I LOVE shooting destination weddings. Like, love love LOVE it! So whenever a bride + groom ask me to travel to document their wedding day, I’m so humbled and honored because it’s such an amazing experience for me. So when Dana + Paul found me through an internet search for light + bright wedding photographers and asked me to travel to Stone Harbor, New Jersey for their wedding day, I jumped at the chance. And it was truly meant to be because during our initial phone chat, I found out that both Dana + Paul graduated from Gettysburg College – my alma mater too! So fun!! It made the entire experience even more special for me!
The forecast leading up to their wedding day wasn’t looking great, but Mother Nature answered our prayers and delivered an INCREDIBLE day for them. The overcast skies kept the heat at bay and provided soft, gorgeous lighting for portraits. We started the day on the beach, where everyone was getting ready. Before we knew it, we were off to the golf club, where Dana + Paul shared a sweet First Look. They were up for anything and even trekked into some tall grass for some of my very favorite portraits of the day. THANK YOU for trusting me, you guys!! It was totally worth it!!
They were joined by their bridal party and family for group photos before their sweet ceremony on the patio, which was officiated by Dana’s cousin. Then, the party got into full swing and the dance floor was PACKED all night. At the very end of the night, Dana + Paul exited through a tunnel of sparklers… the perfect ending to the perfect day!! Here are some of my favorites from Dana + Paul’s beautiful Stone Harbor Golf Club wedding…

Ashley + Kyle’s wedding day was, in a word, magic. These two share such a beautiful love and I am beyond thankful to have witnessed it first hand. Ashley is pure JOY in human form and she absolutely glows in Kyle’s presence. The way they look at each other and care for each other is […]
From the moment I first spoke to Sandra, I knew her wedding day was going to be something special. She had a clear vision of a day filled with special details, personalized moments, and a celebration of love that was truly unique to her and Matt’s love story. Being in the fashion world, I knew […]
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. When I had the opportunity to capture Hannah + Ashley’s engagement session on an overcast day this past September, I knew it would be […]
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 […]
