From the very beginning, Allison + Andrew envisioned an intimate wedding day surrounded by their closest friends + family. Something small, personal, and quintessentially southern. They chose to say “I do!” in Charleston and their wedding day was absolute perfection. We had the best weather, the city to ourselves, and it was amazing to see them both surrounded by so much love, happiness, and support.
We started their day off with a sweet First Look in historic downtown Charleston. Andrew’s reaction when he turned around to see his bride for the first time was so special. We spent about an hour visiting some special places around the city and grabbing some beautiful portraits, then we met up with their bridal party for group photos. Allison + Andrew are truly lucky to have such amazing people standing by their side!
Allison + Andrew said “I do!” in a beautiful ceremony at First Baptist Church, then everyone headed back to Planters Inn for the seated dinner reception. After cutting the cake, Allison + Andrew finished the night chatting with guests and reveling in the happiness of their wedding day. I am so honored to have been able to document such a beautiful day. Here are some of my favorites from Allison + Andrew’s intimate Charleston wedding at Planters Inn…

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 […]

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 […]
When I first started second shooting in 2011, I’ll admit… I had NO IDEA what I was doing. I was pretty good with my camera, technically. I could shoot in manual mode and had some understanding of flash. However, I wasn’t entirely sure of my role as a second shooter and had no idea exactly […]

It has plenty of indoor space that you can use in case of inclement weather. The rooms are beautifully decorated in a classic style that complements the overall aesthetic of the property. […]
