Let me start off by saying that I absolutely ADORE Katie + Michael. Their relationship and love is something that everyone should aspire to have in their lives. They speak so highly of each other, even when they are apart from each other, and they are both so grateful for each other – which is something that I’ve learned is SO important in a relationship. I was just in awe of them all day. It was absolutely magical to watch them together.
Katie + Michael have been together for 13 years now. Yup – 13 years!! They’ve been through so much together, so this day was a long time coming. Katie + Michael started their day with a sweet First Look. As Katie stepped out of my car and saw Michael’s back turned towards her, she started to cry. She said to me “I am just so excited to marry this man!” and I could honestly feel her excitement deep in my soul. These two are bonafide soulmates. As soon as they saw each other, everything else disappeared. They were in their own little world of happiness and it was a joy to witness!
After some portraits downtown, we swung by Michael’s old apartment on Rutledge Avenue to take some photos out front. This was a special place for them and I loved that we were able to take some photos somewhere so meaningful to them. Before long, Katie + Michael were reciting their vows in front of their family + friends at St Luke’s Chapel and then their celebration continued over at the Charleston Harbor Resort. The dancefloor was PACKED all night… their friends + family really know how to party!! At the end of the night, Katie + Michael exited through a tunnel of sparklers and hopped onto a golf cart. It was amazing! Here are some of my favorites from Katie + Michael’s Charleston wedding…

Ashley + Kyle’s wedding day was, in a word, magic. These two share such a beautiful love and I am beyond thankful to have witnessed it first hand. Ashley is pure JOY in human form and she absolutely glows in Kyle’s presence. The way they look at each other and care for each other is […]
From the moment I first spoke to Sandra, I knew her wedding day was going to be something special. She had a clear vision of a day filled with special details, personalized moments, and a celebration of love that was truly unique to her and Matt’s love story. Being in the fashion world, I knew […]
There’s something undeniably magical about Charleston SC. The cobblestone alleyways, the historic charm, and the gentle breeze off of the water – which creates the perfect setting for love to flourish. When I had the opportunity to capture Hannah + Ashley’s engagement session on an overcast day this past September, I knew it would be […]
Hilton Head is a special place to Abby + Greyson, as Abby’s parents live there and she’s been visiting the area for years. I always love how the magic of Hilton Head and Sea Pines brings families together on such an incredible day. This September wedding day at Sea Pines started off with torrential rain […]
Somehow, it’s already February and I just realized that I haven’t posted my year-end recap from 2024. Yikes! Better late than never, I suppose! If I’m being totally honest and transparent, 2024 was a difficult year for me + my mindset. Self-doubt, not knowing where I “fit in”, feeling jealousy of other photographers, and not […]
I met up with Nicole + Thomas last summer for their engagement session out on Folly Beach. They found me through another one of my couples, whose wedding I photographed at Sea Pines last winter, and I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their Charleston wedding! I loved spending the evening with them […]
