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…

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 […]
Lauren + Matt are the embodiment of pure, unfiltered JOY. The way these two look at each other. The way they smile from ear to ear when they are next to each other. Absolute, contagious, electric joy. I truly feel so lucky to have been in the presence of their love. It’s a love that […]
In May, I headed to Atlanta for Lynsey + Tyler’s romantic wedding at Summerour Studio. I knew their wedding weekend was going to be special and it absolutely was! Their celebration started with a beautiful rehearsal dinner at the Peachtree Club, overlooking the city. It was so great to meet all of their VIP’s the […]
I first met Tori back in 2016 when I photographed her older sister Kiersten’s wedding. Little did I know then that I would go on to photograph their sister Chelsea’s wedding in 2021 – and finally Tori’s wedding in 2024! Legacy clients are so special and the Stolen family means so much to me. They […]
When I first spoke to Elizabeth last June, I knew that her wedding day was going to be something special. She spoke about getting married in her hometown of Beaufort SC – first, a sweet ceremony at her local church, followed by a tented waterfront celebration filled with bright colors and palm accents. Elizabeth wanted […]
