Lauren + Matt are the embodiment of pure, unfiltered JOY. The way these two look at each other. The way they smile from ear to ear when they are next to each other. Absolute, contagious, electric joy. I truly feel so lucky to have been in the presence of their love. It’s a love that can be seen and felt by anyone who is anywhere near them. A love that, quite frankly, feels like what you only find in fairy tales. This day was one that I will never forget and one that I feel so lucky to have gotten to document. Their day started at The Sanctuary on Kiawah – a place that has been so special to Lauren’s family for years. And a place that is now so special to Matt + Lauren forever.
Their traditional Jewish ceremony took place under the most gorgeous chuppah and the smile on Lauren’s face just says it all. After being pronounced as husband and wife, Lauren + Matt were joined by their wedding party + family members for formal photos on the front lawn. Everyone was in the best of spirits and I loved watching everyone celebrate these two after such a heart-warming ceremony. Cocktail hour followed, then guests were invited into the ballroom for a multi-course dinner. We snuck out for some sunset photos, then Lauren + Matt spent the rest of the night on the dance floor together. I LOVE when my couples park themselves on the dance floor all night! It really keeps the party going strong when the bride + groom are front and center with their guests! The party went until late into the night and it really was the best day for Lauren + Matt. I’m forever grateful to be a part of their love story and here are some of my favorite images from their beautiful Kiawah wedding at The Sanctuary…

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 […]

In May, I headed to Atlanta for Lynsey + Tyler’s romantic wedding at Summerour Studio. I knew their wedding weekend was going to be special and it absolutely was! Their celebration started with a beautiful rehearsal dinner at the Peachtree Club, overlooking the city. It was so great to meet all of their VIP’s the […]
I first met Tori back in 2016 when I photographed her older sister Kiersten’s wedding.

Legacy clients are so special and the Stolen family means so much to me. They […]
When I first spoke to Elizabeth last June, I knew that her wedding day was going to be something special. She spoke about getting married in her hometown of Beaufort SC – first, a sweet ceremony at her local church, followed by a tented waterfront celebration filled with bright colors and palm accents. Elizabeth wanted […]
