Emma + Justin’s wedding day was one that I’ll never forget. Unseasonably cold temperatures, intermittent rain, and a howling wind threw a wrench into their wedding day plans, but I’d venture to say that these things made their wedding day that much more memorable! After their First Look outside of The Dewberry hotel, we zipped through bride + groom portraits at warp speed. It was seriously the fastest I’ve ever shot portraits and I’m totally impressed with how much we were able to accomplish in 10-15 minutes!! Their bridal party joined us outside for group photos and then we called it a day in terms of trying to shoot outside. It was just too cold and miserable!!
Emma + Justin said “I do” in a small lobby outside of the ballroom and it was absolutely PERFECT. Ann with Purple Magnolia Floral created an AMAZING floral wall and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house as Emma + Justin said their vows. Cocktail hour took place in The Living Room, the funky hotel bar, and before long guests were ushered into the ballroom for the reception. Everyone was having so much fun celebrating these two fabulous people and it was so beautiful to see them surrounded by so much love on such an amazing day. Here are some of my favorites from Emma + Justin’s downtown Charleston wedding at The Dewberry…

I love it when my couples opt to do an engagement session with me before their wedding day. While it’s by no means necessary, I always really love getting to know my couples before the wedding day – and I also love being able to take some epic photos of them during this special time […]
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.

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 […]
