{Guest Blog} by Heather & Steve

The holiday’s are over and I am settling back into my ‘normal’ life… back in my ways… back to routines… back to… wait… who am I kidding! I dont have a normal life! OR a routine! Everyday is different and crazy!!

BUT, one thing I do have is ANOTHER {GUEST BLOG}! Remember Heather & Steve?  Read their post about the day of their wedding and the relationship we developed!

…..

Our wedding was October 3, 2009 at Magnolia Plantation for the ceremony and High Cotton for the reception dinner.

Tomme Hilton was our photographer and she was no less than amazing in every way. We had never met prior to the actual wedding, because we live in Raleigh, NC and she is based out of the Charleston area. Our wedding planner recommended her to us after knowing the style we were looking for. We wanted romantic, sweet, fun, different, and also some traditional in the mix. Tomme Hilton is all of the above and more.

We kept in touch threw out the whole time before the wedding and felt very comfortable after seeing her beautiful work on her websites and facebook page. Tomme was very professional and was great about getting back to us with any questions or concerns we had along the way. I had commented on various photos on her facebook page that we really liked and she made a note of all of them to apply to our day. We were very impressed on the day of our wedding, because it was a scorcher that day. It was so hot and sticky, but she took control of the situation getting in all the various shots that we wanted plus so many more amazing ones. Tomme is a bright, bubbly, funny, artistic photographer with so many ideas and visions. We felt so comfortable with her the whole day. My husband does not like taking pictures and so we do not get that many together that he actually likes, but we had so many to choose from.

Tomme had various photos back to us to get a sneak peek just a few days after the wedding. It was such a surprise and we were so happy. The actual photo disk was back to us way faster than we expected and we were so happy to be able to share with our family during Christmas. We are so glad to know Tomme as a person and not just the photographer. She is just a great person to know and work with and we feel so blessed that we had her as our photographer for our big day. We will for sure be using her for maternity photos down the line and anything else that way come up.

Heather and Steve

Hello once again and welcome to the blog. This weeks feature guests are Heather and Steve.  A gorgeous couple whom planned their wedding from North Carolina in between living their normal lives. They had help from Katie DePoppe from RSVP events and planning and the day went off without a hitch thanks to impeccable planning. The reception was done beautifully by High Cotton. The mosquitos were taking a break at the mosquito lounge, and the stars aligning in our favor. I couldn’t be happier the mosquitos were cashing in on dollar bloody mary’s at the lounge instead of infiltrating our day. That was a big relief! I wished they ran that special more often.  Anyone who has ever tackled our state bird on any given swampy evening knows exactly what that is such a breath of fresh air when they decide to cut us a break.

Girl after my own heart. PINK!! That color never gets old to me.. Instantly makes me ten shades of happier whenever I see it.

Now, look at Heather in all her gorgeousNESS. I’m sure that isn’t an official word.. but I’m pretty certain it should be.

And she thought ahead of time to put something on the bottom of her shoes. I love that.

I don’t know much in terms of folklore, but since these things live only a matter of hours.. or so I’ve read. I would have to say it’s pretty FAB this ended up in their wedding images. Pretty magical if you ask me.

I like this because you can see her cascading over the bridge behind him.. I’m sure he was antsy with excitement to see her – you can see the underlying expression even though he is holding it together rather better than most. He didn’t even peak.

I’m finding it hard to keep this under a few images. They had quite a few really good shots but I’m trying to find the more unique ones to their wedding.

Sweet little ride that someone gifted them. I think I was lucky to end up w a crock pot as a gift when I got married.

Congratulations Heather and Steve. I’ve made great friends in the process of sharing their day with them. That makes for a perfect situation.

Until Next Time.

xoxo
