On the morning of Nina + Brett’s wedding, some springtime rain passed through the area, leaving Nina even more anxious about the day than she already was. Luckily, Mother Nature decided to play nice and the skies cleared right before their First Look… thank you, Mother Nature!!! From that point on, the day was GORGEOUS with blue skies, a gentle breeze, and a few scattered clouds… the ideal weather for a March wedding in Charleston!
After their First Look, we wandered the beautifully manicured gardens of Middleton Place together – stopping among the colorful azalea blooms for a ton of bride + groom portraits. Nina + Brett wrote each other private, personal vows, which they read together before the ceremony. Their bridal party joined us for group photos and before long, they were saying “I do!” in front of all of their family + friends under the majestic oak in the Octagonal Garden. Guests enjoyed cocktail hour in the adjacent Sundial Garden, while we took a carriage ride around the property to grab some final sunset photos before their celebration began.
Nina + Brett’s wedding was the very first wedding to take place in the newly renovated Pavilion at Middleton Place! The new venue is STUNNING and I absolutely loved their design, created by Candice of Ooh! Events. After a delicious seated dinner, Nina + Brett danced the night away with their guests… and at the end of the night, they exited through a tunnel of sparklers. Here are some of my favorites from Nina + Brett’s gorgeous Middleton Place wedding…

Hilton Head is a special place to Abby + Greyson, as Abby’s parents live there and she’s been visiting the area for years. I always love how the magic of Hilton Head and Sea Pines brings families together on such an incredible day. This September wedding day at Sea Pines started off with torrential rain […]
Somehow, it’s already February and I just realized that I haven’t posted my year-end recap from 2024. Yikes! Better late than never, I suppose! If I’m being totally honest and transparent, 2024 was a difficult year for me + my mindset. Self-doubt, not knowing where I “fit in”, feeling jealousy of other photographers, and not […]
I met up with Nicole + Thomas last summer for their engagement session out on Folly Beach. They found me through another one of my couples, whose wedding I photographed at Sea Pines last winter, and I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their Charleston wedding! I loved spending the evening with them […]
Dawn + Joey’s classic coastal summer wedding at Dataw Island Club was truly one that I will never forget. Every single detail was so thoughtfully curated and it was such an honor to be a part of their full wedding weekend. From their cozy rehearsal dinner the night before, to their epic celebration on the […]
I love it when my couples opt to do an engagement session with me before their wedding day. While it’s by no means necessary, I always really love getting to know my couples before the wedding day – and I also love being able to take some epic photos of them during this special time […]
From the very first time I spoke with Caroline, I knew that her wedding day was going to be so special. With just their immediate families in attendance, Caroline + Kevin’s day was centered around family – and they wanted to begin their life together surrounded by the people who love them the most in […]
