Jessica + Lee’s wedding was the perfect way to start off 2023. I absolutely ADORE this couple and their wedding day was such a joy to document. Jessica envisioned a classic, romantic, elegant celebration with an emphasis on fun. I’d say that they absolutely got what they wished for!
The girls spent the morning getting ready at the home where Jessica worked as a nanny many years ago, which was such a fun and special detail. One of the kids she nannied is now a teenager who plays violin – so naturally she was the one who provided music during cocktail hour, which was another fun personal detail.
Jessica + Lee opted for a traditional aisle reveal and seeing Lee’s face as he watched Jessica walk down the aisle towards him was so so special. They said “I do!” at Bethel United Methodist Church, where Lee has been a member for many many years. Jessica’s youth minister from high school officiated their beautiful ceremony and I just love how intimate and personal their ceremony was.
Their reception was so much fun! The Midnight City Band is always a blast and they actually were playing at Red’s Ice House on Shem Creek the night Jessica + Lee got engaged – so of course they chose them to play at their wedding as well. The dance floor was packed all night and it was just such a beautiful day from start to finish.
Enjoy some of my favorites from Jessica + Lee’s wedding at the Cedar Room in downtown Charleston SC…

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 […]
