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 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 […]
