McKenna + Matt’s wedding day was truly incredible. From start to finish, everything fell perfectly into place – probably because McKenna is so detail-oriented and organized. She truly is a bride after my own heart! All of her bridal details were stunning and she actually planned her wedding day around photography… which is always a dream come true for me! It paid off BIG TIME with one of my very favorite First Looks EVER and the most amazing bride + groom portraits taken all around beautiful Magnolia Plantation!
We started the day just up the road at the Inn at Middleton Place. Once everyone was ready, McKenna + Matt headed to Magnolia Plantation for their First Look in one of the most beautiful gardens. It was so sweet and STUNNING!! One of my all-time favorites for sure. After their First Look, we took some time to explore the plantation together. These two are just so natural in front of the camera!! I didn’t think it could get much better after their portraits, but then their bridal party arrived for photos and everyone looked SO GOOD!! I mean, seriously… McKenna + Matt did a fabulous job with their wedding design. Everything from the colors to the florals to the decor… it was perfect! Elegant, romantic, classic. Just like them!
They said “I do!” beneath a live oak overlooking the Ashley River before celebrating with their closest family + friends. Both McKenna + Matt were on the dance floor all night – it was the ultimate dance party!! At the end of the night, Matt + McKenna exited through a tunnel of sparklers and jumped into their fabulous getaway car… the perfect ending to the perfect day. Here are some of my favorites from McKenna + Matt’s beautiful wedding at Magnolia Plantation…

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 […]
