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.

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…

Taylor and Hutch’s wedding at the Pavilion at Patriots Point was colorful, stylish, and filled with so much personality. From the unexpected color palette and playful animal-print details to the incredible sailcloth tent overlooking Charleston Harbor, every part of the day felt distinctly them. Their palette mixed rich shades of brown with lilac, chartreuse, soft […]

There’s something incredibly special about celebrating a wedding at home – especially when that home is one you’ve only just begun making your own. Molly and Erik had recently purchased their home on James Island, and instead of planning a large, traditional wedding, they invited their immediate families and closest friends to join them there […]

There was an ease to Allyson and Brian’s wedding day that made it such a joy to photograph. From the moment I arrived at The Ocean Course on Kiawah Island, everything felt relaxed, intentional, and centered on what mattered most: celebrating their marriage with the people they love. No overcomplicated timeline, no unnecessary stress – […]

After three years of being engaged and originally planning a much larger wedding, Allison and Jake decided to take a different path. Instead of a big celebration, they chose an intimate wedding day centered around what mattered most to them: each other and the people they love most. With just 19 guests in attendance – […]

When a place has been woven into your family’s traditions for years, there’s something especially meaningful about beginning your marriage there. For Addison, Kiawah Island has been a beloved part of life since childhood. So when it came time to choose a wedding location, bringing family and friends together on the island where so many […]
