Let me start off by saying that I absolutely ADORE Katie + Michael. Their relationship and love is something that everyone should aspire to have in their lives. They speak so highly of each other, even when they are apart from each other, and they are both so grateful for each other – which is something that I’ve learned is SO important in a relationship. I was just in awe of them all day. It was absolutely magical to watch them together.
Katie + Michael have been together for 13 years now. Yup – 13 years!! They’ve been through so much together, so this day was a long time coming. Katie + Michael started their day with a sweet First Look. As Katie stepped out of my car and saw Michael’s back turned towards her, she started to cry. She said to me “I am just so excited to marry this man!” and I could honestly feel her excitement deep in my soul. These two are bonafide soulmates. As soon as they saw each other, everything else disappeared. They were in their own little world of happiness and it was a joy to witness!
After some portraits downtown, we swung by Michael’s old apartment on Rutledge Avenue to take some photos out front. This was a special place for them and I loved that we were able to take some photos somewhere so meaningful to them. Before long, Katie + Michael were reciting their vows in front of their family + friends at St Luke’s Chapel and then their celebration continued over at the Charleston Harbor Resort. The dancefloor was PACKED all night… their friends + family really know how to party!! At the end of the night, Katie + Michael exited through a tunnel of sparklers and hopped onto a golf cart. It was amazing! Here are some of my favorites from Katie + Michael’s Charleston 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.

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.

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.

Elizabeth wanted […]
