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…

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 […]
2023 was definitely one of the best years yet for my business. I had the honor of working with so many fabulous couples, in so many fabulous locations… including Spain, Italy, and Hawaii!
