Amy + Jake’s waterfront Charleston wedding at Lowndes Grove was the perfect reflection of them as a couple: elegant, classy, and glamorous. The ladies of Pure Luxe Bride took Amy’s vision and brought it to life with a beautiful design and amazing florals by Branch Design Studio. They had such fun details including Amy’s stunning illusion lace gown with an extended train, her bright blue Manolos, Jake’s colorful bowtie + tiger striped shoes, a custom monogram on their outdoor bar, and a classic color palette of black, white, green, gold + varying shades of pink. The entire day was pure joy and I had so much fun spending time with Amy, Jake, their adorable baby Kennedy, and their closest family + friends.
We started their day downtown with a First Look off-site, since Amy + Jake really wanted to have some portraits together in historic Charleston. We found some INCREDIBLE spots for portraits and they are honestly some of my all-time favorites! After portraits downtown, we headed back to Lowndes Grove for bridal party photos and before we knew it, they were saying “I do” in a beautiful ceremony overlooking the Ashley River. Sunset was AMAZING and we grabbed some more portraits on the dock before the party got under way. The dance floor was packed all night and everyone had an absolute blast! At the end of the night, Amy + Jake exited through a tunnel of sparklers and hopped in the car to head off to their after party. It was the perfect ending to a dream wedding day! Here are some of my favorites from Amy + Jake’s stunning Charleston wedding at Lowndes Grove…

When Katie first told me about her wedding day vision – a classic brunch wedding overlooking the water at the iconic Ocean Course on Kiawah Island – I knew it was going to be such a beautiful celebration. There really isn’t anything like a Kiawah Island wedding! A custom Modern Trousseau ball gown, topped with […]
I met up with Dawn + Joey in February for their beautiful engagement session here in Charleston. They brought their two beautiful pups, Willow + Cricket, along for part of the session… and boy, did they have a blast at Hampton Park?!? I am totally OBSESSED with the photos of them walking together (below) because […]
Audra + Rahul’s beautiful traditional Indian wedding in Charleston was definitely one for the books. I absolutely LOVE everything about South Asian/Indian weddings… the colors, the attire, the music, the food, the traditions, the rituals, the family element, the dancing. There really is nothing like it and if I could specialize in shooting only South […]
From the very first time I spoke with Martha Camille, I knew that her Boone Hall wedding was going to be EPIC. I also knew that she was going to be a dream client for me – and she absolutely was! I love all of my couples, but it’s so extra special when someone has […]
When Martha Camille told me that she wanted to recreate her mother’s studio bridal portraits, I’ll admit… I was a little hesitant. I’ve never done studio bridal portraits before and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to bring her vision to life. As a creative, I love doing things that are outside of […]
