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…

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 […]
