WELCOME to the MCSWEEN photography BLOG

I love this Rosemary Beach engagement editorial. I met my dear friends Kate and Tara in Rosemary Beach for a fun girl’s trip. We decided to pull together a little editorial while we were there in our efforts to expand to a 30A Wedding Photographer. And oh the results are magical. First Rosemary Beach, Florida […]

When I used to think of backyard weddings, luxury is not something that came to mind. However, wait until you see this one, it is amazing. Shannon and Phil married a few weeks ago on a mild summer day in July. And when I say it was mild, a mere 82 degrees made for the […]

One of the prettiest places I have ever laid eyes on. Harry and I arrived in New York a day before Shannon and Phil’s Long Island wedding. Making a pit stop in Oyster Bay at the florist shop we decided we should look since their Planting Fields Arboretum Wedding portraits would be there the next […]

Okay if I can say one thing about Serenbe it would be quaint. Everywhere you look is another nook to take gorgeous photos. We met Cassidy and Dalton for their Engagement Session at Serenbe a few weeks ago. We had a great time wandering around Serenbe. Starting with Cassidy and Dalton at a cute boardwalk […]

There are nooks and crannies all over the Southeastern United States that are just picture perfect. Serenbe GA is one of those magical places. We love visiting Serenbe GA and think it’s a hidden gem just outside of Atlanta. Starting at the Inn at Serenbe and strolling the gravel roads will lead you through pastures […]

A few weeks ago I was in Rosemary Beach. One of the things I love to do when I am in a new location is to meander around the streets early in the morning. While meandering I love to capture the quiet streets with my film camera. I love to see scenes that are without […]

Let’s chat for a second about Charlotte, North Carolina. We went a few weeks ago for a Charlotte NC Freedom Park Engagement session. We brought the kids because we were taking them to their grandparents the next day. But they had a blast staying overnight in a fun hotel, and swimming in the pool. But […]

Now this Wedding at Hawkesdene Estate full of love and color is one of our favorite summer weddings! We love that Abby and Daniel filled their day with color! From the florals to Abby’s Madewell dancing shoes. After a few months of higher-stress weddings with a lot of logistics, Abby and Daniel’s day was a […]

Drive down Main Street in Highlands past the town library. Keep going for a mile and you’ll drop rather dramatically off of the Highlands Plateau. For almost a thousand feet along a tightly winding road, you travel and when the road finally levels out, you’re in Horse Cove. I think Horse Cove in Highlands, North […]

We absolutely loved capturing Jackie and Daniel’s wedding welcome party. Surrounding them were their family and friends who came in for their Skyline Lodge Wedding. A gentle breeze blowing through the North Carolina mountains made for a very pleasant evening. Jackie and Daniel’s guests gathered under the pavilion at Skyline Lodge. Beautiful and delicious Hors […]
