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…

There’s something incredibly special about celebrating a wedding at home – especially when that home is one you’ve only just begun making your own. Molly and Erik had recently purchased their home on James Island, and instead of planning a large, traditional wedding, they invited their immediate families and closest friends to join them there […]
There was an ease to Allyson and Brian’s wedding day that made it such a joy to photograph. From the moment I arrived at The Ocean Course on Kiawah Island, everything felt relaxed, intentional, and centered on what mattered most: celebrating their marriage with the people they love. No overcomplicated timeline, no unnecessary stress – […]
After three years of being engaged and originally planning a much larger wedding, Allison and Jake decided to take a different path. Instead of a big celebration, they chose an intimate wedding day centered around what mattered most to them: each other and the people they love most. With just 19 guests in attendance – […]
When a place has been woven into your family’s traditions for years, there’s something especially meaningful about beginning your marriage there. For Addison, Kiawah Island has been a beloved part of life since childhood. So when it came time to choose a wedding location, bringing family and friends together on the island where so many […]
Charleston weather likes to keep everyone on their toes, but even by Lowcountry standards, Caroline and Cody’s wedding day was memorable. Rain fell for most of the day – a rarity in Charleston, especially when it seems determined to stick around from morning until ceremony time. Yet through every forecast update, timeline adjustment, and weather-related […]
Some wedding days are beautiful because of the details. Others are beautiful because of the people. Ansley and James’ wedding in Columbia, South Carolina was the rare combination of both. After seven years together, these two gathered their favorite people for a celebration that felt joyful, colorful, and completely centered on the relationships that matter […]
