Melissa + Michael’s wedding day was supposed to be a wash out. All week long, the forecast said 100% chance of rain + thunderstorms. So when the sun decided to grace us with it’s presence that day, we were all thanking Mother Nature for cooperating… and thanking the local meteorologists for being wrong!! It turned out to be the most beautiful late spring day for Melissa + Michael to say “I do!” with their guests and I’m so glad it was a dry one because they deserved to have amazing weather for their wedding day.
Melissa + Michael shared a beautiful First Look near the Carriage House, then took a little walk and explored the property with us before meeting up with their bridal party for photos. Everyone was in a great mood and it was so much fun to spend time with them and their bridal party! Melissa + Michael said “I do!” beneath the oaks and then danced the night away with their family + friends. It was a pretty epic dance party. I’m pretty sure Melissa + Michael never left the dance floor the entire night!! At the end of the evening, Melissa + Michael exited through a tunnel of sparklers before heading to their afterparty downtown. Here are some of my favorite images from Melissa + Michael’s beautiful rustic Magnolia Plantation wedding…

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! Their celebration started with a beautiful rehearsal dinner at the Peachtree Club, overlooking the city. It was so great to meet all of their VIP’s the […]
I first met Tori back in 2016 when I photographed her older sister Kiersten’s wedding. Little did I know then that I would go on to photograph their sister Chelsea’s wedding in 2021 – and finally Tori’s wedding in 2024! 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 […]
