Beautiful bride Kate is an interior designer and she knew she wanted a clean, modern vibe for her wedding with a soft color palette. Inspired by her love of bamboo, Lauren of ELM Events designed a beautiful, unique reception space that was anything but ordinary. From the beautiful lounge, to the use of modern ghost chairs + stools, to the amazing hanging plant chandeliers courtesy of Branch Design Studio… it was such a perfect blend of simple, modern + organic design that fit Kate + Mike’s aesthetic and personality to a T!
Kate + Mike’s wedding day started downtown with a sweet First Look, followed by portraits with their beloved French Bulldog, Seamus, and their bridal party. They said “I do!” at a traditional Catholic ceremony at Kate’s grandmother’s church in West Ashley, then headed over to the Rice Mill to celebrate with their closest family + friends. Despite an epic rain storm that blew through the area during their ceremony, it was still such an amazing day filled with smiles + laughter. Enjoy some of my favorites from Kate + Mike’s modern Charleston wedding at the Rice Mill…

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.

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.
