Emily + Chad were originally supposed to get married earlier this spring, but they were one of many couples who were forced to postpone due to COVID. Fast forward 2 1/2 months later and their celebration was absolutely EVERYTHING!! With Hurricane Isaias closing in on the area – 2020 amiright?!? – the weather was actually beyond beautiful as Emily + Chad said “I do!” and danced the night away with their closest family and friends.
We started the day off with a sweet First Look and portraits at The Sanctuary Hotel, then headed out to the Ocean Course to meet up with everyone else. The girls looked so pretty in their blush pink dresses and the guys looked so handsome in their blue suits. Add in some colorful florals and it was the perfect summer color palette – so fitting for an oceanfront wedding!
Emily + Chad said “I do!” in a beautiful ceremony overlooking the golf course and ocean, then spent the rest of the evening celebrating with their friends + family. At the end of the night, the exited through a tunnel of streamers… the perfect ending to an amazing day. Their wedding was my first “full” wedding back since March and it felt SO GOOD to feel normal again!! I’ve missed my amazing clients and joy-filled days so much!! Here are some of my favorites from Emily + Chad’s beautiful summer wedding at Kiawah Ocean Course…

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.

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 […]
