I’ve wanted to shoot in Savannah for years now. I absolutely LOVE Savannah, but for whatever reason, I never had the chance… until two weeks ago. Lauren + Patrick’s wedding day was AMAZING and I’m so thankful that Mother Nature blessed them with a gorgeous winter day. After 24 hours of pouring rain, the sun came out just as Lauren stepped into her gown… perfect timing!!
When we were talking through their wedding day timeline, Lauren suggested doing all of their pre-ceremony photos at Bethesda Academy. OMG you guys!! This place is MAGICAL!! I fell in love while I was location scouting and it was everything I envisioned and more on their wedding day! The Spanish Moss, the majestic oak trees, the marsh… I was in heaven! Lauren + Patrick shared a sweet First Look before we took full advantage of Bethesda’s natural beauty for their portraits. Before long, their bridal party arrived for group photos and it was amazing to see them surrounded by so much love + joy.
After a romantic ceremony at their local church, everyone headed to the Plantation Club for their reception. It was a true winter wonderland inside that ballroom, complete with beautiful, tall floral arrangements and flowers literally dripping from the ceiling over the dance floor. HOLY MOLY!!! It was absolutely stunning. Lauren, Patrick, their friends + family danced the night away as Right to Party kept the dance floor packed all night. They were such a fun band – highly recommended!! At the end of the night, Lauren + Patrick exited through a tunnel of sparklers and jumped into a golf cart. I’d say my first wedding in Savannah was a major success and I’m so excited to share some of my favorites from Lauren + Patrick’s magical winter wedding…

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 […]
