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…

Katelyn and Andrew’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of timeless elegance, meaningful family moments, and an incredible celebration with their favorite people. With a ceremony at St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church in Bluffton followed by a reception at the Sea Pines Harbour Town Clubhouse on Hilton Head Island, their day was filled with […]

Hannah and Chandler’s wedding day was the perfect combination of classic Charleston charm and laid-back coastal elegance. With an intimate ceremony downtown followed by a relaxed waterfront celebration on Isle of Palms, their day was filled with thoughtful details, beautiful scenery, and the people who mean the most to them. One of my favorite things […]

Taylor and Hutch’s wedding at the Pavilion at Patriots Point was colorful, stylish, and filled with so much personality. From the unexpected color palette and playful animal-print details to the incredible sailcloth tent overlooking Charleston Harbor, every part of the day felt distinctly them. Their palette mixed rich shades of brown with lilac, chartreuse, soft […]

There’s something incredibly special about celebrating a wedding at home – especially when that home is one you’ve only just begun making your own. Molly and Erik had recently purchased their home on James Island, and instead of planning a large, traditional wedding, they invited their immediate families and closest friends to join them there […]

There was an ease to Allyson and Brian’s wedding day that made it such a joy to photograph. From the moment I arrived at The Ocean Course on Kiawah Island, everything felt relaxed, intentional, and centered on what mattered most: celebrating their marriage with the people they love. No overcomplicated timeline, no unnecessary stress – […]

After three years of being engaged and originally planning a much larger wedding, Allison and Jake decided to take a different path. Instead of a big celebration, they chose an intimate wedding day centered around what mattered most to them: each other and the people they love most. With just 19 guests in attendance – […]
