Lowndes Grove is a magical venue for romantic bridal portraits. The house is bathed in gorgeous light, thanks to the large windows throughout. It has plenty of indoor space that you can use in case of inclement weather. The rooms are beautifully decorated in a classic style that complements the overall aesthetic of the property. There is a beautiful covered porch, a spiral staircase, and checker board floor in a light-filled portico. Outside, you have the live oaks, stunning azaleas that bloom in the spring, and a wooden dock that stretches out into the Ashley River.
Caitlyn, who lives in Greenville and got married on Hilton Head, wanted a beautiful historic home for her bridal portraits. She didn’t mind coming to Charleston for the session, so Lowndes Grove was my #1 recommendation. After a quick trip to Hilton Head for her hair + makeup trial, Caitlyn and her mom drove up to Charleston for the day. It was a chilly, overcast day and the soft, diffused light was PERFECTION. The wind was whipping off the water and Caitlyn was hesitant to put in her veil on the dock – but those are some of my favorite images from her session! I’m so glad she decided to trust me as a reassured her that her veil would not blow away into the pluff mud!
Caitlyn looked incredible in her classic Pronovias ball gown and her pearl-accented veil was perfect accent piece for her timeless wedding day look. The small bow on the back of her dress, combined with the intricate lace detail, helped bring it all together in the most beautiful way. Now that Caitlyn is married, I’m so excited to share some of my favorite romantic bridal portraits at Lowndes Grove…

Some places hold more than memories – they hold generations. For Madeline + Porter, Hilton Head wasn’t just a beautiful setting for their wedding day at Sea Pines Resort; it was part of their family story long before they ever said “I do.” With both of their parents having been married on Hilton Head and […]
Nine years of growing up together gives you a certain steadiness – the kind that doesn’t panic when plans unravel. That quiet confidence defined Walker + Addi Grace’s wedding day at Boone Hall, even as steady rain reshaped nearly every detail of their celebration. High school sweethearts who met as freshmen and now call Columbia, […]
Some wedding days unfold exactly as planned. Others ask you to let go, adapt, and trust what matters most. Lauren and Billy’s wedding at Sea Pines Resort in Hilton Head was very much the latter – and in many ways, that’s what made it so meaningful. Elegant, sophisticated, and deeply classic in style, their day […]
Mayzie + Hyrum’s intimate celebration at the Ocean Course on Kiawah gave me allllll of the Ralph Lauren vibes. When I look back at these images, I’m instantly transported – there’s something so Americana and nostalgic about the day, in the best possible way. Maybe it’s the classic blue hydrangea bouquet, effortlessly timeless. Maybe it’s […]
When it comes to tipping wedding vendors, there’s often a lot of conflicting information – especially when it comes to tipping photographers. Should you tip them? If so, how much? And who exactly should receive it – the lead photographer or their team? The truth is, while tipping your wedding photographer is never expected, it’s […]
Erin and Buddy’s Ocean Course Kiawah wedding was a day designed to feel calm, unrushed, and genuinely enjoyable for everyone involved, especially the two of them. The morning unfolded slowly, just as they’d planned. No chaos, no overstuffed schedule. Erin and Buddy got ready separately, knowing they had built in what so many couples forget […]
