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…

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 […]
