Just after the Labor Day weekend last September, I met up with Katie at the William Aiken House for her bridal portrait session. She was originally supposed to get married last October, but Mother Nature had other plans… she was one of the many brides impacted by Hurricane Matthew. After a stressful week of weather-watching, Katie + her fiance Scott decided they would postpone their wedding in favor of getting married in May 2017. Although I was already booked on their rescheduled wedding date, associate photographer Emily was able to be there with them on their wedding day and I can’t wait to share the photos from their amazing wedding day.
However, I was still lucky enough to do both their engagement session and Katie’s bridal portraits… and this bridal portrait session is my very favorite bridal portrait session EVER!!! It’s been SO HARD to keep these gorgeous photos under wraps for the past 9 months!!! From the moment Katie stepped into her beautiful silk + lace gown, her radiant smile didn’t stop. She looked so elegant + chic… the epitome of a modern southern bride! After shooting at the William Aiken House, we drove over to Lowndes Grove for some quick photos under the oaks… and it was the perfect finale to this amazing bridal portrait session. Here are some of my favorites from Katie’s downtown Charleston bridal portraits…

Payton + Connor’s rainy celebration at Lowndes Grove was the PERFECT way to close out the 2024 wedding season.

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 […]
