I first met Carrie a few years ago when she interned with a local wedding planner. We stayed in touch through the years and when she got engaged to her longtime love, she asked me if I would photograph her wedding. It’s always such an honor when someone in the wedding industry asks you to be a part of their own wedding day! Although a date change made it impossible for me to be there on her actual wedding day, I had the honor of photographing her bridal portraits at Lowndes Grove before the big day. We had such a great time together and I absolutely loved how everything came together!
For her bridal portrait session, Carrie crafted her own bouquet filled with yellow, white + green blooms. I loved the pop of color! She wore a custom Robert Bullock brocade ball gown, emerald green shoes, and tied an emerald green ribbon around her bouquet in honor of her Dad’s birthday, which was 3 days after this session. What I really loved about this session is that Carrie was so laid back and really leaned into the process. Despite crazy wind, we went out to the dock and those are some of my favorite images ever! I love how the wind played with her dress and her curly hair! So fun!
Although I wasn’t able to photograph her wedding in the end, I’m so glad I was able to do her bridal portraits at Lowndes Grove. We had such a blast together! Here are some of my favorite images from Carrie’s beautiful bridal portrait session…

Some wedding days are beautiful. Others are joyful. And then there are the rare ones that feel like joy in motion – the kind you can feel in every frame, every laugh, every stolen glance. Rachel and Mac’s wedding at Magnolia Plantation was exactly that. From the very beginning, they chose to experience the day […]
For Jennie, Sea Pines has never been just a wedding destination – it’s home. Long before this day, she spent summers working in Harbour Town, learning its rhythms, its light, and the way life slows down just enough on Hilton Head Island. So when it came time to choose where she and Greg would get […]
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 […]
