Driving into St. Simon's Island was like entering another world. Massive live oaks with elliptical leaves, Spanish moss leisurely swinging in the hot Southern wind. GRACEFUL. Almost nostalgic. Scent of ocean reminded me of my home town in Japan. And there was this sense of time slowing down...This place is like a fairytale, so perfect for beautiful Lisa and her prince, Colton.

 As the melody of "A Thousand Years" spread on the lush green lawn, my chest tightened to see Colton's tender expression as he watched his nervous bride walked down the isle. So moving, remembering this moment made me tear up many times as I edited their photos!

What an honor to be able to witness and capture such significant moments for Lisa and Colton. I am so grateful...

Beautiful Lisa and her prince, Colton

Surrounded by their family and close friends, Lisa and Colton tied the knot overlooking the beach by The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort. A butterfly came to add a magical touch to their sand ceremony.

Butterfly came to bless their bliss :)

And lots of fun at their relaxed reception!!
