I absolutely LOVE shooting at the Gadsden House. It is definitely one of my favorite venues in Charleston and Elena + John’s wedding celebration was one for the books. I loved working with them + their families, documenting each sweet moment throughout the day. Their wedding day started with a beautiful First Look at the College of Charleston Cistern Yard, followed by portraits + bridal party photos in the same picturesque location. The bridal party looked stunning, with the ladies in a mix of pink, taupe, peach + mauve shades and the men in light grey suits. Elena did a fabulous job coordinating everyone and it was the perfect color palette for their early spring soiree.
Elena + John said “I do” in front of a boxwood flower wall at the Gadsden House, then celebrated their commitment with their closest family + friends. Their open air reception was so much fun and everyone has a great time. At the end of the night, Elena + John exited through a tunnel of sparklers… the perfect ending to their wedding day. Here are some of my favorites from their garden-inspired Charleston wedding at the Gadsden House…

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 […]

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 […]
