Texas residents Kristen + James chose Charleston for their destination wedding because of Kristen’s ties to South Carolina and their shared love of the architecture + history that makes it so charming. They fell in love with the porches at Old Wide Awake Plantation, which ended up being the perfect spot for them to say “I do!” and celebrate with their closest family + friends. Their day started with a sweet First Look at the park, followed by photos with their bridal party at the main house. The guys looked oh-so-dapper in navy suits + cowboy boots, while the girls glammed it up with champagne sequined gowns. The bright, colorful florals were the icing on the cake… and speaking of cake, their gold foil semi-naked cake was a showstopper! Guests dined on traditional lowcountry favorites like shrimp + grits and macaroni + cheese… then they danced the night away before sending Kristen + James off through a tunnel of sparklers. It was a beautiful day and I’m so honored that I was able to document it all for them. Here are some of my favorites from Kristen + James’ beautiful Old Wide Awake wedding…

Dawn + Joey’s classic coastal summer wedding at Dataw Island Club was truly one that I will never forget.

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 […]
