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…

Taylor and Hutch’s wedding at the Pavilion at Patriots Point was colorful, stylish, and filled with so much personality. From the unexpected color palette and playful animal-print details to the incredible sailcloth tent overlooking Charleston Harbor, every part of the day felt distinctly them. Their palette mixed rich shades of brown with lilac, chartreuse, soft […]

There’s something incredibly special about celebrating a wedding at home – especially when that home is one you’ve only just begun making your own. Molly and Erik had recently purchased their home on James Island, and instead of planning a large, traditional wedding, they invited their immediate families and closest friends to join them there […]

There was an ease to Allyson and Brian’s wedding day that made it such a joy to photograph. From the moment I arrived at The Ocean Course on Kiawah Island, everything felt relaxed, intentional, and centered on what mattered most: celebrating their marriage with the people they love. No overcomplicated timeline, no unnecessary stress – […]

After three years of being engaged and originally planning a much larger wedding, Allison and Jake decided to take a different path. Instead of a big celebration, they chose an intimate wedding day centered around what mattered most to them: each other and the people they love most. With just 19 guests in attendance – […]

When a place has been woven into your family’s traditions for years, there’s something especially meaningful about beginning your marriage there. For Addison, Kiawah Island has been a beloved part of life since childhood. So when it came time to choose a wedding location, bringing family and friends together on the island where so many […]

Charleston weather likes to keep everyone on their toes, but even by Lowcountry standards, Caroline and Cody’s wedding day was memorable. Rain fell for most of the day – a rarity in Charleston, especially when it seems determined to stick around from morning until ceremony time. Yet through every forecast update, timeline adjustment, and weather-related […]
