Texas residents Kristen + James chose Charleston for their destination wedding because of Kristen’s ties to South Carolina and their shared love of the architecture + history that makes it so charming. They fell in love with the porches at Old Wide Awake Plantation, which ended up being the perfect spot for them to say “I do!” and celebrate with their closest family + friends. Their day started with a sweet First Look at the park, followed by photos with their bridal party at the main house. The guys looked oh-so-dapper in navy suits + cowboy boots, while the girls glammed it up with champagne sequined gowns. The bright, colorful florals were the icing on the cake… and speaking of cake, their gold foil semi-naked cake was a showstopper! Guests dined on traditional lowcountry favorites like shrimp + grits and macaroni + cheese… then they danced the night away before sending Kristen + James off through a tunnel of sparklers. It was a beautiful day and I’m so honored that I was able to document it all for them. Here are some of my favorites from Kristen + James’ beautiful Old Wide Awake wedding…

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 […]

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 […]
