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!

Sarah and Jake have been together for ten years. That kind of history shows up in subtle ways – in ease, in trust, in the way two people move through a day without needing to perform. Living in New York City, with Jake’s parents based in Charleston, Planters Inn felt like a natural place for […]

Some wedding days are carefully planned. Others unfold exactly the way they’re meant to. Melissa and Eric originally hired me to photograph their elopement closer to home near Lake Wylie. But when Melissa’s father became ill, everything shifted. Plans were paused, priorities reordered, and space was made for what mattered most. When the time felt […]

There’s something about being near the water that instantly slows everything down. Jordan and Greg were married at the Cottages at Charleston Harbor, and their wedding day unfolded with the kind of ease that can only be felt. An al fresco, tented celebration by the harbor, layered with soft light, movement, and color, it was […]

Sarah + Steven’s wedding day began quietly, in the best way. Beautiful light filtered into the girls’ getting ready suite at The Omni Hilton Head, where Sarah was getting ready – not alone, but alongside two very important people — Steve’s daughters, Lana and Leah. Joined also by her mother and sister, they laughed, helped, […]

This year FLEW by! I feel like I blinked and we’re just 3 days away from the New Year. It’s been a quick one, but it’s also been a great one. Personally, I’ve grown by leaps and bounds. Creatively, I’m rediscovering myself. 2025 was a year for getting back to my roots and undoing some […]

Some couples know exactly what they want. Not because they’ve seen it everywhere, but because it feels true to them. Alyse and Greg were that kind of couple. From our very first phone call, Alyse described her vision in just a few words: romantic, moody, editorial. No big production. No venue. No audience. Just the […]
