i’ve been working around the clock to get this up and running for all my recent shoots!!

please update your bookmarks and rss feed to www.tracyturpenblog.com and meet me on the other side….

would you believe i had two shoots in a row with couples who are high school sweethearts?   yup- katy and ariel met in high school and still laugh together as if they are 16 and newly dating.  i love that.   i had so much fun getting to know them last week and am really looking forward to their wedding in december . their love is so evident and was wonderful to witness.  i’m really happy with the series of photos we took-  happy viewing :)

the very last frame of the night…love it!  thanks for an amazing time guys.  see you again soon!

just thought i’d update everyone with a few photos of baby evan- he is growing so fast! already a whopping 14 pounds :)

emma being cute as usual with mr. evan

my sister came to charleston on her fall break to see her nephew and get a tan….

i don’t think she expected the baby spit up though! haha.

the cuteness never stops with these three….

out for a walk in the baby carrier

my best attempt at a picture that included both evan and myself

look at those deep baby blues!

allen and melinda are high school sweethearts who met in the ninth grade…they have been together over 10  years!  they have an epic wedding planned for next may and i’m so honored to be a part of it.  we met up last week to begin their e-session at the james island county park and they were seriously up for anything! allen had the most hilarious sense of humor and melinda was so friendly and easy going - definitely my kind of couple.

meet allen and melinda:

love the red hair.
love the blues and greens.
love love love.

as you can see i wasn’t kidding about being up for anything!  melinda and allen jumped off the boardwalk we were on and into the mushy marsh…the result?  awesome muddy feet!

all clean :)

they didn’t hesitate to climb effortlessly up this tree either…

i will repeat…love the red hair. love the blues and greens :)

favorites :)

melinda looked especially cute leaning against this tree so i had to grab a photo of just her

thanks for an amazing time guys!  can’t wait for next may…

ana and eric’s wedding on kiawah island was so so pretty.  i love outdoor weddings- especially this time of year.

i started out with some getting ready photos at the sasanqua spa- ana was so calm and collected.  i was impressed!

i loved these fans that ana and eric provided for all the guests

the ceremony was held at the river course overlooking the beautiful marsh

this is one of my favorite parts of the wedding to capture….brand new newlyweds!!

what a starry night!  the reception was held inside the beautiful kiawah island club

congratulations ana and eric!!

attention clients or the newly engaged:  right now is a great time to schedule your engagement session. the weather is beautiful and not too hot or cold right now.  give me a call or email if you’d like to set something up…i’m feeling extra inspired this time of year!

susan and alex’s wedding is coming up this month and i can’t wait!  we met up last week at the blue bicycle books store to begin their engagement session.  alex and susan were in great spirits and brought along plenty of props and ideas with them- which i absolutely LOVE!  couples out there- if there is something you love doing together don’t hesitate to mention it for your engagement session!  the most off beat places usually make for the most unique photos.  anyway- check out the hotness of susan and alex!

thanks for such a fun afternoon and evening guys!  see you soon :)
