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…

I met up with Dawn + Joey in February for their beautiful engagement session here in Charleston.

I am totally OBSESSED with the photos of them walking together (below) because […]
Audra + Rahul’s beautiful traditional Indian wedding in Charleston was definitely one for the books. I absolutely LOVE everything about South Asian/Indian weddings… the colors, the attire, the music, the food, the traditions, the rituals, the family element, the dancing. There really is nothing like it and if I could specialize in shooting only South […]
From the very first time I spoke with Martha Camille, I knew that her Boone Hall wedding was going to be EPIC. I also knew that she was going to be a dream client for me – and she absolutely was! I love all of my couples, but it’s so extra special when someone has […]
When Martha Camille told me that she wanted to recreate her mother’s studio bridal portraits, I’ll admit… I was a little hesitant. I’ve never done studio bridal portraits before and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to bring her vision to life. As a creative, I love doing things that are outside of […]

This colorful winter wedding at Sea Pines Resort was the perfect way to start 2024. On one of the coldest days of the year, Caitlyn + Mark said “I do!” on the iconic 18th lawn at Harbourtown Links, overlooking the Calibogue Sound.
