I met Inali + Leon way back in 2019 when they traveled from Charlotte to Charleston for their engagement session. At the time, they were throwing around the idea of a destination wedding – and I was secretly hoping they’d contact me once they solidified their wedding plans. Then COVID hit and their wedding plans were put on hold. I still followed Inali on social media and often wondered how things were going with the two of them.
Then, in January 2022, Inali reached out to me to see if I’d be available to photograph their wedding in April. And it was an immediate YES!! I was so excited to photograph this wedding for Inali, Leon, and their families!! I just knew it was going to be such an incredible day… and it was!
Despite torrential rain all day, Inali + Leon were so happy and were finally married in a dual Hindu + Christian ceremony in a small conference room at the Grand Bohemian Hotel in Charlotte. Although the weather didn’t cooperate with us, and the hotel wouldn’t allow us to take photos anywhere inside aside from the conference room, it really turned out to be one of my very favorite weddings EVER!! It was my very first time lead shooting a Hindu wedding and I am OBSESSED!! The traditions + rituals are so beautiful and sacred. I just found the entire ceremony mesmerizing.
Overall, it was just an incredible experience and I can’t wait to photograph my next one! Congratulations Inali + Leon – and THANK YOU for allowing me to capture your beautiful celebration!!

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 […]
