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…

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 […]
Maren and Kevin’s wedding at Ford Field + River Club in Savannah was the kind of day that felt effortlessly relaxed from beginning to end.
