Kiera + Brian’s wedding day was absolutely incredible. From beginning to end, it was such a special day and I am so honored to have been a part of it. Last fall, I visited them in their hometown of NYC for their engagement session – that, in and of itself, was a dream come true – and it felt like no time had passed when I saw them both on their wedding day. I just adore Kiera + Brian. They are two of the nicest people and I’m so glad that they were able to have the wedding day of their dreams in beautiful Charleston.
After a beautiful intimate ceremony at nearby St Luke’s Chapel, which was officiated by Brian’s father, everyone headed out to beautiful Lowndes Grove Plantation for the reception. The ladies of Pure Luxe Bride brought Kiera’s vision of a classic, elegant garden-inspired celebration to life with gorgeous florals by Branch Design Studio, plenty of candles, gorgeous vintage plates, and one of my favorite wedding cakes EVER!! I loved their color palette of light blue paired with pops of bright pink, orange, peach, blush and cream. It was absolutely perfect!
Stephen of Darby Events kept the dance floor packed all night and the newlyweds exited through a glowing tunnel of sparklers at the end of the night. Here are some of my favorites from Kiera + Brian’s gorgeous Lowndes Grove wedding…

Hannah + Matt’s intimate brunch wedding at The Sanctuary on Kiawah was such a special celebration. If there are two things I LOVE, it’s an intimate wedding and brunch!

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 […]
