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…

Tucked into the heart of historic downtown Charleston, Bri and Brett’s wedding felt less like an event and more like being invited into something deeply personal. Hosted at a private residence South of Broad – a home Bri knows well, as she manages the property for the owners – the setting carried a level of […]

Kendal and Alec’s wedding day at Sea Pines Resort felt relaxed, joyful, and beautifully personal from beginning to end. With close family and friends gathered on Hilton Head Island, their celebration was intentionally small – the kind of wedding where every guest feels deeply connected to the couple and the reason everyone is there. While […]

Some wedding days are beautiful. Others are joyful. And then there are the rare ones that feel like joy in motion – the kind you can feel in every frame, every laugh, every stolen glance. Rachel and Mac’s wedding at Magnolia Plantation was exactly that. From the very beginning, they chose to experience the day […]

For Jennie, Sea Pines has never been just a wedding destination – it’s home. Long before this day, she spent summers working in Harbour Town, learning its rhythms, its light, and the way life slows down just enough on Hilton Head Island. So when it came time to choose where she and Greg would get […]

Some places hold more than memories – they hold generations. For Madeline + Porter, Hilton Head wasn’t just a beautiful setting for their wedding day at Sea Pines Resort; it was part of their family story long before they ever said “I do.” With both of their parents having been married on Hilton Head and […]

Nine years of growing up together gives you a certain steadiness – the kind that doesn’t panic when plans unravel. That quiet confidence defined Walker + Addi Grace’s wedding day at Boone Hall, even as steady rain reshaped nearly every detail of their celebration. High school sweethearts who met as freshmen and now call Columbia, […]
