Catherine + Will’s wedding day was so incredibly special… it’s clients like them and days like this that remind me how truly lucky I am. It is still surreal to me that people trust me to document such an important day in their life. What an incredible honor. So thank you, Catherine + Will, for allowing me to be there with you on your beautiful wedding day and to create such beautiful portraits of you two during this amazing time in your lives!
We started the day at the bridal suite at Magnolia, where Catherine had her hair + makeup done by Carrie of Paper Dolls… my fave!!! Catherine was absolutely glowing as she stepped into her beaded flowy gown… it was the perfect choice for this intimate plantation wedding. After sharing a sweet First Look with Will, we spent some time doing portraits around Magnolia Plantation, then met up with their officiant for their ceremony. It was just the sweetest ceremony and after they said “I do!”, they toasted to a life of love + happiness together and shared some strawberry cake under the oaks. Our time together went so quickly, but it’s a day I’ll always remember. Congratulations you guys!! And thank you for choosing me to document this amazing day for you!!

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 […]
Some weddings stay with you long after you’ve delivered the final gallery. Natalie and Matt’s wedding at the William Aiken House is one of those days for me. From the very beginning, their vision felt clear and joyful — a true spring garden party, full of color, life, and intention. On a beautiful Saturday in […]
There’s something so special about photographing a wedding that feels completely, authentically them. Ashley and Hannah’s wedding day at Magnolia Plantation was one of those days – full of laughter, meaning, and so much love. These two made the trip from Charlotte to celebrate their marriage surrounded by family, friends, and their sweet pup, Norman […]
