When I first spoke to Elizabeth last June, I knew that her wedding day was going to be something special. She spoke about getting married in her hometown of Beaufort SC – first, a sweet ceremony at her local church, followed by a tented waterfront celebration filled with bright colors and palm accents. Elizabeth wanted the day to be relaxed and focused on spending time with their family + friends. She envisioned her bridesmaids to wear bright pink and dreamed of incredible florals throughout the wedding design. It was like she was describing my own dream wedding. Talk about a DREAM client!! I am so thankful she chose me to document this incredible day for her + Patrick because it really was a dream come true.

Their day started with a sweet First Look, followed by portraits around the Rhett House Inn in downtown Beaufort. Group photos with their wedding party + family followed, then everyone was tucked away before the start of the ceremony. Elizabeth + Patrick said “I do!” at St Helena’s Parish, her family’s church – and then everyone headed out to Kate Gleason Park for the reception.
Guests enjoyed cocktails overlooking the water before stations opened – featuring lowcountry fare and a gigantic raw bar. Once the party got underway, Elizabeth + Patrick never left the dance floor – they were by each others’ side the entire evening, dancing + celebrating with their best friends and incredible family. At the end of the night, they exited through a tunnel of cold sparks and hopped into a family friend’s vintage convertible. Such an incredible day! Here are just some of my favorites from Elizabeth + Patrick’s beautiful Beaufort SC wedding…

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 […]

When it comes to tipping wedding vendors, there’s often a lot of conflicting information – especially when it comes to tipping photographers. Should you tip them? If so, how much? And who exactly should receive it – the lead photographer or their team? The truth is, while tipping your wedding photographer is never expected, it’s […]

Erin and Buddy’s Ocean Course Kiawah wedding was a day designed to feel calm, unrushed, and genuinely enjoyable for everyone involved, especially the two of them. The morning unfolded slowly, just as they’d planned. No chaos, no overstuffed schedule. Erin and Buddy got ready separately, knowing they had built in what so many couples forget […]
