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…

Bridal portraits offer a rare pause in the wedding season – a moment to step away from timelines and celebrations and focus entirely on the bride herself. Bri’s bridal portrait session took place at a private residence in downtown Charleston, and the setting could not have been more perfect. Rich teal walls, layered textures, patterned […]

Some wedding days just feel easy in the best possible way – not because nothing is happening, but because everything unfolds exactly as it should, surrounded by the people who matter most. Dana and Hayden’s celebration at Cannon Green was exactly that kind of day. The morning began at their home here in Charleston, a […]

Taylor and Clay’s wedding at the The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort felt like a natural extension of who they are – thoughtful, intentional, and deeply rooted in what they love most. Traveling to South Carolina from central Missouri, the two share a connection that’s been shaped in many ways by the game […]

Ava and Alex’s wedding day felt like the perfect blend of classic elegance and genuine, unfiltered joy – the kind of celebration where every moment feels light, meaningful, and deeply felt all at once. The two now call Greenville home, and their season leading up to the wedding was a full one. Ava just graduated […]

Tucked into the heart of historic downtown Charleston, Bri and Brett’s wedding felt less like an event and more like being invited into something deeply personal. Hosted at a private residence South of Broad – a home Bri knows well, as she manages the property for the owners – the setting carried a level of […]

Kendal and Alec’s wedding day at Sea Pines Resort felt relaxed, joyful, and beautifully personal from beginning to end. With close family and friends gathered on Hilton Head Island, their celebration was intentionally small – the kind of wedding where every guest feels deeply connected to the couple and the reason everyone is there. While […]
