“A few weeks ago, I met Paige and her aunt at Furman University for her bridal portraits. Of course, getting to this session wasn’t easy, as we had to move the date around a time or two because of all the rainy weather the southeast had been experiencing. Looking back on it, I’m thankful for all of the rain…the gardens and trees were so beautiful, and everything was beginning to blossom. I hope you enjoy this small glimpse of Paige’s bridals…”

A group of guys would often come home with Cameron on the weekends. Collin was one of them. Our friendship started off pretty slow if I remember correctly. Collin was quiet and I was the one who was loud & outgoing. Needless to say, it took him a little bit to warm up to me. Once he warmed up to me, I told him I was sick of calling him by his last name so I called him, ‘Spon.’ Then, our friendship flourished. I enjoyed his presence. I would plan my weekends to hangout with him. Then, I found myself visiting him during the week at the…”
Read More"I moved to Chicago from the UK in February 2014. I didn’t really know anyone here, and so I thought it’d be fun to join ‘OK Cupid’ to see if someone might take pity and show me around. I’d never tried a dating website before, and didn’t have high expectations. I trawled through endless numbers of profiles before finding Fahlyn, who on paper seemed like the perfect match. And here we are, married after the best 5 years of my life. We met in a Tiki bar that sold cocktails from extravagant containers ranging from treasure chests, to octopuses and sea shells. It was great fun, and I was excited by how well we got on. Other dates involved bribing staff at a bowling alley, stuffing our faces with anything but British food, laughing until it hurt at comedy shows, and naming animals at the zoo…”

Ernie was performing some of his raps, and though Cecilia thought he was completely corny, she admired his courage to perform in front of strangers. For their first date, on October 25th, Ernie and Cecilia went to see Evil Dead The Musical in Charlotte…”

I was in the Charlotte airport on a layover from Phoenix, and as the boarding process began, I saw the back of a brunette boy’s head. Right away I thought myself, “Oh my gosh. That’s him!” I was so nervous and thinking of all ways possible to avoid having to talk to him. I resorted to the ‘putting on headphones with no music playing’ trick, hoping that would work, but it didn’t. While walking on the plane, all of a sudden I felt someone grab my thigh (we still laugh at how awkward this was) and stop me. I acted surprised to see him and said a quick “hi and bye.” Once we landed in Greenville, I headed…”
Read More“Chris and Amber met during their sophomore year of college at the University of South Carolina. Chris grew up in Raleigh, NC and Amber grew up in Greenville, SC. They started out as next door neighbors, which turned into close friends, which eventually turned into a date night at their favorite burger joint during the fall of their senior year. Dating quickly turned into a long distance relationship between Charleston, SC and Atlanta, GA while Amber was in physical therapy school and Chris started his first sales role after graduating from USC. Fast-forward 3 years and they were finally in the same place again as Amber made the big move to ATL after earning her doctorate. Two years (and two dogs) later, on a Saturday in September as they casually walked the streets in Savannah, he surprised her with a very important…”
