Sammy + Mario are two of the most fun people I’ve ever met. These two were MADE for each other and I just loved being around them and their fabulous friends + family all day!! I mean, they made it so easy and I truly felt like I was part of the family with them. It’s always so wonderful when I connect with my clients like that. It’s what I love most about my job as a wedding photographer!
Sammy + Mario’s wedding day started with a sweet First Look at Lowndes Grove. Before long, their amazing bridal party join us for photos and wow… let’s just say that Sammy + Mario have a LOT of friends! I mean, it’s easy to see why! I had so much fun with all of them and watching them all celebrate together. Sammy + Mario said “I do!” overlooking the Ashley River in a BEAUTIFUL ceremony officiated by Daniel Northrup, husband of wedding planner/florist Andraya and seventh grade boyfriend of Sammy! Their ceremony was legitimately one of the BEST ceremonies I’ve ever heard… Daniel truly has a way with words. So so good!
Guests dined on a variety of lowcountry fare before dancing the night away with the newlyweds. Cocky, the USC mascot, even joined in the fun and I’m pretty sure the bride + groom were on the dance floor ALL NIGHT!! It was a fabulous celebration for Sammy + Mario and I’m so excited to share the photos from their amazing day. Here are some of my favorites from Sammy + Mario’s southern boho-inspired wedding at Lowndes Grove in Charleston…

Ashley + Kyle’s wedding day was, in a word, magic. These two share such a beautiful love and I am beyond thankful to have witnessed it first hand. Ashley is pure JOY in human form and she absolutely glows in Kyle’s presence. The way they look at each other and care for each other is […]
From the moment I first spoke to Sandra, I knew her wedding day was going to be something special. She had a clear vision of a day filled with special details, personalized moments, and a celebration of love that was truly unique to her and Matt’s love story. Being in the fashion world, I knew […]
There’s something undeniably magical about Charleston SC. The cobblestone alleyways, the historic charm, and the gentle breeze off of the water – which creates the perfect setting for love to flourish. When I had the opportunity to capture Hannah + Ashley’s engagement session on an overcast day this past September, I knew it would be […]
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 […]
