Once upon a time, I met Nick. And on Nick’s birthday, I met his best friend Nate. <3

Nick’s family is full of wonderful, amazing people. His grandparents greet you like long lost friends, his mom has treated me like one of her own since the day we met. His sister is a professional acrobat. His cousin looks like he just stepped off the pages of GQ, but is also one of the kindest people you’ll meet. You get the picture!

When Nick’s Uncle Ron asked us to photograph his wedding, we jumped at the chance! Uncle Ron and Carol were married at Pawley’s Island in South Carolina, where this was the view from the porch of their beach house. Their wedding was so incredibly intimate and emotional, with maybe only 10 people in attendance. We even got to watch Ron and his friends build the arbor! Everything was just perfect.

Dan not only escorted Carol down the aisle, but helped her pick out that incredible dress.

Carol and Ron, we wish y’all the absolute best. <3
