Kiawah Island Wedding Photography: Christine and Mike

Christine and Mike’s intimate wedding at the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island was a photographer’s dream.

Charlotte Portrait Photography: Kelley and Her "Kids"

Kelley first contacted us in November to get some photos with her “kids,” English Bulldogs Lily, Lucas and Brutus.
