In the days leading up to Lindsay + Adam’s wedding day, we were both watching the weather closely. With rain in the forecast, we made the decision to do their First Look and portraits early in the morning – which ended up being the best decision ever! Our timing was pretty much perfect, because as soon as we got to our cars after portraits, it started to rain… and then it continued to rain for the rest of the day.
We knew we would need to figure out a rain plan for their ceremony. Our original plan for Hampton Park just wouldn’t work well in the rain. I reached out to Linda at the Thomas Bennett House and she absolutely saved the day. I am SO grateful to her for allowing Lindsay, Adam, and their 15 wedding guests to use their front porch for their ceremony at the very last minute. We utilized chairs from inside the house and put together a makeshift ceremony site… and I think it was pure perfection! As the rain fell, Lindsay + Adam said “I do!” surrounded by their closest family + friends. It was so romantic and so beautiful… I’m just so happy it all worked out for us!!
Linda, I cannot thank you enough for saving the day and making me look like a hero. You are absolutely wonderful for allowing us to use the porch at the very last minute. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Here are some of my favorites from Lindsay + Adam’s sweet rainy day elopement…

I met up with Dawn + Joey in February for their beautiful engagement session here in Charleston. They brought their two beautiful pups, Willow + Cricket, along for part of the session… and boy, did they have a blast at Hampton Park?!? I am totally OBSESSED with the photos of them walking together (below) because […]
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 […]
