Emily + Chad were originally supposed to get married earlier this spring, but they were one of many couples who were forced to postpone due to COVID. Fast forward 2 1/2 months later and their celebration was absolutely EVERYTHING!! With Hurricane Isaias closing in on the area – 2020 amiright?!? – the weather was actually beyond beautiful as Emily + Chad said “I do!” and danced the night away with their closest family and friends.
We started the day off with a sweet First Look and portraits at The Sanctuary Hotel, then headed out to the Ocean Course to meet up with everyone else. The girls looked so pretty in their blush pink dresses and the guys looked so handsome in their blue suits. Add in some colorful florals and it was the perfect summer color palette – so fitting for an oceanfront wedding!
Emily + Chad said “I do!” in a beautiful ceremony overlooking the golf course and ocean, then spent the rest of the evening celebrating with their friends + family. At the end of the night, the exited through a tunnel of streamers… the perfect ending to an amazing day. Their wedding was my first “full” wedding back since March and it felt SO GOOD to feel normal again!! I’ve missed my amazing clients and joy-filled days so much!! Here are some of my favorites from Emily + Chad’s beautiful summer wedding at Kiawah Ocean Course…

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 […]
From the very first time I spoke with Caroline, I knew that her wedding day was going to be so special. With just their immediate families in attendance, Caroline + Kevin’s day was centered around family – and they wanted to begin their life together surrounded by the people who love them the most in […]
