After postponing their early May wedding due to COVID-19, Devin + Benjamin finally had the celebration of their dreams at the beautiful William Aiken House in downtown Charleston SC. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Devin + Benjamin said “I do!” and kicked off their life together with an amazing celebration. Their day started with a sweet First Look under the pergola and I just loved seeing Ben’s reaction to seeing his bride for the first time. After some portraits together, we met up with their bridal party for group photos – and let me tell you that Devin + Ben have the most amazing group of friends!! Despite the sweltering summer heat, everyone was so easy-going and kind. I would have expected nothing less, considering how fabulous Devin + Ben are. Of course they have an amazing tribe of people supporting them!!
We made the drive out to Kiawah, where Devin + Ben were married in a traditional Catholic ceremony at her grandparent’s church. I think it is so incredibly special that Devin has personal ties to their ceremony location and it was an absolutely beautiful ceremony. Afterwards, we went to Hampton Park for some more portraits. Devin loves the oak trees and Spanish Moss, so of course we needed to get some of those photos!! Cocktail hour followed, where guests enjoyed cocktails on the front lawn and played cornhole while mingling. Dinner was served al fresco as the sunset in Charleston. It was such an amazing day and I’m so honored to have been there to document it all for Devin, Benjamin, and their families! Here are some of my favorites from Devin + Ben’s beautiful late summer wedding at the William Aiken House in downtown Charleston…

Hannah + Matt’s intimate brunch wedding at The Sanctuary on Kiawah was such a special celebration. If there are two things I LOVE, it’s an intimate wedding and brunch! Combine them together and it’s the perfect recipe for a memorable soiree. Can I specialize in brunch weddings? Pretty please?! I just love them! The morning […]

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 […]
