Kristine + Ryan pulled off the ultimate surprise wedding last Monday and it was incredible. They invited Kristine’s parents and Ryan’s sister (and her family) to join them in Charleston for Thanksgiving. When everyone arrived, Kristine + Ryan told them the real reason they were all in Charleston… for their wedding!! Needless to say, everyone was so excited and two days after the big reveal to their families, Kristine + Ryan got married!!
Kristine + Ryan chose the Unitarian Church in downtown Charleston for their ceremony because they fell in love with its beautiful ornate ceiling. They recited personal vows to each other during their sweet ceremony before heading out to Middleton Place for their beautiful garden reception. Kristine + Ryan shared their First Dance together as husband + wife, cut their cake, and then spent the afternoon celebrating with their families. I’m so honored to have been a part of their incredible day!! Here are some of my favorites from Kristine + Ryan’s intimate surprise elopement in Charleston…

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 […]
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 […]
I met up with Nicole + Thomas last summer for their engagement session out on Folly Beach. They found me through another one of my couples, whose wedding I photographed at Sea Pines last winter, and I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their Charleston wedding! I loved spending the evening with them […]
