From the moment I walked in the front door of the beach house where Caroline + her girls were getting ready, I knew it was going to be an amazing day. Caroline greeted me with the warmest hug. So did her mom. All of the girls were pretty much done with their hair + makeup and things were running so smoothly… and it was a GORGEOUS spring day, to boot! Weddings can be stressful and they can bring out the worst in people. But Caroline + Zach’s wedding was the exact opposite! Everyone was so kind, gracious, and fun… serving families like theirs is a true honor and it makes me so thankful for this job. It’s weddings like this that make me fall in love with wedding photography over and over again!
Caroline + Zach opted to go the traditional route and didn’t see each other until the ceremony. Zach watched in awe as Caroline walked down the aisle on the arm of her father. It was a beautiful moment. Their ceremony was beautiful, spiritual, and personal – everything a ceremony should be. After they said “I do!”, we spent the entire cocktail hour taking photos before they were introduced at the Cotton Dock as husband + wife. Caroline’s cousin sang their first dance song and they partied with their guests all night long. At the end of the night, they exited through a tunnel of sparklers – the perfect ending to a dream wedding day. Here are some of my favorites from Caroline + Zach’s gorgeous spring wedding at Boone Hall Plantation…

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 […]
2023 was definitely one of the best years yet for my business. I had the honor of working with so many fabulous couples, in so many fabulous locations… including Spain, Italy, and Hawaii! I feel extremely lucky that I was able to experience such a tremendous year of growth and travel. Here are some of […]
This colorful winter wedding at Sea Pines Resort was the perfect way to start 2024. On one of the coldest days of the year, Caitlyn + Mark said “I do!” on the iconic 18th lawn at Harbourtown Links, overlooking the Calibogue Sound. Surrounded by their closest family + friends, their day was everything that Caitlyn […]
