I’m pretty sure Kira was the only bride in Charleston on her wedding day that was hoping for the skies to stay cloudy and overcast! Although it’s a photographer’s dream for those conditions, brides usually want sun… and lots of it. Not Kira. She loves the moody, romantic feel of an overcast day – and for the most part, she got her wish! Although the sun did peek out a few times later in the afternoon, we were blessed with great weather for their wedding day.
The day started with a sweet First Look in Flowerdale garden, followed by portraits around the stunning grounds of Magnolia Plantation. We met up with their fabulous bridal party on the avenue of oaks, then headed to the Carriage House for their ceremony under a beautiful oak tree. The reception space looked INCREDIBLE, thanks to the ladies of Pure Luxe Bride. It was such a romantic + warm design… I loved it!! Guests enjoyed a variety of lowcountry-inspired cuisine, then danced the night away before Kira + Brent exited through a tunnel of glow sticks. Here are some of my favorites from Kira + Brent’s romantic glam wedding at Magnolia Plantation…

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 […]
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 […]
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. Little did I know then that I would go on to photograph their sister Chelsea’s wedding in 2021 – and finally Tori’s wedding in 2024! 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 […]
