One of our favorite photographers and vendor friends, Kendra Martin joins us. For her, photography is not about just taking pretty pictures. It's about the friendships and relationships that happen. It's about loving on her clients and using the gift that God has given her. It's about capturing and freezing moments in time that can't be relived, but they can be looked back on for years and generations to come. Photography is one of her greatest loves and being able to share it with others is something she truly treasures and doesn't take for granted.
Some of Kendra's favorite things include...
Jesus, my family, making memories, a good book, the coast, sweet tea, j.crew, guacamole, exercising, netflix, a cup of coffee in the morning quiet, sunrises & sunsets, fall, shopping from home in my pj's, a great red wine blend, good conversation.
Katherine and Justin Owings are a husband and wife team. Each part of their process is intentionally selected for a reason that brings the heart behind your special day to life. In a world where nothing is perfect, they like to think having the right equipment, the right editing tools, and the right touch can produce memories which you will hold onto for years to come. Weddings are full of love and excitement that happens only once in your lifetime (hopefully!) and is the BEST day of your life.
Their goal is to catch candid moments of ALL details of your special day: the flowers, center-pieces, decorations, the family and friends, the groom's face when he first sees his bride, the intimacy, love, emotion, excitement and joy that would otherwise fleet in a moments time. These are the moments that will make you FEEL and every bride and groom deserve to be able to experience and relive those moments for years to come and it is their true desire to deliver this to you!

Collectively, they have only been in the wedding industry in Upstate South Carolina for handful of years, but they are quickly making their mark.
