The entire week leading up to Kaitlyn + Paul’s wedding day, the forecast didn’t look good. All sunshiny days on the calendar except for their day – the percentage of storm chances ranging anywhere from 50-80%. When I emailed Kaitlyn to ask her about a rain plan, her response was resolute: It’s not going to rain. And it didn’t!! In true Charleston weather fashion, the skies cleared and there wasn’t even a speck of rain on their fabulous day!
We started off with a sweet First Look along the Avenue of Oaks at Boone Hall Plantation and then we were joined by their beloved pit bull, Turner, who was the perfect gentleman! Their bridal party arrived to join in on the fun and before we knew it, we were all on our way downtown for their traditional ceremony at Second Presbyterian Church. Afterwards, everyone headed back to Boone Hall Plantation for their gorgeous reception overlooking Horlbeck Creek at the Cotton Dock. As the sun set, Kaitlyn + Paul shared their First Dance as husband + wife, then danced the night away with their closest friends + family. Their band was AMAZING and at the end of the night, the newlyweds exited through a tunnel of sparklers. Here are some of my favorites from Kaitlyn + Paul’s rustic Southern wedding at Boone Hall…

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 […]
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 […]
