Oh. My. Gosh. YOU GUYS!!! You are in for a serious treat today. Carrie + Ryan’s gorgeous Lowndes Grove wedding last weekend was absolutely breathtaking. The ladies of Pure Luxe Bride knocked it out of the park with this botanical black tie affair. I’ve photographed a ton of weddings over the past 4 years and this is definitely one of my absolute favorites!!
The day started with a sweet First Look + portraits in historic downtown Charleston before heading back to Lowndes Grove for bridal party + family photos. I love the fact that Carrie’s brother officiated their beautiful riverfront ceremony – I think it’s always so awesome when a close friend or family member is the one officiating because it makes things even more personal + unique. Carrie + Ryan exchanged personal vows that had everyone in tears and then they joined all of their friends and family for cocktail hour in the main house. As the sun began to set over the Ashley River, guests made their way outside for an open air seated dinner. It was such a beautiful setting!! After the sun dipped below the horizon, guests moved under the tent to dance… and the dance floor was packed all night. At the end of the evening, Carrie + Ryan exited through a tunnel of sparklers and hopping into their getaway car. Here are some of my favorites from Carrie + Ryan’s botanical black tie soiree…

Katelyn and Andrew’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of timeless elegance, meaningful family moments, and an incredible celebration with their favorite people.

Hannah and Chandler’s wedding day was the perfect combination of classic Charleston charm and laid-back coastal elegance. With an intimate ceremony downtown followed by a relaxed waterfront celebration on Isle of Palms, their day was filled with thoughtful details, beautiful scenery, and the people who mean the most to them. One of my favorite things […]
Taylor and Hutch’s wedding at the Pavilion at Patriots Point was colorful, stylish, and filled with so much personality. From the unexpected color palette and playful animal-print details to the incredible sailcloth tent overlooking Charleston Harbor, every part of the day felt distinctly them. Their palette mixed rich shades of brown with lilac, chartreuse, soft […]
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 – […]
