Visiting Greenville

For those of you that follow us on Instagram and know us personally, you know that on Sunday we drove up to Greenville, South Carolina. Now some of you may think we are crazy, driving 11 hours to a place we’ve never visited and staying with people we only knew through social media and emails. But let me explain. Vic and I met Ryan and Alyssa through Instagram. We followed each other, liked and commented on almost every picture, and we just connected. We cannot explain it, but we connected with them in a way we haven’t connected with other photographers. We aren’t sure how it happened or what led up to it, but we began emailing back and forth with the prospects of finally meeting in person. Before we knew it, Vic and I were driving to South Carolina to meet our new friends. They opened their home to us and showed us some good old fashion Southern hospitality. We cannot thank them enough for being so wonderful and accommodating with us. We have only been here for 3 days and we have already developed a friendship and have had some of the most meaningful conversations with them. They just get us! They took us around downtown Greenville on Monday and we visited Charleston yesterday. And of course, with all 4 of us being photographers, we took lots and lots of pictures! We can’t wait to share some more images with you throughout this week and next week, but for now here are some from our time in Downtown Greenville!

They are so stinkin’ cute! Ryan was really excited abut being our tour guide haha! This is their downtown area, I mean seriously?!?! Downtown Greenville is built around this river that runs through most of the city. Ryan and Alyssa took us to Blueberry Frog, a delicious frozen yogurt place!
Alyssa and I totally had a moment and it looks like Ryan was just trying to show us his muscles!
An absolute favorite!!! We love them so much!!! They call her the bag lady!
We had to take a selfie with this gorgeous background!
We have had SO much fun these past few days and lots and lots of laughs! We are so grateful that God allowed us to connect with Ryan and Alyssa the way we have! We love our new friends!!

Happy Wednesday friends!
