I have been anxiously anticipating Kelly + Josh’s wedding for well over a year now. I can still remember our first time chatting on the phone. As soon as Kelly mentioned her love of bright colors, incorporating lots of personal touches, and wanting to do a Second Line between the ceremony and reception, I was hooked! Lucky for me, they ended up booking me and the rest is history! I’m not entirely sure what expectations I had for their wedding day, but I know that they were definitely exceeded. Kelly + Josh’s day was more beautiful than I ever could’ve imagine and I absolutely loved how involved they were in the design + details of their day. They incorporated so many beautiful, meaningful touches – from the beautiful doors from India that greeted their guests at the ceremony site, to the custom made pillows and hand-painted invitations by Kelly’s mom, to the custom painting commissioned by famed New Orleans painter Simon, to the ceremony being conducted in Spanish in honor of their Latino heritage… every single detail of their wedding day had special meaning to this incredible couple, which made it so much fun to document.
And let’s not forget the Second Line after their ceremony. OH MY GOSH!! It was so cool!! I loved watching Kelly + Josh lead the way in celebration with all of their wedding guests. Everyone had a blast, waving their personalized handkerchiefs in the air as they made their way from the park to the plantation house. It really was so much fun! Old Wide Awake Plantation continues to be one of my very favorite venues in Charleston and, for certain, Kelly + Josh’s wedding day will remain one that I always hold close to my heart for oh-so-many reasons. Here are some of my favorites from their gorgeous wedding day…

Some wedding days are beautiful. Others are joyful. And then there are the rare ones that feel like joy in motion – the kind you can feel in every frame, every laugh, every stolen glance. Rachel and Mac’s wedding at Magnolia Plantation was exactly that. From the very beginning, they chose to experience the day […]
For Jennie, Sea Pines has never been just a wedding destination – it’s home. Long before this day, she spent summers working in Harbour Town, learning its rhythms, its light, and the way life slows down just enough on Hilton Head Island. So when it came time to choose where she and Greg would get […]
Some places hold more than memories – they hold generations. For Madeline + Porter, Hilton Head wasn’t just a beautiful setting for their wedding day at Sea Pines Resort; it was part of their family story long before they ever said “I do.” With both of their parents having been married on Hilton Head and […]
Nine years of growing up together gives you a certain steadiness – the kind that doesn’t panic when plans unravel. That quiet confidence defined Walker + Addi Grace’s wedding day at Boone Hall, even as steady rain reshaped nearly every detail of their celebration. High school sweethearts who met as freshmen and now call Columbia, […]
Some wedding days unfold exactly as planned. Others ask you to let go, adapt, and trust what matters most. Lauren and Billy’s wedding at Sea Pines Resort in Hilton Head was very much the latter – and in many ways, that’s what made it so meaningful. Elegant, sophisticated, and deeply classic in style, their day […]
Mayzie + Hyrum’s intimate celebration at the Ocean Course on Kiawah gave me allllll of the Ralph Lauren vibes. When I look back at these images, I’m instantly transported – there’s something so Americana and nostalgic about the day, in the best possible way. Maybe it’s the classic blue hydrangea bouquet, effortlessly timeless. Maybe it’s […]
