This wedding is a special one and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better start to 2021! Kicking off a new year with Kiersten + Kyle was EXACTLY what I needed after a crazy, stressful 2020. Even though the radar looked ominous most of the day, Mother Nature really did us a solid and graced us with GORGEOUS overcast skies and only a few rain showers here and there.
Weather aside, Kiersten + Kyle’s wedding day was everything I knew it would be… beautiful, elegant, full of joy + laughter, and an absolutely EPIC celebration of their love! They decided not to do a First Look and I absolutely loved Kyle’s reaction when Kiersten came down the aisle with her dad. Kiersten + Kyle said “I do!” in a beautiful ceremony and the rain stopped just in time for their bridal party photos and portrait time! The light was SO GOOD and I am obsessed with all of their photos overlooking the Stono River! The celebration kicked into high gear and let me just tell you… these guys know how to party! I always love photographing the dance floor and this was one of my favorite dance parties to date!
I couldn’t imagine ringing in the New Year with any other couple and I am truly blessed to have such amazing clients. If this wedding is any indication of how 2021 is going to go, I am SO EXCITED to see what the rest of the year brings. So without further ado, here are some of my favorites from Kiersten + Kyle’s stunning winter wedding at The Island House…

When Katie first told me about her wedding day vision – a classic brunch wedding overlooking the water at the iconic Ocean Course on Kiawah Island – I knew it was going to be such a beautiful celebration. There really isn’t anything like a Kiawah Island wedding! A custom Modern Trousseau ball gown, topped with […]
I met up with Dawn + Joey in February for their beautiful engagement session here in Charleston. They brought their two beautiful pups, Willow + Cricket, along for part of the session… and boy, did they have a blast at Hampton Park?!? I am totally OBSESSED with the photos of them walking together (below) because […]
Audra + Rahul’s beautiful traditional Indian wedding in Charleston was definitely one for the books. I absolutely LOVE everything about South Asian/Indian weddings… the colors, the attire, the music, the food, the traditions, the rituals, the family element, the dancing. There really is nothing like it and if I could specialize in shooting only South […]
From the very first time I spoke with Martha Camille, I knew that her Boone Hall wedding was going to be EPIC. I also knew that she was going to be a dream client for me – and she absolutely was! I love all of my couples, but it’s so extra special when someone has […]
When Martha Camille told me that she wanted to recreate her mother’s studio bridal portraits, I’ll admit… I was a little hesitant. I’ve never done studio bridal portraits before and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to bring her vision to life. As a creative, I love doing things that are outside of […]
2023 was definitely one of the best years yet for my business. I had the honor of working with so many fabulous couples, in so many fabulous locations… including Spain, Italy, and Hawaii! I feel extremely lucky that I was able to experience such a tremendous year of growth and travel. Here are some of […]
