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 – which made us all a little nervous, to be completely honest. Luckily, as the girls hung out and finished up their hair + makeup on the morning of the wedding, the skies dried up and the rest of the day was drenched in nothing but beautiful, overcast skies. Some photographers hate overcast skies, but me? I LOVE them! I feel like the colors always pop so beautifully in overcast light – and I love the freedom of being able to shoot anywhere I want to, without worry about harsh shadows.
The day officially got started with a sweet First Look at Harbourtown Clubhouse – and shortly thereafter, we were joined by Abby + Greydon’s beloved pup, Moogy, who completely stole the show. Abby’s girls all wore dresses in various shades of blue and I love how the mismatched patterns and colors complemented her colorful florals. You know I was totally in heaven with all of the spring florals!
Abby + Greydon said “I do” on the 18th green, overlooking the Calibogue Sound, in a beautiful ceremony officiated by one of her brothers. Afterwards, they celebrated with all of their guests on the green – drinking champagne and toasting to forever. The reception was so much fun, with Greydon and Abby dancing the night away together all night, surrounded by their family and friends. Sea Pines is definitely one of my favorite venues in Hilton Head and this celebration was no exception. Such a beautiful day filled with so much love and laughter. Cheers to the Pipers!

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 […]

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 […]
