I knew from the very first time I met Kayla + Scott that they were a DCW couple and I left our first meeting with my fingers crossed that they would choose me as their wedding photographer. Luckily, they DID choose me to document their wedding day and it was simply amazing. Kayla + Scott are such genuine, fun-loving, gracious, and kind people – and their families are just as fabulous! It was such an honor to document this perfect day for them all and I can’t thank them enough for allowing me to be a part of it all.
So let’s talk about Kayla’s dress. I mean, COME ON!! It was a showstopper, for sure – and Scott looked so dapper with his white dinner jacket. The two of them together looked like they stepped right out of a classic movie! Kayla + Scott shared a sweet First Look in one of my favorite gardens at Magnolia, then we took some time to explore the property – and Kayla + Scott climbed into a tree!! See? They really ARE a DCW couple!!
They said “I do” with the beautiful white bridge in the background, then spent the rest of cocktail hour touring the property with me taking more photos. I was in heaven! Guests enjoyed cocktail hour in front of the Veranda and as soon as the bridal party was introduced into the reception, the skies opened up and it began to pour down rain. Thank you, Mother Nature, for waiting until dark to rain!! Kayla + Scott didn’t leave the dance floor all night and everyone had a great time celebrating the newlyweds. At the end of the night, Kayla + Scott left through a tunnel of sparklers and jumped into a classic getaway car. It was the perfect ending to their beautiful 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 […]
