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…

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.

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 […]
