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 undeniably magical about Charleston SC. The cobblestone alleyways, the historic charm, and the gentle breeze off of the water – which creates the perfect setting for love to flourish. When I had the opportunity to capture Hannah + Ashley’s engagement session on an overcast day this past September, I knew it would be […]
Hilton Head is a special place to Abby + Greyson, as Abby’s parents live there and she’s been visiting the area for years. I always love how the magic of Hilton Head and Sea Pines brings families together on such an incredible day. This September wedding day at Sea Pines started off with torrential rain […]
Somehow, it’s already February and I just realized that I haven’t posted my year-end recap from 2024. Yikes! Better late than never, I suppose! If I’m being totally honest and transparent, 2024 was a difficult year for me + my mindset. Self-doubt, not knowing where I “fit in”, feeling jealousy of other photographers, and not […]
I met up with Nicole + Thomas last summer for their engagement session out on Folly Beach. They found me through another one of my couples, whose wedding I photographed at Sea Pines last winter, and I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their Charleston wedding! I loved spending the evening with them […]
Dawn + Joey’s classic coastal summer wedding at Dataw Island Club was truly one that I will never forget. Every single detail was so thoughtfully curated and it was such an honor to be a part of their full wedding weekend. From their cozy rehearsal dinner the night before, to their epic celebration on the […]
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 […]
