Erin + Eric traveled from their home in Wisconsin, along with their closest family + friends, to say “I do!” in the lowcountry. They chose Sea Pines since her aunt lives on nearby Daufuskie Island and they really wanted to get married somewhere warm + laid back. They couldn’t have made a better choice! Their first born pup, Decker, and their 18 month old son, Lucas, were the real VIPs of the day and it was so amazing to watch them all come together in marriage.
Although rain threatened the area all morning, we were able to do all of their photos outdoors before the skies opened. Thank you, Mother Nature!! We started their day with a beautiful First Look in the local cemetery. Yup, that’s right… a cemetery! Erin + Eric totally trusted my vision and didn’t bat an eye when I told them where I wanted to do their First Look… and it turned out beautifully. You’d never even know! I am so thankful for clients who trust me, even when my plans include cemeteries on their wedding day!!
Erin mentioned that the bright pink azaleas were her favorite, so naturally we had to find some for their portraits. It was another odd-ball location choice – a random driveway – but it totally worked. I felt really creative and inspired with their portraits… and they are some of my new favorites because of it!!
Rain started shortly after family photos, so their ceremony was moved indoors… but it was so perfect. Decker fell asleep on Erin’s train during the ceremony and Lucas started crying during their vows. Everyone was laughing and it was a memorable ceremony for sure!!
Their reception took place at the Atlantic Room and they danced the night away with their friends + family after a delicious seated meal. Both Erin + Eric had smiles on their faces all evening and it was clear just how loved they are. It was an incredible day and I’m honored to have been a part of it all. Here are some of my favorites from Erin + Eric’s spring wedding at Sea Pines Resort…

Hilton Head is a special place to Abby + Greyson, as Abby’s parents live there and she’s been visiting the area for years. I always love how the magic of Hilton Head and Sea Pines brings families together on such an incredible day. This September wedding day at Sea Pines started off with torrential rain […]
Somehow, it’s already February and I just realized that I haven’t posted my year-end recap from 2024. Yikes! Better late than never, I suppose! If I’m being totally honest and transparent, 2024 was a difficult year for me + my mindset. Self-doubt, not knowing where I “fit in”, feeling jealousy of other photographers, and not […]
I met up with Nicole + Thomas last summer for their engagement session out on Folly Beach. They found me through another one of my couples, whose wedding I photographed at Sea Pines last winter, and I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their Charleston wedding! I loved spending the evening with them […]
Dawn + Joey’s classic coastal summer wedding at Dataw Island Club was truly one that I will never forget. Every single detail was so thoughtfully curated and it was such an honor to be a part of their full wedding weekend. From their cozy rehearsal dinner the night before, to their epic celebration on the […]
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 […]
