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!

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 […]
