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…

When Martha Camille told me that she wanted to recreate her mother’s studio bridal portraits, I’ll admit… I was a little hesitant. I’ve never done studio bridal portraits before and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to bring her vision to life. As a creative, I love doing things that are outside of […]
2023 was definitely one of the best years yet for my business. I had the honor of working with so many fabulous couples, in so many fabulous locations… including Spain, Italy, and Hawaii! I feel extremely lucky that I was able to experience such a tremendous year of growth and travel. Here are some of […]
This colorful winter wedding at Sea Pines Resort was the perfect way to start 2024. On one of the coldest days of the year, Caitlyn + Mark said “I do!” on the iconic 18th lawn at Harbourtown Links, overlooking the Calibogue Sound. Surrounded by their closest family + friends, their day was everything that Caitlyn […]
When I first started second shooting in 2011, I’ll admit… I had NO IDEA what I was doing. I was pretty good with my camera, technically. I could shoot in manual mode and had some understanding of flash. However, I wasn’t entirely sure of my role as a second shooter and had no idea exactly […]
Lowndes Grove is a magical venue for romantic bridal portraits. The house is bathed in gorgeous light, thanks to the large windows throughout. It has plenty of indoor space that you can use in case of inclement weather. The rooms are beautifully decorated in a classic style that complements the overall aesthetic of the property. […]
