Some weddings stay with us long after the day is over, and Laura & Bobby’s wedding at The Cotton Press in Little Mountain, South Carolina was one of those. With rich fall florals, warm hues, and an emotional first look, their day was a perfect mix of laid-back joy and sentimental moments.






When we hopped on our pre-wedding consultation call with Laura & Bobby, Laura open to a first look but hadn’t made up her mind. Bobby, on the other hand, really wanted one. Looking back, we’re so glad they decided to go for it—because it goes down as one of our favorite first looks we’ve ever photographed. The moment Bobby turned around to see Laura, emotions took over. The love, and joy they shared was unforgettable.










And for those who worry that a first look takes away from the reaction during the ceremony? Not with these two! Bobby’s reaction to Laura walking down the aisle was just as emotional, proving that a first look doesn’t take away from that special moment—it only adds to it.





Laura & Bobby are the kind of couple who radiate warmth and authenticity. Their wedding was a perfect reflection of their easygoing personalities, with bridesmaids in fall-hued dresses and florals in deep, autumnal tones. The Cotton Press, with its industrial charm and cozy atmosphere, was the perfect setting for their celebration.
Throughout the day, we focused on capturing their love story with a documentary and editorial approach—letting the natural moments unfold while also creating stunning, timeless portraits that they’ll cherish forever.















As a husband & wife photography team, we love being part of days like this—where love takes center stage, and every moment is filled with genuine emotion. Laura & Bobby, thank you for letting us document your incredible day.

So let's tell it right.
We're not here to make you fit a mold.
We're here to break it with you.
I'm Samantha, the dreamer behind the lens, the one asking "but how did that make you feel?" and probably overthinking your photo timeline (in the best way). I'm driven by the process: the storytelling, the editing, and that magical energy that happens when people feel safe enough to be themselves.
Brady's my other half in life and in business, the people person who makes friends with your entire wedding party and catches those in-between shots no one else saw. While I'm crafting the vision, he's reading the room and making sure everyone feels at ease.
