I’m a hopeless romantic at heart. And spending over 100 days a year shooting grad photos on the Texas Christian University campus, I’m always a sucker for a good Horned Frog Love Story.

In this week’s edition of Monday Magic, I interview Kate Dye, a Charleston-based wedding photographer and educator who firmly believes (and I agree with her!) that in today’s world, pretty images aren’t enough.
