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!

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. 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 […]
