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…

There was an ease to Allyson and Brian’s wedding day that made it such a joy to photograph.

No overcomplicated timeline, no unnecessary stress – […]
After three years of being engaged and originally planning a much larger wedding, Allison and Jake decided to take a different path. Instead of a big celebration, they chose an intimate wedding day centered around what mattered most to them: each other and the people they love most. With just 19 guests in attendance – […]

Charleston weather likes to keep everyone on their toes, but even by Lowcountry standards, Caroline and Cody’s wedding day was memorable. Rain fell for most of the day – a rarity in Charleston, especially when it seems determined to stick around from morning until ceremony time. Yet through every forecast update, timeline adjustment, and weather-related […]
Some wedding days are beautiful because of the details. Others are beautiful because of the people. Ansley and James’ wedding in Columbia, South Carolina was the rare combination of both.
