San Diego residents Brittany + Brian chose Charleston for their intimate destination wedding and it was the PERFECT place for them to celebrate with their closest family + friends. The day started at one of my favorite boutique hotels in town, Zero George, where Brittany + Brian shared their First Look and their best friends joined in for bridal party photos before heading out to Magnolia Plantation. The ladies of Pure Luxe Bride did an AMAZING job and the florals by Branch Studio were impeccable. Brittany stunned in her dramatic Essense of Australia gown and I love how Brian wore a plaid shirt instead of a traditional solid color. They definitely infused some of their fun, quirky, and cool California style into the wedding day and I was in heaven!!
They said “I do!” in the garden next to the main house at Magnolia Plantation, then celebrated with a three course meal and dancing under the stars with their closest family + friends. Wed on Canvas was on hand to do a live wedding painting of the celebration and before leaving for the evening, Brittany + Brian ran through a tunnel of sparklers held by all of their guests. It was a magical day and I’m so glad to have met Brittany + Brian throughout this process! Here are some of my favorites from Brittany + Brian’s beautiful, intimate Magnolia Plantation wedding…

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 […]
