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…

Audra + Rahul’s beautiful traditional Indian wedding in Charleston was definitely one for the books. I absolutely LOVE everything about South Asian/Indian weddings… the colors, the attire, the music, the food, the traditions, the rituals, the family element, the dancing. There really is nothing like it and if I could specialize in shooting only South […]
From the very first time I spoke with Martha Camille, I knew that her Boone Hall wedding was going to be EPIC. I also knew that she was going to be a dream client for me – and she absolutely was! I love all of my couples, but it’s so extra special when someone has […]
When Martha Camille told me that she wanted to recreate her mother’s studio bridal portraits, I’ll admit… I was a little hesitant. I’ve never done studio bridal portraits before and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to bring her vision to life. As a creative, I love doing things that are outside of […]
2023 was definitely one of the best years yet for my business. I had the honor of working with so many fabulous couples, in so many fabulous locations… including Spain, Italy, and Hawaii! I feel extremely lucky that I was able to experience such a tremendous year of growth and travel. Here are some of […]
This colorful winter wedding at Sea Pines Resort was the perfect way to start 2024. On one of the coldest days of the year, Caitlyn + Mark said “I do!” on the iconic 18th lawn at Harbourtown Links, overlooking the Calibogue Sound. Surrounded by their closest family + friends, their day was everything that Caitlyn […]
When I first started second shooting in 2011, I’ll admit… I had NO IDEA what I was doing. I was pretty good with my camera, technically. I could shoot in manual mode and had some understanding of flash. However, I wasn’t entirely sure of my role as a second shooter and had no idea exactly […]
