McKenna + Matt’s wedding day was truly incredible. From start to finish, everything fell perfectly into place – probably because McKenna is so detail-oriented and organized. She truly is a bride after my own heart! All of her bridal details were stunning and she actually planned her wedding day around photography… which is always a dream come true for me! It paid off BIG TIME with one of my very favorite First Looks EVER and the most amazing bride + groom portraits taken all around beautiful Magnolia Plantation!
We started the day just up the road at the Inn at Middleton Place. Once everyone was ready, McKenna + Matt headed to Magnolia Plantation for their First Look in one of the most beautiful gardens. It was so sweet and STUNNING!! One of my all-time favorites for sure. After their First Look, we took some time to explore the plantation together. These two are just so natural in front of the camera!! I didn’t think it could get much better after their portraits, but then their bridal party arrived for photos and everyone looked SO GOOD!! I mean, seriously… McKenna + Matt did a fabulous job with their wedding design. Everything from the colors to the florals to the decor… it was perfect! Elegant, romantic, classic. Just like them!
They said “I do!” beneath a live oak overlooking the Ashley River before celebrating with their closest family + friends. Both McKenna + Matt were on the dance floor all night – it was the ultimate dance party!! At the end of the night, Matt + McKenna exited through a tunnel of sparklers and jumped into their fabulous getaway car… the perfect ending to the perfect day. Here are some of my favorites from McKenna + Matt’s beautiful wedding at Magnolia Plantation…

I love it when my couples opt to do an engagement session with me before their wedding day. While it’s by no means necessary, I always really love getting to know my couples before the wedding day – and I also love being able to take some epic photos of them during this special time […]
From the very first time I spoke with Caroline, I knew that her wedding day was going to be so special. With just their immediate families in attendance, Caroline + Kevin’s day was centered around family – and they wanted to begin their life together surrounded by the people who love them the most in […]
Lauren + Matt are the embodiment of pure, unfiltered JOY. The way these two look at each other. The way they smile from ear to ear when they are next to each other. Absolute, contagious, electric joy. I truly feel so lucky to have been in the presence of their love. It’s a love that […]
In May, I headed to Atlanta for Lynsey + Tyler’s romantic wedding at Summerour Studio. I knew their wedding weekend was going to be special and it absolutely was!

I first met Tori back in 2016 when I photographed her older sister Kiersten’s wedding.

Legacy clients are so special and the Stolen family means so much to me. They […]
When I first spoke to Elizabeth last June, I knew that her wedding day was going to be something special. She spoke about getting married in her hometown of Beaufort SC – first, a sweet ceremony at her local church, followed by a tented waterfront celebration filled with bright colors and palm accents. Elizabeth wanted […]
