Just after the Labor Day weekend last September, I met up with Katie at the William Aiken House for her bridal portrait session. She was originally supposed to get married last October, but Mother Nature had other plans… she was one of the many brides impacted by Hurricane Matthew. After a stressful week of weather-watching, Katie + her fiance Scott decided they would postpone their wedding in favor of getting married in May 2017. Although I was already booked on their rescheduled wedding date, associate photographer Emily was able to be there with them on their wedding day and I can’t wait to share the photos from their amazing wedding day.
However, I was still lucky enough to do both their engagement session and Katie’s bridal portraits… and this bridal portrait session is my very favorite bridal portrait session EVER!!! It’s been SO HARD to keep these gorgeous photos under wraps for the past 9 months!!! From the moment Katie stepped into her beautiful silk + lace gown, her radiant smile didn’t stop. She looked so elegant + chic… the epitome of a modern southern bride! After shooting at the William Aiken House, we drove over to Lowndes Grove for some quick photos under the oaks… and it was the perfect finale to this amazing bridal portrait session. Here are some of my favorites from Katie’s downtown Charleston bridal portraits…

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 […]
