On the morning of Nina + Brett’s wedding, some springtime rain passed through the area, leaving Nina even more anxious about the day than she already was. Luckily, Mother Nature decided to play nice and the skies cleared right before their First Look… thank you, Mother Nature!!! From that point on, the day was GORGEOUS with blue skies, a gentle breeze, and a few scattered clouds… the ideal weather for a March wedding in Charleston!
After their First Look, we wandered the beautifully manicured gardens of Middleton Place together – stopping among the colorful azalea blooms for a ton of bride + groom portraits. Nina + Brett wrote each other private, personal vows, which they read together before the ceremony. Their bridal party joined us for group photos and before long, they were saying “I do!” in front of all of their family + friends under the majestic oak in the Octagonal Garden. Guests enjoyed cocktail hour in the adjacent Sundial Garden, while we took a carriage ride around the property to grab some final sunset photos before their celebration began.
Nina + Brett’s wedding was the very first wedding to take place in the newly renovated Pavilion at Middleton Place! The new venue is STUNNING and I absolutely loved their design, created by Candice of Ooh! Events. After a delicious seated dinner, Nina + Brett danced the night away with their guests… and at the end of the night, they exited through a tunnel of sparklers. Here are some of my favorites from Nina + Brett’s gorgeous Middleton Place 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 […]
