I absolutely LOVE shooting at the Gadsden House. It is definitely one of my favorite venues in Charleston and Elena + John’s wedding celebration was one for the books. I loved working with them + their families, documenting each sweet moment throughout the day. Their wedding day started with a beautiful First Look at the College of Charleston Cistern Yard, followed by portraits + bridal party photos in the same picturesque location. The bridal party looked stunning, with the ladies in a mix of pink, taupe, peach + mauve shades and the men in light grey suits. Elena did a fabulous job coordinating everyone and it was the perfect color palette for their early spring soiree.
Elena + John said “I do” in front of a boxwood flower wall at the Gadsden House, then celebrated their commitment with their closest family + friends. Their open air reception was so much fun and everyone has a great time. At the end of the night, Elena + John exited through a tunnel of sparklers… the perfect ending to their wedding day. Here are some of my favorites from their garden-inspired Charleston wedding at the Gadsden House…

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 […]
When I first started second shooting in 2011, I’ll admit… I had NO IDEA what I was doing. I was pretty good with my camera, technically. I could shoot in manual mode and had some understanding of flash. However, I wasn’t entirely sure of my role as a second shooter and had no idea exactly […]
