Mid-February weather in Charleston can be pretty dicey. Traditionally, February is the coldest month and it’s usually the slowest month for weddings in town. Lucky for Lauren + Andrew, their mid-February wedding day was UNBELIEVABLE!! Slightly overcast, a light breeze, and 80+ degrees outside… say what?! It’s true. I’m fairly certain that we were all sweating at some point during the day. It was incredible and I’m so happy that they had the BEST wedding day weather you could ask for in February!
Their day started with a sweet First Look, followed by bride + groom portraits in the Ansonborough neighborhood of downtown Charleston. Lauren’s beloved dog and official Mutt of Honor, Murphy, joined them for photos and he was just so handsome in his Crew LaLa bowtie collar. Before long, Lauren + Andrew were saying their vows in a beautiful ceremony officiated by their friend, Lauren. Surrounded only by their immediate families and best friends, they said “I do!” in style in a beautiful intimate elopement orchestrated by the ladies of Pure Luxe Bride. Before heading downtown for dinner, the couple cut their wedding cake and toasted to a life of love and happiness together. It was such an honor to document such an amazing day for Lauren, Andrew, and their families. Here are some of my favorites from their AMAZING wedding day!

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.

Hilton Head is a special place to Abby + Greyson, as Abby’s parents live there and she’s been visiting the area for years.

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 […]
