Alyssa + Conor’s wedding day at Magnolia Plantation was absolutely amazing. I knew that Alyssa + her mother had put a lot of thought and effort into the design and logistics of the day, but when I saw it all come to life it was better than I ever could’ve imagined. Luckily, Tropical Storm Bonnie moved out of the area earlier that morning and it actually didn’t rain at all once things got going. Alyssa + Conor shared a beautiful First Look in Flowerdale garden, followed by some portraits together before meeting up with their bridal party. Guests started to arrive and excitement started to build… before we knew it, Alyssa + Conor were saying their vows to each other under an amazing huppah that was covered in flowers and featured her grandfather’s tallit draped overhead. This was an extremely special element of the day, as this specific tallit was smuggled out of Austria as her grandfather escaped the Nazis and it was also used when Alyssa + her brother were bar and bat mitzvahed. So sweet.
One of my favorite details from the day came in the form of dessert. Not only did they have beautiful hand-painted macaroons customized with their initials + their wedding parties names… but they also had cookies made in the image of their 3 beloved cats! SO CUTE!!!
Following cocktail hour, Alyssa + Conor shared their First Dance in front of the main house at Magnolia Plantation as their guests held sparklers around them. I LOVED this unique idea to incorporate sparklers earlier in the day! Guests enjoyed delicious southern fare before the party really got started with the Hora! I love this fun tradition because it really gets everyone out on the dance floor. All in all, it was a spectacular day and I couldn’t be more excited for Alyssa + Conor. Here are some of my favorites from their beautiful wedding at the Veranda at Magnolia Plantation…

There’s something undeniably magical about Charleston SC. The cobblestone alleyways, the historic charm, and the gentle breeze off of the water – which creates the perfect setting for love to flourish. When I had the opportunity to capture Hannah + Ashley’s engagement session on an overcast day this past September, I knew it would be […]
Hilton Head is a special place to Abby + Greyson, as Abby’s parents live there and she’s been visiting the area for years. I always love how the magic of Hilton Head and Sea Pines brings families together on such an incredible day. This September wedding day at Sea Pines started off with torrential rain […]
Somehow, it’s already February and I just realized that I haven’t posted my year-end recap from 2024. Yikes! Better late than never, I suppose! If I’m being totally honest and transparent, 2024 was a difficult year for me + my mindset. Self-doubt, not knowing where I “fit in”, feeling jealousy of other photographers, and not […]
I met up with Nicole + Thomas last summer for their engagement session out on Folly Beach. They found me through another one of my couples, whose wedding I photographed at Sea Pines last winter, and I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their Charleston wedding! I loved spending the evening with them […]
Dawn + Joey’s classic coastal summer wedding at Dataw Island Club was truly one that I will never forget. Every single detail was so thoughtfully curated and it was such an honor to be a part of their full wedding weekend. From their cozy rehearsal dinner the night before, to their epic celebration on the […]
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 […]
