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…

When Katie first told me about her wedding day vision – a classic brunch wedding overlooking the water at the iconic Ocean Course on Kiawah Island – I knew it was going to be such a beautiful celebration. There really isn’t anything like a Kiawah Island wedding! A custom Modern Trousseau ball gown, topped with […]
I met up with Dawn + Joey in February for their beautiful engagement session here in Charleston. They brought their two beautiful pups, Willow + Cricket, along for part of the session… and boy, did they have a blast at Hampton Park?!? I am totally OBSESSED with the photos of them walking together (below) because […]
Audra + Rahul’s beautiful traditional Indian wedding in Charleston was definitely one for the books. I absolutely LOVE everything about South Asian/Indian weddings… the colors, the attire, the music, the food, the traditions, the rituals, the family element, the dancing. There really is nothing like it and if I could specialize in shooting only South […]
From the very first time I spoke with Martha Camille, I knew that her Boone Hall wedding was going to be EPIC. I also knew that she was going to be a dream client for me – and she absolutely was! I love all of my couples, but it’s so extra special when someone has […]
When Martha Camille told me that she wanted to recreate her mother’s studio bridal portraits, I’ll admit… I was a little hesitant. I’ve never done studio bridal portraits before and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to bring her vision to life. As a creative, I love doing things that are outside of […]
2023 was definitely one of the best years yet for my business. I had the honor of working with so many fabulous couples, in so many fabulous locations… including Spain, Italy, and Hawaii!
