I met Zach and Conner back in September of 2020 for their engagement session at Huntington Beach. A few months later they reached out to me again and asked me to photograph their wedding. I was pretty excited because this couple is just a joy to work with. So easy going!
They were married on February 6th at St. Michael Catholic Church in Garden City and had a small reception at The Holiday Inn in Surfside Beach.
Since relocating to Myrtle Beach from West Virginia over 4 years ago, I've only done a handful of church weddings in the area. As you can imagine, most couples opt for outside weddings at the beautiful venues and beaches we have here.
Zach and I met on match.com while I was in graduate school at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. For our first date, we went to a restaurant called Café 4. I was so nervous, that I almost ran away before he got there! That would have been an awful mistake. He told me later on that he knew I was the one on our first date when he saw that I drove a Nissan Altima. I took a little more time. In fact, I can’t really remember a moment when I knew he was the one. It was a bunch of little things that made me gradually realize that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. A year and half after that first date, Zach proposed while we were on a trip to Arizona. Despite the fact that the proposal was not a surprise at all, I was still ecstatic. We are excited to see where our life together takes us!
