Two Golden Retrievers in running shoes. That is what Chelsea + Bill are described as by their best friends. Always happy, always excited, always enthusiastic… and their wedding day photos are an absolute reflection of that! The way they light up around each other is just beautiful. Their smiles are contagious! It was pure joy to be there with them and document this incredible day for them… I’m truly so lucky to have such amazing clients.
We started their wedding day with a sweet First Look. In true enthusiastic Golden Retriever fashion, Chelsea started jumping up and down as she embraced Bill… it was so cute, I was just dying behind the camera, relishing in their joy. Before we knew it, Chelsea was walking down the aisle on the arm of her father… and as soon as they stepped out from under the porch, the rain started. They said their vows as light rain fell on them + their guests… it was the most romantic ceremony I’ve ever photographed because of the rain!! As soon as their ceremony finished, the skies opened up and it POURED… but luckily everything else was happening inside the house and under the tent, so we were all good!
I loved documenting this beautiful celebration for Chelsea + Bill. It’s weddings like this and clients like these that make my job so special. Here are some of my favorite photos from Chelsea + Bill’s gorgeous fall wedding at the Thomas Bennett House…

I love it when my couples opt to do an engagement session with me before their wedding day. While it’s by no means necessary, I always really love getting to know my couples before the wedding day – and I also love being able to take some epic photos of them during this special time […]
From the very first time I spoke with Caroline, I knew that her wedding day was going to be so special.

Lauren + Matt are the embodiment of pure, unfiltered JOY. The way these two look at each other. The way they smile from ear to ear when they are next to each other. Absolute, contagious, electric joy. I truly feel so lucky to have been in the presence of their love. It’s a love that […]
In May, I headed to Atlanta for Lynsey + Tyler’s romantic wedding at Summerour Studio. I knew their wedding weekend was going to be special and it absolutely was! Their celebration started with a beautiful rehearsal dinner at the Peachtree Club, overlooking the city. It was so great to meet all of their VIP’s the […]
I first met Tori back in 2016 when I photographed her older sister Kiersten’s wedding. Little did I know then that I would go on to photograph their sister Chelsea’s wedding in 2021 – and finally Tori’s wedding in 2024! Legacy clients are so special and the Stolen family means so much to me. They […]
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 […]
