Most of my couples don’t live in South Carolina. In fact, most of my clients live elsewhere and are planning destination weddings here in the lowcountry. I always love it when I have the opportunity to do an engagement session with my clients before their wedding day. It helps us get to know each other and it makes the wedding day a little less stressful since we’ve already had the chance to spend time together.
I met up with New Yorkers Kaitlin + Gregory at their favorite beach spot in Sea Pines while they were in town for the RBC Heritage golf tournament last month. Gregory’s family has a home there in Hilton Head and it is a very special place to Kaitlin + Gregory, who will be getting married there next spring. We practically had the beach to ourselves on this windy but gorgeous morning! Kaitlin + Gregory were complete naturals in front of the camera and I just LOVE the way that they look at each other. When I asked them to hold hands while walking, they explained to me that they don’t actually hold hands. They hold pinkies! And I love capturing those fun, unique parts of my clients’ relationship with each other!
We had such a great time on the beach and I’m already excited for their big day next spring! Here are some of my favorites from Kaitlin + Gregory’s spring destination engagement session in Hilton Head…

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 […]
