The Happy Bloom Information

“Growing up Southern is a privilege, really. It’s more than where you’re born, it’s an idea and state of mind that seems imparted at birth. It's more than loving fried chicken, sweet tea, football, beer, bourbon and country music. It’s being hospitable, devoted to front porches, magnolias, moon pies and coca-cola, and each other. We don’t become Southern, we’re born that way.” -Anonymous We’re Justin + Amanda! Husband and wife. Photographer and assistant. Film enthusiast and great cook. West Elm and Crate & Barrel. But more importantly, best friends. We do not just love the South. We breathe the South. We love pecan pie. We love sweet tea. We love dreamy Spanish moss dripping from giant oaks. We love a sweet hello you receive from a stranger on a Sunday morning as your cross Bay Street headed to your favorite brunch spot. The South itself has helped shape our company (and our lives) into what it is today: A Southern wedding company for the Southern couple. We take moments. Not photos. What is fine art photography, you ask? It’s a style of photography that emphasizes emotion. We pride ourselves in slowing down a wedding day and focusing on this emotion. We take our time. We watch carefully. We wait for it. We wait for that one special moment. Wait for it. Wait. Almost. There. The way that your husband glanced at you. The way your mom put her hand to her lips as you slip on your dress. The way that your grandmother wiped a tear from her eye as you walk down the aisle. Those are the moments we wait for. Those are the moments that you want to remember.
