I met Ashley & Andrew for the first time on their wedding day, and since then I have called them “friends.” I got to spend a little time with them in Folly Beach near Charleston a few weeks ago and decided to snap a few pics of these incredible human beings.
A few years ago, I put a call out for an intern. After many emails from wonderful candidates, I received an application from someone in the form of a scrapbook. Inside were photos, beautifully written words… and heart. When I closed that book, I just knew this was someone I wanted to have in my life. After coming all the way from Wauchula, Florida to Charlotte, North Carolina (where we were living at the time), Courtney spent three months shooting and working with me in my home office. She not only went over and above anything I asked of her, she loved on my family, and by the end of it all… became my family.
When I heard she fell in love and got engaged, I was over the moon excited to know that I would be seeing her again and meeting this love of her life. Dan & Courtney came to spend a weekend with us in Chicago, so we walked around the North Shore and downtown Chicago area getting photos of these two amazing people. Their love, affection, and respect for each other was so apparent, it’s hard to imagine these two ever being apart.
I cannot wait to photograph their Wauchula wedding this November.
I love that composition with the shadows in the frame! 
Beautifully natural series as always X
