Jess+Derek= Happily Ever After

When I first heard about this engagement I got very excited! I met Jess a couple of years ago when I was doing a photo shoot for her sister Jesstine. We went to downtown Charleston and had a lot of fun that day. After that she had her own photo shoot where we walked around and made some really great images. She just made it so easy to take pictures of her! Needless to say this is why I was so excited about the engagement. It wasn’t excited because I knew they would ask me to take the photos, because I honestly didn’t know. But rather it was because I knew that whoever did, they were going to have the best bride ever to work with.

I met Derek when they were in the beginning stages of the engagement and were looking around for their photographer. He’s a nice laid back kinda guy who just wants to keep his girl happy. Apparently he does an excellent job at. These two are always happy and always helping each other. Isn’t that what marriage is all about? He knew she was the girl for him and she knew he was the guy for her. I couldn’t have been more happy to know that I was able to be a part of this day with them. I got to share in their joys and their families’ happiness. I am EXTREMELY greatful. Thank you both once more for letting me be there Here are a few of my favorite pictures from that day.
