Jacqueline + Matthew’s wedding day was absolutely fabulous. From the moment I arrived at their rental home on IOP where the girls were getting ready, I knew I was in for a real treat. Everyone was so kind, so welcoming, and just so excited… it just made the day even more amazing, being surrounded by such love. Jacqueline + Matthew opted to go the traditional route and did not see each other before the ceremony. As Jacqueline walked down the aisle with her father, Matthew’s emotions were evident and it was just so sweet to document.
After a beautiful ceremony under the oaks, we took the combined group photos and spent the rest of cocktail hour creating some of my very favorite bride + groom portraits EVER around the property. These two were complete naturals in front of the camera and I absolutely adore their portraits!! Jacqueline changed into a second gown before the reception so that she could celebrate all night long with their family + friends. The dance floor was packed throughout the night and everyone had an amazing time celebrating the newlyweds. At the end of the night, Jacqueline + Matthew exited through a tunnel of sparklers and hopped into a vintage car. It was an incredible day and I’m so honored to have been the one chosen to document every moment for them. Here are some of my favorites from Jacqueline + Matthew’s gorgeous Boone Hall wedding…

Alyssa and Joe’s colorful Magnolia Plantation wedding was the kind of wedding day that I just LOVE photographing – easy, joyful, and beautifully unbothered by expectation. Last summer, they gathered about 50 of their closest family and friends for a brunch celebration that felt more like a garden party than a formal event, and that […]
Sarah and Jake have been together for ten years. That kind of history shows up in subtle ways – in ease, in trust, in the way two people move through a day without needing to perform. Living in New York City, with Jake’s parents based in Charleston, Planters Inn felt like a natural place for […]
Some wedding days are carefully planned. Others unfold exactly the way they’re meant to. Melissa and Eric originally hired me to photograph their elopement closer to home near Lake Wylie. But when Melissa’s father became ill, everything shifted. Plans were paused, priorities reordered, and space was made for what mattered most. When the time felt […]
There’s something about being near the water that instantly slows everything down. Jordan and Greg were married at the Cottages at Charleston Harbor, and their wedding day unfolded with the kind of ease that can only be felt. An al fresco, tented celebration by the harbor, layered with soft light, movement, and color, it was […]
Sarah + Steven’s wedding day began quietly, in the best way. Beautiful light filtered into the girls’ getting ready suite at The Omni Hilton Head, where Sarah was getting ready – not alone, but alongside two very important people — Steve’s daughters, Lana and Leah. Joined also by her mother and sister, they laughed, helped, […]
This year FLEW by! I feel like I blinked and we’re just 3 days away from the New Year. It’s been a quick one, but it’s also been a great one. Personally, I’ve grown by leaps and bounds. Creatively, I’m rediscovering myself. 2025 was a year for getting back to my roots and undoing some […]
