I met up with Sarah + Russell in mid-October for their sweet engagement session in downtown Charleston. When we first started talking about locations for their Charleston engagement session, Sarah mentioned that she wanted to go to the City Marina so that they could incorporate boats into their session. Russell grew up sailing in Annapolis, Maryland and knew that this was important to him. You know I was THRILLED to hear that because I absolutely love shooting on the water at the Marina. It’s one of my favorite places in all of Charleston!!
We had the most spectacular weather for their Charleston engagement session and started downtown South of Broad – stopping at some of my favorite places along the way. I love all of the color and architecture that downtown Charleston has to offer – it’s pure southern charm!! I had the best time exploring downtown with them before heading out to the City Marina… where we caught the last bit of sunlight. Spending time with them made me so excited for their big day this summer – it’s going to be an amazing wedding, for sure. Here are some of my favorite images from Sarah + Russell’s downtown Charleston engagement session, featuring the City Marina…

Some wedding days are carefully planned. Others unfold exactly the way they’re meant to. Melissa and Eric originally hired me to photograph their elopement closer to home near Lake Wylie. But when Melissa’s father became ill, everything shifted. Plans were paused, priorities reordered, and space was made for what mattered most. When the time felt […]
There’s something about being near the water that instantly slows everything down. Jordan and Greg were married at the Cottages at Charleston Harbor, and their wedding day unfolded with the kind of ease that can only be felt. An al fresco, tented celebration by the harbor, layered with soft light, movement, and color, it was […]
Sarah + Steven’s wedding day began quietly, in the best way. Beautiful light filtered into the girls’ getting ready suite at The Omni Hilton Head, where Sarah was getting ready – not alone, but alongside two very important people — Steve’s daughters, Lana and Leah. Joined also by her mother and sister, they laughed, helped, […]
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 […]
