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…

This year FLEW by! I feel like I blinked and we’re just 3 days away from the New Year. It’s been a quick one, but it’s also been a great one. Personally, I’ve grown by leaps and bounds. Creatively, I’m rediscovering myself. 2025 was a year for getting back to my roots and undoing some […]
Some couples know exactly what they want. Not because they’ve seen it everywhere, but because it feels true to them. Alyse and Greg were that kind of couple. From our very first phone call, Alyse described her vision in just a few words: romantic, moody, editorial. No big production. No venue. No audience. Just the […]
Some weddings stay with you long after you’ve delivered the final gallery. Natalie and Matt’s wedding at the William Aiken House is one of those days for me. From the very beginning, their vision felt clear and joyful — a true spring garden party, full of color, life, and intention. On a beautiful Saturday in […]
There’s something so special about photographing a wedding that feels completely, authentically them. Ashley and Hannah’s wedding day at Magnolia Plantation was one of those days – full of laughter, meaning, and so much love. These two made the trip from Charlotte to celebrate their marriage surrounded by family, friends, and their sweet pup, Norman […]
Some weddings are more emotional than others and, for Sarah + Logan, this was especially true. After having to postpone their original wedding date abruptly due to a health scare, they said “I do!” just a year later – and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. They had waited a long time for […]
Lauren + James’ wedding day was one that won’t soon be forgotten.

A statement bar that wowwed guests, a mix of table sizes for […]
