All of my brides are amazing, but Maggie? She’s a special kind of amazing! This girl emailed ME the day after her wedding, en route to her honeymoon, to thank me for being there with them on their wedding day. WHAT?!?! Photographers dream of having clients that completely trust them. Clients who give them the creative freedom to make decisions about locations, posing, styling, weather, timelines… Maggie gave me all of that and more! After a long wedding season full of self-doubt and self-criticism, it was just the confidence boost I needed. I truly thrive when clients trust me and I think it really shows in my work. So, thank you Maggie – for being such a JOY to work with throughout the entire process!! Your trust in me meant so so much!!
Maggie + Mike’s day started at Hampton Park, where they shared a sweet First Look before starting portraits. Mike kept telling us that he was SO glad they decided to do a First Look and that was music to my ears. I truly believe that every couple should do a First Look on their wedding day. It truly makes the day more laid back, easy, and memorable!! Soon enough, we were joined by their bridal party and let me just say… they have an incredible group of friends + family! Everyone was so kind, so patient, so cooperative. I mean, seriously – this wedding was my DREAM wedding!!
After group photos in the park, we headed to their venue for the ceremony. Maggie + Mike said “I do!” in front of their closest family + friends, reciting personal vows that BOTH referenced Jay Cutler, ex-quarterback of the Chicago Bears. After the ceremony, they laughed about how they both mentioned him in their vows to each other. It was so sweet!! Maggie + Mike spent the rest of the night dancing and celebrating with their family + friends. It was a truly joyous evening and I’m so lucky that I was able to be a part of it all. Here are some of my favorites from Maggie + Mike’s beautiful wedding at the Cedar Room in Charleston, SC…

Hilton Head is a special place to Abby + Greyson, as Abby’s parents live there and she’s been visiting the area for years. I always love how the magic of Hilton Head and Sea Pines brings families together on such an incredible day. This September wedding day at Sea Pines started off with torrential rain […]
Somehow, it’s already February and I just realized that I haven’t posted my year-end recap from 2024. Yikes! Better late than never, I suppose! If I’m being totally honest and transparent, 2024 was a difficult year for me + my mindset. Self-doubt, not knowing where I “fit in”, feeling jealousy of other photographers, and not […]
I met up with Nicole + Thomas last summer for their engagement session out on Folly Beach. They found me through another one of my couples, whose wedding I photographed at Sea Pines last winter, and I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their Charleston wedding! I loved spending the evening with them […]
Dawn + Joey’s classic coastal summer wedding at Dataw Island Club was truly one that I will never forget. Every single detail was so thoughtfully curated and it was such an honor to be a part of their full wedding weekend. From their cozy rehearsal dinner the night before, to their epic celebration on the […]
I love it when my couples opt to do an engagement session with me before their wedding day. While it’s by no means necessary, I always really love getting to know my couples before the wedding day – and I also love being able to take some epic photos of them during this special time […]
From the very first time I spoke with Caroline, I knew that her wedding day was going to be so special. With just their immediate families in attendance, Caroline + Kevin’s day was centered around family – and they wanted to begin their life together surrounded by the people who love them the most in […]
