Associate photographer Emily had the honor of photographing Kate + Stephen’s epic wedding last weekend. Why was it so epic, you ask? Well, for starters, they threw one of the largest weddings we’ve ever photographed with roughly 350 guests AND they had the largest bridal party we’ve ever photographed… 14 bridesmaids + 21 groomsmen!!! On top of that, they had Quiana Parler perform at their reception and she’s just the best of the best. I’m actually quite jealous that Emily got to cover this wedding instead of me because I LOOOOOOVE Quiana!!!
Their day started with a sweet First Look at Christ Church, followed by bridal party + family photos before their traditional ceremony. Everyone traveled from the church to The Cedar Room at the Cigar Factory, where they celebration went strong well into the night. The dance floor was so packed that Emily had to shoot most of the reception from the stage with the band!! The bride + groom crowd surfed, everyone had a blast, and at the end of the night, Kate + Stephen exited through a tunnel of sparklers before hopping into a pedi-cab. It was a truly EPIC wedding day!! Here are some of my favorites from Kate + Stephen’s wedding day…

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 […]
