Fall wedding season officially began last weekend with Kristy + Charles’ beautiful wedding at Champions Retreat Golf Club just outside of Augusta, Georgia. I absolutely ADORE Kristy + Charles and I had been looking forward to their wedding for a long, long time. They both greeted me with huge hugs and their excitement about everything was so energizing. They said “yes” to every wild idea I had and they were just so trusting of me + my vision. It was an absolutely AMAZING day from start to finish and it was honestly the BEST way to kick off the fall wedding season!
Their day started with a sweet First Look under a small grove of trees on the golf course. I’m pretty sure they thought I was crazy for trekking across the fairway to get to this spot, but I’d say it was totally worth it!! We were able to find a few beautiful spots around the golf course for portraits of the two of them before meeting up with their bridal party + family for photos. Then, everyone headed to the church for their beautiful ceremony just down the road from the golf club. After they said “I do!”, everyone reconvened at Champions Retreat for celebrate. The dance floor was packed all night and I’m fairly certain that Kristy never left it! At the end of the night, Kristy + Charles exited through a tunnel of sparklers and hopped on a golf cart. It was an amazing end to an amazing day. Here are some of my favorites from their wedding day…

Ashley + Kyle’s wedding day was, in a word, magic. These two share such a beautiful love and I am beyond thankful to have witnessed it first hand. Ashley is pure JOY in human form and she absolutely glows in Kyle’s presence. The way they look at each other and care for each other is […]
From the moment I first spoke to Sandra, I knew her wedding day was going to be something special. She had a clear vision of a day filled with special details, personalized moments, and a celebration of love that was truly unique to her and Matt’s love story. Being in the fashion world, I knew […]
There’s something undeniably magical about Charleston SC. The cobblestone alleyways, the historic charm, and the gentle breeze off of the water – which creates the perfect setting for love to flourish. When I had the opportunity to capture Hannah + Ashley’s engagement session on an overcast day this past September, I knew it would be […]
Hilton Head is a special place to Abby + Greyson, as Abby’s parents live there and she’s been visiting the area for years. I always love how the magic of Hilton Head and Sea Pines brings families together on such an incredible day. This September wedding day at Sea Pines started off with torrential rain […]
Somehow, it’s already February and I just realized that I haven’t posted my year-end recap from 2024. Yikes! Better late than never, I suppose! If I’m being totally honest and transparent, 2024 was a difficult year for me + my mindset. Self-doubt, not knowing where I “fit in”, feeling jealousy of other photographers, and not […]
I met up with Nicole + Thomas last summer for their engagement session out on Folly Beach. They found me through another one of my couples, whose wedding I photographed at Sea Pines last winter, and I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their Charleston wedding! I loved spending the evening with them […]
