Taryn + Michael’s wedding day was so special. They traveled from Kentucky to say “I do!” at Boone Hall Plantation and it was an amazing day from start to finish. They all started their day out at Wild Dunes Resort, where everyone was staying. They had amazing ocean front villas at the Boardwalk Inn and it honestly felt like we were on vacation shooting out there! As Taryn and her bridesmaids got their hair + makeup done, I got to work styling all of Taryn’s gorgeous bridal details… and they are some of my favorite detail shots to date. Before we knew it, Taryn was stepping into her beautiful lace gown and we headed downtown for their First Look.
After sharing a sweet First Look, we spent some time in downtown Charleston shooting bride + groom portraits… then we headed out to Boone Hall to meet up with their bridal party + family. Everyone was in such great spirits and it was such a fun + relaxed day. Taryn + Mike said “I do!” in an intimate ceremony under the oaks and then spent the rest of the evening celebrating with their closest family and friends. It was amazing to see them surrounded by so much love + laughter all day long. They share a very special love and they are lucky to have so much support from their family + friends. At the end of the night, Taryn + Michael exited through a tunnel of sparklers… a beautiful ending to an amazing day. Here are some of my favorites from Taryn + Mike’s romantic spring wedding at Boone Hall…

When it comes to tipping wedding vendors, there’s often a lot of conflicting information – especially when it comes to tipping photographers. Should you tip them? If so, how much? And who exactly should receive it – the lead photographer or their team? The truth is, while tipping your wedding photographer is never expected, it’s […]

Erin and Buddy’s Ocean Course Kiawah wedding was a day designed to feel calm, unrushed, and genuinely enjoyable for everyone involved, especially the two of them. The morning unfolded slowly, just as they’d planned. No chaos, no overstuffed schedule. Erin and Buddy got ready separately, knowing they had built in what so many couples forget […]

Some wedding days go exactly as planned. Nicole and Thomas’ Boone Hall wedding reminded me why the ones that don’t often stay with you the longest. The morning began bright and full of promise — sunshine filtering through the trees, that unmistakable calm before everything begins. Boone Hall in the summer always feels expansive and […]

Alyssa and Joe’s colorful Magnolia Plantation wedding was the kind of wedding day that I just LOVE photographing – easy, joyful, and beautifully unbothered by expectation. Last summer, they gathered about 50 of their closest family and friends for a brunch celebration that felt more like a garden party than a formal event, and that […]

Sarah and Jake have been together for ten years. That kind of history shows up in subtle ways – in ease, in trust, in the way two people move through a day without needing to perform. Living in New York City, with Jake’s parents based in Charleston, Planters Inn felt like a natural place for […]

Some wedding days are carefully planned. Others unfold exactly the way they’re meant to. Melissa and Eric originally hired me to photograph their elopement closer to home near Lake Wylie. But when Melissa’s father became ill, everything shifted. Plans were paused, priorities reordered, and space was made for what mattered most. When the time felt […]
