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…

I met up with Dawn + Joey in February for their beautiful engagement session here in Charleston. They brought their two beautiful pups, Willow + Cricket, along for part of the session… and boy, did they have a blast at Hampton Park?!? I am totally OBSESSED with the photos of them walking together (below) because […]
Audra + Rahul’s beautiful traditional Indian wedding in Charleston was definitely one for the books. I absolutely LOVE everything about South Asian/Indian weddings… the colors, the attire, the music, the food, the traditions, the rituals, the family element, the dancing. There really is nothing like it and if I could specialize in shooting only South […]
From the very first time I spoke with Martha Camille, I knew that her Boone Hall wedding was going to be EPIC. I also knew that she was going to be a dream client for me – and she absolutely was! I love all of my couples, but it’s so extra special when someone has […]
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 […]
