The entire week leading up to Kaitlyn + Paul’s wedding day, the forecast didn’t look good. All sunshiny days on the calendar except for their day – the percentage of storm chances ranging anywhere from 50-80%. When I emailed Kaitlyn to ask her about a rain plan, her response was resolute: It’s not going to rain. And it didn’t!! In true Charleston weather fashion, the skies cleared and there wasn’t even a speck of rain on their fabulous day!
We started off with a sweet First Look along the Avenue of Oaks at Boone Hall Plantation and then we were joined by their beloved pit bull, Turner, who was the perfect gentleman! Their bridal party arrived to join in on the fun and before we knew it, we were all on our way downtown for their traditional ceremony at Second Presbyterian Church. Afterwards, everyone headed back to Boone Hall Plantation for their gorgeous reception overlooking Horlbeck Creek at the Cotton Dock. As the sun set, Kaitlyn + Paul shared their First Dance as husband + wife, then danced the night away with their closest friends + family. Their band was AMAZING and at the end of the night, the newlyweds exited through a tunnel of sparklers. Here are some of my favorites from Kaitlyn + Paul’s rustic Southern wedding at Boone Hall…

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 […]
In May, I headed to Atlanta for Lynsey + Tyler’s romantic wedding at Summerour Studio. I knew their wedding weekend was going to be special and it absolutely was! Their celebration started with a beautiful rehearsal dinner at the Peachtree Club, overlooking the city. It was so great to meet all of their VIP’s the […]
I first met Tori back in 2016 when I photographed her older sister Kiersten’s wedding. Little did I know then that I would go on to photograph their sister Chelsea’s wedding in 2021 – and finally Tori’s wedding in 2024! Legacy clients are so special and the Stolen family means so much to me. They […]
When I first spoke to Elizabeth last June, I knew that her wedding day was going to be something special. She spoke about getting married in her hometown of Beaufort SC – first, a sweet ceremony at her local church, followed by a tented waterfront celebration filled with bright colors and palm accents. Elizabeth wanted […]
