Kelsey + TJ’s wedding day was the perfect way to start the month of October and, to be honest, the weather definitely felt more like mid-summer than the beginning of fall. Despite the record breaking heat on their wedding day, these two threw one EPIC party and everything was picture perfect from start to finish. We started their day out on Isle of Palms, where everyone got ready. Kelsey + TJ opted not to see each other before the ceremony, so we made sure to keep them hidden from each other until then. And let’s just talk about their ceremony… it was so sweet, so personal, and so beautiful!! I loved watching TJ’s face as Kelsey made her way down the aisle and after they were pronounced husband + wife, they couldn’t stop smiling!!
After combined family formals + bridal party photos, I spent portrait time with Kelsey + TJ exploring the property while their guests enjoyed cocktail hour. The lighting was BEAUTIFUL and their portraits are some of my very favorite bride + groom portraits to date!! As the sun set, Kelsey + TJ shared their First Dance as husband + wife and then spent the rest of the evening celebrating with their closest family + friends. Let me tell you… these guests knew how to DANCE and, of course, DJ Wade kept the dance floor packed all night! At the end of the evening, Kelsey + TJ exited through a tunnel of sparklers… an epic ending to an epic day! Here are some of my favorites from Kelsey + TJ’s beautiful fall wedding at Boone Hall Plantation…

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 […]
Dawn + Joey’s classic coastal summer wedding at Dataw Island Club was truly one that I will never forget. Every single detail was so thoughtfully curated and it was such an honor to be a part of their full wedding weekend. From their cozy rehearsal dinner the night before, to their epic celebration on the […]
I love it when my couples opt to do an engagement session with me before their wedding day. While it’s by no means necessary, I always really love getting to know my couples before the wedding day – and I also love being able to take some epic photos of them during this special time […]
From the very first time I spoke with Caroline, I knew that her wedding day was going to be so special. With just their immediate families in attendance, Caroline + Kevin’s day was centered around family – and they wanted to begin their life together surrounded by the people who love them the most in […]
