Associate photographer Emily had the honor of photographing Kate + Stephen’s epic wedding last weekend. Why was it so epic, you ask? Well, for starters, they threw one of the largest weddings we’ve ever photographed with roughly 350 guests AND they had the largest bridal party we’ve ever photographed… 14 bridesmaids + 21 groomsmen!!! On top of that, they had Quiana Parler perform at their reception and she’s just the best of the best. I’m actually quite jealous that Emily got to cover this wedding instead of me because I LOOOOOOVE Quiana!!!
Their day started with a sweet First Look at Christ Church, followed by bridal party + family photos before their traditional ceremony. Everyone traveled from the church to The Cedar Room at the Cigar Factory, where they celebration went strong well into the night. The dance floor was so packed that Emily had to shoot most of the reception from the stage with the band!! The bride + groom crowd surfed, everyone had a blast, and at the end of the night, Kate + Stephen exited through a tunnel of sparklers before hopping into a pedi-cab. It was a truly EPIC wedding day!! Here are some of my favorites from Kate + Stephen’s wedding day…

There’s something incredibly special about celebrating a wedding at home – especially when that home is one you’ve only just begun making your own. Molly and Erik had recently purchased their home on James Island, and instead of planning a large, traditional wedding, they invited their immediate families and closest friends to join them there […]
There was an ease to Allyson and Brian’s wedding day that made it such a joy to photograph. From the moment I arrived at The Ocean Course on Kiawah Island, everything felt relaxed, intentional, and centered on what mattered most: celebrating their marriage with the people they love. No overcomplicated timeline, no unnecessary stress – […]
After three years of being engaged and originally planning a much larger wedding, Allison and Jake decided to take a different path. Instead of a big celebration, they chose an intimate wedding day centered around what mattered most to them: each other and the people they love most. With just 19 guests in attendance – […]
When a place has been woven into your family’s traditions for years, there’s something especially meaningful about beginning your marriage there. For Addison, Kiawah Island has been a beloved part of life since childhood. So when it came time to choose a wedding location, bringing family and friends together on the island where so many […]
Charleston weather likes to keep everyone on their toes, but even by Lowcountry standards, Caroline and Cody’s wedding day was memorable. Rain fell for most of the day – a rarity in Charleston, especially when it seems determined to stick around from morning until ceremony time. Yet through every forecast update, timeline adjustment, and weather-related […]
Some wedding days are beautiful because of the details. Others are beautiful because of the people. Ansley and James’ wedding in Columbia, South Carolina was the rare combination of both. After seven years together, these two gathered their favorite people for a celebration that felt joyful, colorful, and completely centered on the relationships that matter […]
