I feel so lucky that today I can share with you all my cousin Kay’s engagement session taken up in Greenville, SC. Kay and Jonathan are to be married this Saturday and while I am not photographing her wedding, to her disliking, I did have the privileged of photographing her bridal portrait and engagement session.

While in a perfect world I would of been able to photograph her wedding and mingle with all my family and friends. The reality of it all is that wedding photography is my job and I take it very seriously which means I would have not been able to do both – photograph and mingle. When I am on a job I am completely visually focused and, you can ask any of my assistants, I even sometimes forget words. It’s quite a strange phenomenon I have to admit and my assistants are scrambling to read my mind on what I am asking for…whether it’s a flash, fill card, film….more on this another day.

Next week I will share with you all some selects from her bridal portrait.

Congratulations to Kay and Jonathan!

With all the excitement of the Royal Wedding today, I had to post this sweet photo from one of my recent engagement sessions. The beautiful bride to be was wearing THE Issa Dress, as worn by Kate Middleton during her engagement announcement.
