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…

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 […]

Maren and Kevin’s wedding at Ford Field + River Club in Savannah was the kind of day that felt effortlessly relaxed from beginning to end. Set beneath the Spanish moss and overlooking the water, every part of their celebration embraced the natural beauty of the Lowcountry while still feeling elegant, colorful, and incredibly inviting. Living […]
