know each other and form a bit of a bond before the BIG day.  You will notice in one of the photos where everyone is either holding up their hands and shaking them or twirling a napkin in the air.  This is to applaud Jillian & Garri during special moments at the reception.

I am so honored to have been a part of their special day..so thank you Jillian & Garri.  I wish you both so much happiness.  Your family and friends are wonderful.  Thank you to Katie for all your help as I couldn’t capture all these special moments without you.  Katie did a brilliant job working with the guys while I was off with the girls during the getting ready process.  Please enjoy a handful of images below and the slideshow after the last posted photo.
