Mid-February weather in Charleston can be pretty dicey. Traditionally, February is the coldest month and it’s usually the slowest month for weddings in town. Lucky for Lauren + Andrew, their mid-February wedding day was UNBELIEVABLE!! Slightly overcast, a light breeze, and 80+ degrees outside… say what?! It’s true. I’m fairly certain that we were all sweating at some point during the day. It was incredible and I’m so happy that they had the BEST wedding day weather you could ask for in February!
Their day started with a sweet First Look, followed by bride + groom portraits in the Ansonborough neighborhood of downtown Charleston. Lauren’s beloved dog and official Mutt of Honor, Murphy, joined them for photos and he was just so handsome in his Crew LaLa bowtie collar. Before long, Lauren + Andrew were saying their vows in a beautiful ceremony officiated by their friend, Lauren. Surrounded only by their immediate families and best friends, they said “I do!” in style in a beautiful intimate elopement orchestrated by the ladies of Pure Luxe Bride. Before heading downtown for dinner, the couple cut their wedding cake and toasted to a life of love and happiness together. It was such an honor to document such an amazing day for Lauren, Andrew, and their families. Here are some of my favorites from their AMAZING wedding day!

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 […]
