I’m not going to lie. The forecast leading up to Alex + Mike’s wedding day had me slightly anxious about their wedding day. During the entire week leading up to their big day, they were calling for rain – and I was preparing myself for a wet wedding day. To our surprise, the rain held off for most of Alex + Mike’s wedding day and my good luck streak for weather continues on! We started their day with a sweet First Look in downtown Charleston, followed by portraits in the French Quarter district of town. Then, we headed to Lowndes Grove for more photos of the two of them before their bridal party + family joined in for group photos. Rain quickly moved through the area before the ceremony, but it cleared up just in time for their waterfront ceremony overlooking the Ashley River. As thunder rumbled in the distance, Alex + Mike said “I do!” in front of their closest family + friends… it was a ceremony that I’m sure everyone will remember!
Their reception space was absolutely beautiful thanks to the ladies of CiBi Events and Branch Design Studio. Guests enjoyed various stations of lowcountry favorites while Trotline Band kept the dance floor packed all night. At the end of the evening, Alex + Mike exited through a tunnel of sparklers and hopped into their getaway car. It was an amazing day, for sure. Here are some of my favorites from this beautiful summer Lowndes Grove wedding…

I love it when my couples opt to do an engagement session with me before their wedding day. While it’s by no means necessary, I always really love getting to know my couples before the wedding day – and I also love being able to take some epic photos of them during this special time […]
From the very first time I spoke with Caroline, I knew that her wedding day was going to be so special. With just their immediate families in attendance, Caroline + Kevin’s day was centered around family – and they wanted to begin their life together surrounded by the people who love them the most in […]
Lauren + Matt are the embodiment of pure, unfiltered JOY. The way these two look at each other. The way they smile from ear to ear when they are next to each other. Absolute, contagious, electric joy. I truly feel so lucky to have been in the presence of their love. It’s a love that […]
In May, I headed to Atlanta for Lynsey + Tyler’s romantic wedding at Summerour Studio. I knew their wedding weekend was going to be special and it absolutely was! Their celebration started with a beautiful rehearsal dinner at the Peachtree Club, overlooking the city. It was so great to meet all of their VIP’s the […]
I first met Tori back in 2016 when I photographed her older sister Kiersten’s wedding.

Legacy clients are so special and the Stolen family means so much to me. They […]
When I first spoke to Elizabeth last June, I knew that her wedding day was going to be something special. She spoke about getting married in her hometown of Beaufort SC – first, a sweet ceremony at her local church, followed by a tented waterfront celebration filled with bright colors and palm accents. Elizabeth wanted […]
