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…

Ashley + Kyle’s wedding day was, in a word, magic. These two share such a beautiful love and I am beyond thankful to have witnessed it first hand. Ashley is pure JOY in human form and she absolutely glows in Kyle’s presence. The way they look at each other and care for each other is […]
From the moment I first spoke to Sandra, I knew her wedding day was going to be something special. She had a clear vision of a day filled with special details, personalized moments, and a celebration of love that was truly unique to her and Matt’s love story. Being in the fashion world, I knew […]
There’s something undeniably magical about Charleston SC. The cobblestone alleyways, the historic charm, and the gentle breeze off of the water – which creates the perfect setting for love to flourish. When I had the opportunity to capture Hannah + Ashley’s engagement session on an overcast day this past September, I knew it would be […]
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 […]
