The week leading up to Courtney + TJ’s wedding, the forecast wasn’t looking so great. Rain + thunderstorms were projected every single day, including their wedding day. Thankfully, Mother Nature decided to cooperate and, after a morning of drizzle and dark skies, the weather cleared up and their day ended up being the picture of perfection.
I had been looking forward to Courtney + TJ’s wedding ever since I met them last summer for their engagement session. I absolutely adore these two and I knew their wedding day was going to be super fun! They honestly have the best family and friends… everyone was so sweet, kind, and welcoming. Courtney + TJ said “I do” in a beautiful ceremony officiated by TJ’s dad, Captain Bob – he owns the Carolina Girl yacht, which TJ also captains! Afterwards, the couple celebrated all night long with their guests at the Cotton Dock.
As expected, it was an amazing celebration and Courtney even did the entire choreographed dance to Lady Gaga’s song, Bad Romance… a tribute to Lady Gaga, who is a friend of Courtney’s, but was unable to attend the wedding due to her Las Vegas residency commitment. It was still a really fun moment to see Courtney dancing in her honor!! At the end of the night, Courtney + TJ exited through a tunnel of sparklers before heading to their after party. It was such a beautiful day and I’m honored to have been a part of it all. Here are some of my favorites from Courtney + TJ’s gorgeous wedding at Boone Hall Plantation…

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.

Hilton Head is a special place to Abby + Greyson, as Abby’s parents live there and she’s been visiting the area for years.

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 […]
