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…

Sarah and Jake have been together for ten years. That kind of history shows up in subtle ways – in ease, in trust, in the way two people move through a day without needing to perform. Living in New York City, with Jake’s parents based in Charleston, Planters Inn felt like a natural place for […]
Some wedding days are carefully planned. Others unfold exactly the way they’re meant to. Melissa and Eric originally hired me to photograph their elopement closer to home near Lake Wylie. But when Melissa’s father became ill, everything shifted. Plans were paused, priorities reordered, and space was made for what mattered most. When the time felt […]
There’s something about being near the water that instantly slows everything down. Jordan and Greg were married at the Cottages at Charleston Harbor, and their wedding day unfolded with the kind of ease that can only be felt. An al fresco, tented celebration by the harbor, layered with soft light, movement, and color, it was […]
Sarah + Steven’s wedding day began quietly, in the best way. Beautiful light filtered into the girls’ getting ready suite at The Omni Hilton Head, where Sarah was getting ready – not alone, but alongside two very important people — Steve’s daughters, Lana and Leah. Joined also by her mother and sister, they laughed, helped, […]
This year FLEW by! I feel like I blinked and we’re just 3 days away from the New Year. It’s been a quick one, but it’s also been a great one. Personally, I’ve grown by leaps and bounds. Creatively, I’m rediscovering myself. 2025 was a year for getting back to my roots and undoing some […]
Some couples know exactly what they want. Not because they’ve seen it everywhere, but because it feels true to them. Alyse and Greg were that kind of couple. From our very first phone call, Alyse described her vision in just a few words: romantic, moody, editorial. No big production. No venue. No audience. Just the […]
