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…

Sarah and Jake have been together for ten years. That kind of history shows up in subtle ways – in ease, in trust, in the way two people move through a day without needing to perform. Living in New York City, with Jake’s parents based in Charleston, Planters Inn felt like a natural place for […]
Some wedding days are carefully planned. Others unfold exactly the way they’re meant to. Melissa and Eric originally hired me to photograph their elopement closer to home near Lake Wylie. But when Melissa’s father became ill, everything shifted. Plans were paused, priorities reordered, and space was made for what mattered most. When the time felt […]
There’s something about being near the water that instantly slows everything down. Jordan and Greg were married at the Cottages at Charleston Harbor, and their wedding day unfolded with the kind of ease that can only be felt. An al fresco, tented celebration by the harbor, layered with soft light, movement, and color, it was […]
Sarah + Steven’s wedding day began quietly, in the best way. Beautiful light filtered into the girls’ getting ready suite at The Omni Hilton Head, where Sarah was getting ready – not alone, but alongside two very important people — Steve’s daughters, Lana and Leah. Joined also by her mother and sister, they laughed, helped, […]
This year FLEW by! I feel like I blinked and we’re just 3 days away from the New Year. It’s been a quick one, but it’s also been a great one. Personally, I’ve grown by leaps and bounds. Creatively, I’m rediscovering myself. 2025 was a year for getting back to my roots and undoing some […]
Some couples know exactly what they want. Not because they’ve seen it everywhere, but because it feels true to them. Alyse and Greg were that kind of couple. From our very first phone call, Alyse described her vision in just a few words: romantic, moody, editorial. No big production. No venue. No audience. Just the […]
