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…

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 […]
