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…

When Katie first told me about her wedding day vision – a classic brunch wedding overlooking the water at the iconic Ocean Course on Kiawah Island – I knew it was going to be such a beautiful celebration. There really isn’t anything like a Kiawah Island wedding! A custom Modern Trousseau ball gown, topped with […]
I met up with Dawn + Joey in February for their beautiful engagement session here in Charleston. They brought their two beautiful pups, Willow + Cricket, along for part of the session… and boy, did they have a blast at Hampton Park?!? 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 […]
