Callie + Gates’ spring wedding celebration was definitely a highlight of 2023. From the very first time I spoke with Callie, I knew we were the PERFECT match – and it really made the entire process so special. From their engagement on Folly Beach, to her bridal portrait session, and finally – their wedding day… this journey with Callie + Gates was so amazing. I am so incredibly lucky to work with such fabulous couples and their families.
The day started with a sweet first look out on IOP, where everyone had spent the morning getting ready. Callie + Gates’ beloved dog, Tito, was also on hand for the first look and I absolutely loved his custom bandana that he wore to celebrate the occasion. After their first look and a few portraits on IOP, everyone headed downtown for their beautiful ceremony at Bethel Presbyterian – and then crossed the Ashley River to party all night at the Country Club of Charleston. The weather was absolutely incredible and the sunset that night was pure perfection. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day to celebrate Callie + Gates!
I am truly blessed to be living this life as a Charleston wedding photographer and to bear witness to love several weekends each year. Callie + Gates, thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to capture this amazing celebration for you and your families!! Cheers!!

Ashley + Kyle’s wedding day was, in a word, magic. These two share such a beautiful love and I am beyond thankful to have witnessed it first hand. Ashley is pure JOY in human form and she absolutely glows in Kyle’s presence. The way they look at each other and care for each other is […]
From the moment I first spoke to Sandra, I knew her wedding day was going to be something special. She had a clear vision of a day filled with special details, personalized moments, and a celebration of love that was truly unique to her and Matt’s love story. Being in the fashion world, I knew […]
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 […]
