Congrats to Mariko and Chris Beckham! Let me start by saying that Mariko is a dear friend of mine, whom I've known around 10 years. It was SO much fun seeing, hanging out, dancing, and of course taking pictures with tons of friends I don't see too often! The day started at the beautiful Sheraton in downtown Columbia. The bridal suite was gorgeous, and had beautiful natural light. The girls were pampered by the talented Victoria Gibson. After the girls got done we headed to St Andrews Lutheran Church for the ceremony. They put their finishing touches on, and were ready just in the knick of time! I loved Mariko's unique dress choice from Vintage Bridals in Augusta, especially the beautiful sleeves. We took formal portraits at the church before heading to 1208 Washington for the big party!
This was my first wedding at 1208 Washington Place, and I had been dying to shoot there! A friend and colleague of mine, Dee Lucas, helped decorate the venue and it was majestic. Also a special thanks to Megan and Thomas for all of their hard work planning and decorating. The cake was gorgeous, and especially tasty. Cameron from Big Time DJ's provided the DJ and lighting services, which not only kept the floor packed, but added an awesome flavor to the decor. There were some especially emotional moments, such as their daughter Maliyah's dance with Chris and her lovely speech. It literally had a few tears in my eye. We snuck out of the reception for some beautiful portraits of the newlyweds, utilizing the awesome downtown setting and the infamous vaults. Of course, almost every passing car gave the newlyweds a congratulatory honk!
We ended the night with a fun last dance, and then a snow exit provided by Big Time. While the weather was on the warmer side for January, it was so awesome to finish this winter wedding with my first ever snow exit. I can't wait to share the highlight film in the coming months. The love and friendship was so real, and so evident to everyone who knows them - which really shines through in the pictures. Enjoy!

In the history of the NFL, few redemption arcs have been as dramatic—or as swift—as Saquon Barkley's. One year, he was the star running back the New York Giants couldn't bring themselves to pay. The next, he was hoisting the Lombardi Trophy with the hated rival Philadelphia Eagles, holding his daughter as confetti rained down, and etching his name into the record books as the most prolific single-season rusher the league has ever seen.

To write about Chelsea Football Club is to trace the arc of modern football itself—a story of tradition abruptly intersecting with transformative wealth, leading to a relentless, often tumultuous, ascent to the summit of the game. Founded in 1905 in the affluent West London borough of Stamford Bridge, Chelsea long carried the air of the glamorous underachiever: a club with a famous home, a charismatic and celebrity-filled support, but a trophy cabinet that belied its stature. For decades, its identity was one of stylish flair and sporadic cup success, punctuated by the flamboyant sides of the 1960s and 70s. This all changed irrevocably on July 1, 2003, a date that marks the clearest "before and after" moment in football club…

Educational frameworks often rely on classifications to communicate achievement levels. The idea behind hons meaning is to show that a degree has been completed with a higher standard of performance. It may involve more demanding coursework or stricter grading systems. This distinction is recognized in many academic environments.
