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…

When Katie first told me about her wedding day vision – a classic brunch wedding overlooking the water at the iconic Ocean Course on Kiawah Island – I knew it was going to be such a beautiful celebration. There really isn’t anything like a Kiawah Island wedding! A custom Modern Trousseau ball gown, topped with […]
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 […]
