Welcome to the new Champagne & Pearl blog! We recently moved to Savannah, Georgia, and this wedding photographer is excited to start a new journey and share it with anyone interested in reading. The blog has been in the works for months, as I’m not the best, nor the creative writer. So you can imagine, it’s such a relief to finally launch! Now that the hard part is over, it’s full throttle ahead.

A stereotype of a blog would be a place someone types about daily life and releases opinions on whatever topic comes to mind. The point of this blog isn’t so much based on my opinion. It will feature various engagement sessions and weddings, while also letting you into my personal world of travel and growing a photography business. Savannah is such a beautiful place to be a wedding photographer. Sometimes I could pinch myself. The posts I share inevitably also function as a time capsule of my own experiences to look back on one day!

What you’ll discover in my content…

When it comes to personal, I’ve never been exceedingly open on social media. It always rubbed me the wrong way when viewing others on social media who over-share about every aspect of their day. That’s just not me! However, I love to explore while trying new things. So that is the perfect part of my life to let everyone into! You can expect personal posts about myself or the lovable shamus, my passion of interior design, and creating things. I think most importantly though, the travel adventures! The personal category can include anything else that’s not photography related.

In some ways, photography isn’t only about the art. It’s also about the business. This includes how photographers work for our clients on the back end, as well as being a legal and tax-paying business. Since I believe in community over competition, you can expect me to view some informational blog posts aimed at helping other aspiring photographers too! All of those resources will be available under the blog’s “business” category.

Right now is such an exciting time and offers tremendous hope for the future! Please take a look around and stay for awhile. Ask questions and interact with a post to build our little Champagne & Pearl community!
