On a cold, windy day this past January, we hauled out to the beautiful Rosebank Plantation on Wadamalaw Island for a very cool photo shoot with Southern Living magazine. Working with food editor Scott Jones, we spent the day shooting an oyster roast with friends, hosted by Mike. We had a blast trying to stay somewhat warm with cold Peroni's and a steamy fire, and the oysters, straight from Crosby's dock, were amazing. A big thanks to our friends the Sinklers for providing such a picturesque spot and all the golf carts, props and snacks we needed to get through the day! Look for the story in the February 2011 issue!
