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…

Katelyn and Andrew’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of timeless elegance, meaningful family moments, and an incredible celebration with their favorite people.

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 – […]
