Mother Nature sure didn’t make things easy for us on Gabrielle + Cole’s wedding day! Storms threatened the area ALL DAY LONG and there were at least 3-4 heavy downpours throughout the day. Gabrielle, Cole, and their families handled it with such grace… we made the best of it and I am thrilled with what we captured!!
After a pretty strong storm swept through the area, Gabrielle + Cole shared their first look on the porch of the clubhouse. It’s always my favorite part of the day and I could immediately see the relief flow through them once they saw each other. We quickly jumped in the car and went over to Spring Island where we stumbled upon the most beautiful field of wild flowers. Gabrielle + Cole didn’t skip a beat when I asked them if they’d be willing to stand in the middle of it… ants, mud, and all. Rain continued to sprinkle as we headed back to the clubhouse, but by the time their bridal party joined us for photos, it was dry again! THANK YOU MOTHER NATURE!!
Storms threatened the area the rest of the afternoon, but we waited it out and their ceremony was GORGEOUS!! The floral arch, the flowers down the aisle, and a fun petal toss at the end… my flower-loving heart was in heaven! After the ceremony, we jumped in the car again to get some photos on the water… and while we were shooting, the skies opened! Gabrielle + Cole had the BEST attitude and rolled with it. I love love love the photo of them on the dock in the rain. So romantic!!
The rest of the night was a blur. Lots of dancing, lots of laughter, so much love. At the end of the night, Gabrielle + Cole exited through a tunnel of confetti. It was an absolutely amazing day that I’m so honored to have been a part of. Here are some of my favorites from their beautiful spring wedding at Callawassie Island…

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 […]
