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…

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! I feel extremely lucky that I was able to experience such a tremendous year of growth and travel. Here are some of […]
This colorful winter wedding at Sea Pines Resort was the perfect way to start 2024. On one of the coldest days of the year, Caitlyn + Mark said “I do!” on the iconic 18th lawn at Harbourtown Links, overlooking the Calibogue Sound. Surrounded by their closest family + friends, their day was everything that Caitlyn […]
