In the days leading up to Lindsay + Adam’s wedding day, we were both watching the weather closely. With rain in the forecast, we made the decision to do their First Look and portraits early in the morning – which ended up being the best decision ever! Our timing was pretty much perfect, because as soon as we got to our cars after portraits, it started to rain… and then it continued to rain for the rest of the day.
We knew we would need to figure out a rain plan for their ceremony. Our original plan for Hampton Park just wouldn’t work well in the rain. I reached out to Linda at the Thomas Bennett House and she absolutely saved the day. I am SO grateful to her for allowing Lindsay, Adam, and their 15 wedding guests to use their front porch for their ceremony at the very last minute. We utilized chairs from inside the house and put together a makeshift ceremony site… and I think it was pure perfection! As the rain fell, Lindsay + Adam said “I do!” surrounded by their closest family + friends. It was so romantic and so beautiful… I’m just so happy it all worked out for us!!
Linda, I cannot thank you enough for saving the day and making me look like a hero. You are absolutely wonderful for allowing us to use the porch at the very last minute. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Here are some of my favorites from Lindsay + Adam’s sweet rainy day elopement…

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. 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 […]
