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…

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 […]
Lauren + Matt are the embodiment of pure, unfiltered JOY. The way these two look at each other. The way they smile from ear to ear when they are next to each other. Absolute, contagious, electric joy. I truly feel so lucky to have been in the presence of their love. It’s a love that […]
In May, I headed to Atlanta for Lynsey + Tyler’s romantic wedding at Summerour Studio. I knew their wedding weekend was going to be special and it absolutely was! Their celebration started with a beautiful rehearsal dinner at the Peachtree Club, overlooking the city. It was so great to meet all of their VIP’s the […]
I first met Tori back in 2016 when I photographed her older sister Kiersten’s wedding. Little did I know then that I would go on to photograph their sister Chelsea’s wedding in 2021 – and finally Tori’s wedding in 2024! Legacy clients are so special and the Stolen family means so much to me. They […]
When I first spoke to Elizabeth last June, I knew that her wedding day was going to be something special. She spoke about getting married in her hometown of Beaufort SC – first, a sweet ceremony at her local church, followed by a tented waterfront celebration filled with bright colors and palm accents. Elizabeth wanted […]
