I don’t think I could love a couple any more than I love Haley + Dillard. From the very first time I met them, we just clicked and it has been such a joy + honor to work with them over the past year. On a gorgeous July day, they said “I do!” beneath a beautiful custom made cross overlooking the Stono River and it was pure perfection.
Haley + Dillard opted for a First Look, which is always a good idea – but it’s an especially good idea in the summer, when AC breaks are crucial. Haley looked amazing in her gorgeous lace Stella York gown and her bridesmaids looked stunning in their long, flowing bridesmaid dresses by Mori Lee. The guys looked great in navy suits with coordinating pink bowties. Let me just say… this was one good looking bridal party! Haley + Dillard chose the PERFECT color palette for this coastal venue!
Following a beautiful ceremony on the back lawn, guests enjoyed cocktail hour at the front of the house before heading under the tent for the reception. I was lucky enough to sneak away with Haley + Dillard later in the evening for some photos on the nearby dock and they are some of my absolute favorites!! Guests dined on traditional Southern fare and danced the night away to amazing music by Stephen Darby. At the end of the night, Haley + Dillard exited through a tunnel of glow sticks. It was just an amazing day and here are some of my favorites from their beautiful wedding day…

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 […]
Lauren + Matt are the embodiment of pure, unfiltered JOY. The way these two look at each other. The way they smile from ear to ear when they are next to each other. Absolute, contagious, electric joy. I truly feel so lucky to have been in the presence of their love. It’s a love that […]
