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 can be seen and felt by anyone who is anywhere near them. A love that, quite frankly, feels like what you only find in fairy tales. This day was one that I will never forget and one that I feel so lucky to have gotten to document. Their day started at The Sanctuary on Kiawah – a place that has been so special to Lauren’s family for years. And a place that is now so special to Matt + Lauren forever.
Their traditional Jewish ceremony took place under the most gorgeous chuppah and the smile on Lauren’s face just says it all. After being pronounced as husband and wife, Lauren + Matt were joined by their wedding party + family members for formal photos on the front lawn. Everyone was in the best of spirits and I loved watching everyone celebrate these two after such a heart-warming ceremony. Cocktail hour followed, then guests were invited into the ballroom for a multi-course dinner. We snuck out for some sunset photos, then Lauren + Matt spent the rest of the night on the dance floor together. I LOVE when my couples park themselves on the dance floor all night! It really keeps the party going strong when the bride + groom are front and center with their guests! The party went until late into the night and it really was the best day for Lauren + Matt. I’m forever grateful to be a part of their love story and here are some of my favorite images from their beautiful Kiawah wedding at The Sanctuary…

Ashley + Kyle’s wedding day was, in a word, magic. These two share such a beautiful love and I am beyond thankful to have witnessed it first hand. Ashley is pure JOY in human form and she absolutely glows in Kyle’s presence. The way they look at each other and care for each other is […]
From the moment I first spoke to Sandra, I knew her wedding day was going to be something special. She had a clear vision of a day filled with special details, personalized moments, and a celebration of love that was truly unique to her and Matt’s love story. Being in the fashion world, I knew […]
There’s something undeniably magical about Charleston SC. The cobblestone alleyways, the historic charm, and the gentle breeze off of the water – which creates the perfect setting for love to flourish. When I had the opportunity to capture Hannah + Ashley’s engagement session on an overcast day this past September, I knew it would be […]
Hilton Head is a special place to Abby + Greyson, as Abby’s parents live there and she’s been visiting the area for years. I always love how the magic of Hilton Head and Sea Pines brings families together on such an incredible day. This September wedding day at Sea Pines started off with torrential rain […]
Somehow, it’s already February and I just realized that I haven’t posted my year-end recap from 2024. Yikes! Better late than never, I suppose! If I’m being totally honest and transparent, 2024 was a difficult year for me + my mindset. Self-doubt, not knowing where I “fit in”, feeling jealousy of other photographers, and not […]
I met up with Nicole + Thomas last summer for their engagement session out on Folly Beach. They found me through another one of my couples, whose wedding I photographed at Sea Pines last winter, and I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their Charleston wedding! I loved spending the evening with them […]
