When Callie told me that she wanted to do her bridal portraits out on Isle of Palms, at an incredible home that they would be renting for getting ready on the wedding day, I was so excited. Not only would we be able to create beautiful portraits of Callie – but I’d also get a sneak peek at the house where we’d be photographing the First Look and portraits on her actual wedding day. Callie’s fiance, Gates, works in property management here in Charleston and, luckily for us, one of his clients owns this beautiful home on IOP. We are so fortunate that we had access to this gorgeous property for both her bridal portraits and their wedding day – and on a beautiful spring evening, I met Callie + her mother here for their bridal portrait session.
Callie’s sweet Anne Barge ball gown was absolutely stunning and the bow on the back was the icing on the cake. I absolutely LOVE statement bows on wedding dresses. They are always such a beautiful detail that gives a dress a little something extra, without being over the top. Bows will always be in style, so I think they are a timeless addition to any wedding dress! Branch Design created a stunning tropical-inspired bouquet of white lilies, roses, lisianthus, and palm leaves. It was really a work of art! On the night of her bridal portraits, we had the most beautiful sunset with warm, glowy light. As I was shooting, it kind of felt like we were in California with the palm trees and warm glow. It was pretty epic.
Callie and Gates were married last spring at the Country Club of Charleston and I’m so excited to share these bridal portraits with the world. So here are some of my favorites from Callie’s bridal portraits on Isle of Palms…

Tucked into the heart of historic downtown Charleston, Bri and Brett’s wedding felt less like an event and more like being invited into something deeply personal. Hosted at a private residence South of Broad – a home Bri knows well, as she manages the property for the owners – the setting carried a level of […]
Kendal and Alec’s wedding day at Sea Pines Resort felt relaxed, joyful, and beautifully personal from beginning to end. With close family and friends gathered on Hilton Head Island, their celebration was intentionally small – the kind of wedding where every guest feels deeply connected to the couple and the reason everyone is there. While […]
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, […]
