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…

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 […]
Some weddings are more emotional than others and, for Sarah + Logan, this was especially true. After having to postpone their original wedding date abruptly due to a health scare, they said “I do!” just a year later – and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. They had waited a long time for […]
Lauren + James’ wedding day was one that won’t soon be forgotten. As a nod to their shared love of trying new restaurants, planner + designer extraordinaire, Allison Event Design, created a tented reception space with all of the restaurant-inspired details they love. A statement bar that wowwed guests, a mix of table sizes for […]
Becca + Stephen’s art deco inspired wedding at the American Theatre in downtown Charleston was one for the books! Their day was filled with so much love, joy, and thoughtfulness – I swear, the best weddings are always the ones that are centered around the couple and their family + friends. Sure, pretty details are […]
2025 got off to the very best start with Maggie + Britt! I absolutely ADORE these two and their wedding day was the perfect way to start the new year. Their shared love of the water and all of the natural beauty that the Lowcountry has to offer made the Regatta Inn a no-brainer choice […]
Payton + Connor’s rainy celebration at Lowndes Grove was the PERFECT way to close out the 2024 wedding season. When I first spoke with Payton, she told me that she envisioned a colorful wedding day – despite being married in late December. I LOVE that she went with bright florals and colors because it was […]
