Just after the Labor Day weekend last September, I met up with Katie at the William Aiken House for her bridal portrait session. She was originally supposed to get married last October, but Mother Nature had other plans… she was one of the many brides impacted by Hurricane Matthew. After a stressful week of weather-watching, Katie + her fiance Scott decided they would postpone their wedding in favor of getting married in May 2017. Although I was already booked on their rescheduled wedding date, associate photographer Emily was able to be there with them on their wedding day and I can’t wait to share the photos from their amazing wedding day.
However, I was still lucky enough to do both their engagement session and Katie’s bridal portraits… and this bridal portrait session is my very favorite bridal portrait session EVER!!! It’s been SO HARD to keep these gorgeous photos under wraps for the past 9 months!!! From the moment Katie stepped into her beautiful silk + lace gown, her radiant smile didn’t stop. She looked so elegant + chic… the epitome of a modern southern bride! After shooting at the William Aiken House, we drove over to Lowndes Grove for some quick photos under the oaks… and it was the perfect finale to this amazing bridal portrait session. Here are some of my favorites from Katie’s downtown Charleston bridal portraits…

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 […]
