Kristine + Ryan pulled off the ultimate surprise wedding last Monday and it was incredible. They invited Kristine’s parents and Ryan’s sister (and her family) to join them in Charleston for Thanksgiving. When everyone arrived, Kristine + Ryan told them the real reason they were all in Charleston… for their wedding!! Needless to say, everyone was so excited and two days after the big reveal to their families, Kristine + Ryan got married!!
Kristine + Ryan chose the Unitarian Church in downtown Charleston for their ceremony because they fell in love with its beautiful ornate ceiling. They recited personal vows to each other during their sweet ceremony before heading out to Middleton Place for their beautiful garden reception. Kristine + Ryan shared their First Dance together as husband + wife, cut their cake, and then spent the afternoon celebrating with their families. I’m so honored to have been a part of their incredible day!! Here are some of my favorites from Kristine + Ryan’s intimate surprise elopement in Charleston…

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 […]
