I love brunch. It’s definitely my favorite way to spend a Sunday off. So when Amelia + Harrison told me they were planning a brunch wedding, I was immediately in!
They chose the Ocean Course at Kiawah for their celebration and, with the help of the wonderful team at Boutique Planning, their vision of a laid back summer soiree came to life. They started their day with a sweet First Look, followed by portraits around the property. Mother Nature must have gotten the memo, as the overcast skies matched their wedding colors perfectly – and kept everyone a little bit cooler at the same time! Amelia + Harrison decided to forego the traditional wedding party and said “I do!” in a beautiful ceremony overlooking the ocean.
After the ceremony, Amelia + Harrison mingled with their guests during cocktail hour, enjoyed their signature drink – a Bloody Mary. A seated brunch followed in the Atlantic Room. After brunch, a jazz quartet played while guests enjoyed playing bocce ball on the lawn. It was the most beautiful day and I’m so honored to have been the one to capture this for them. Congratulations you guys and THANK YOU for allowing me to document this incredible day for you and your families!

Charleston weather likes to keep everyone on their toes, but even by Lowcountry standards, Caroline and Cody’s wedding day was memorable. Rain fell for most of the day – a rarity in Charleston, especially when it seems determined to stick around from morning until ceremony time. Yet through every forecast update, timeline adjustment, and weather-related […]

Some wedding days are beautiful because of the details. Others are beautiful because of the people. Ansley and James’ wedding in Columbia, South Carolina was the rare combination of both. After seven years together, these two gathered their favorite people for a celebration that felt joyful, colorful, and completely centered on the relationships that matter […]

Maren and Kevin’s wedding at Ford Field + River Club in Savannah was the kind of day that felt effortlessly relaxed from beginning to end.

Living […]

Bridal portraits offer a rare pause in the wedding season – a moment to step away from timelines and celebrations and focus entirely on the bride herself. Bri’s bridal portrait session took place at a private residence in downtown Charleston, and the setting could not have been more perfect. Rich teal walls, layered textures, patterned […]

Some wedding days just feel easy in the best possible way – not because nothing is happening, but because everything unfolds exactly as it should, surrounded by the people who matter most.
