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…

Audra + Rahul’s beautiful traditional Indian wedding in Charleston was definitely one for the books. I absolutely LOVE everything about South Asian/Indian weddings… the colors, the attire, the music, the food, the traditions, the rituals, the family element, the dancing. There really is nothing like it and if I could specialize in shooting only South […]
From the very first time I spoke with Martha Camille, I knew that her Boone Hall wedding was going to be EPIC. I also knew that she was going to be a dream client for me – and she absolutely was! I love all of my couples, but it’s so extra special when someone has […]
When Martha Camille told me that she wanted to recreate her mother’s studio bridal portraits, I’ll admit… I was a little hesitant. I’ve never done studio bridal portraits before and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to bring her vision to life. As a creative, I love doing things that are outside of […]
2023 was definitely one of the best years yet for my business. I had the honor of working with so many fabulous couples, in so many fabulous locations… including Spain, Italy, and Hawaii! I feel extremely lucky that I was able to experience such a tremendous year of growth and travel. Here are some of […]
This colorful winter wedding at Sea Pines Resort was the perfect way to start 2024. On one of the coldest days of the year, Caitlyn + Mark said “I do!” on the iconic 18th lawn at Harbourtown Links, overlooking the Calibogue Sound. Surrounded by their closest family + friends, their day was everything that Caitlyn […]
When I first started second shooting in 2011, I’ll admit… I had NO IDEA what I was doing. I was pretty good with my camera, technically. I could shoot in manual mode and had some understanding of flash. However, I wasn’t entirely sure of my role as a second shooter and had no idea exactly […]
