Emma + Justin’s wedding day was one that I’ll never forget. Unseasonably cold temperatures, intermittent rain, and a howling wind threw a wrench into their wedding day plans, but I’d venture to say that these things made their wedding day that much more memorable! After their First Look outside of The Dewberry hotel, we zipped through bride + groom portraits at warp speed. It was seriously the fastest I’ve ever shot portraits and I’m totally impressed with how much we were able to accomplish in 10-15 minutes!! Their bridal party joined us outside for group photos and then we called it a day in terms of trying to shoot outside. It was just too cold and miserable!!
Emma + Justin said “I do” in a small lobby outside of the ballroom and it was absolutely PERFECT. Ann with Purple Magnolia Floral created an AMAZING floral wall and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house as Emma + Justin said their vows. Cocktail hour took place in The Living Room, the funky hotel bar, and before long guests were ushered into the ballroom for the reception. Everyone was having so much fun celebrating these two fabulous people and it was so beautiful to see them surrounded by so much love on such an amazing day. Here are some of my favorites from Emma + Justin’s downtown Charleston wedding at The Dewberry…

When Katie first told me about her wedding day vision – a classic brunch wedding overlooking the water at the iconic Ocean Course on Kiawah Island – I knew it was going to be such a beautiful celebration. There really isn’t anything like a Kiawah Island wedding! A custom Modern Trousseau ball gown, topped with […]
I met up with Dawn + Joey in February for their beautiful engagement session here in Charleston. They brought their two beautiful pups, Willow + Cricket, along for part of the session… and boy, did they have a blast at Hampton Park?!? I am totally OBSESSED with the photos of them walking together (below) because […]
Audra + Rahul’s beautiful traditional Indian wedding in Charleston was definitely one for the books. I absolutely LOVE everything about South Asian/Indian weddings… the colors, the attire, the music, the food, the traditions, the rituals, the family element, the dancing. There really is nothing like it and if I could specialize in shooting only South […]
From the very first time I spoke with Martha Camille, I knew that her Boone Hall wedding was going to be EPIC. I also knew that she was going to be a dream client for me – and she absolutely was! I love all of my couples, but it’s so extra special when someone has […]
When Martha Camille told me that she wanted to recreate her mother’s studio bridal portraits, I’ll admit… I was a little hesitant. I’ve never done studio bridal portraits before and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to bring her vision to life. As a creative, I love doing things that are outside of […]
2023 was definitely one of the best years yet for my business. I had the honor of working with so many fabulous couples, in so many fabulous locations… including Spain, Italy, and Hawaii!
