If there’s one thing that I wish every single one of my couples would do on their wedding day, aside from a First Look, it would be to make time for photos in historic downtown Charleston on their wedding day. Regardless of where the actual ceremony + reception are taking place, it’s just so much fun to head downtown for some photos… whether it’s just the bride + groom or whether it’s the entire wedding party and/or family that comes along for the adventure!
There are a ton of transportation options to make getting downtown easy on everyone and it’s a fabulous way to spend extra time with your wedding party while capturing some truly unique photos along the way. There’s really no better way to show off this fabulous city and I can pretty much guarantee that this time downtown will be a highlight of the wedding day experience for both you AND your wedding party!
Make plans to get ready somewhere downtown and we can arrange for you to do your First Look along the quiet historic streets of Charleston before meeting up with the rest of your wedding party for some group photos! The great thing about downtown Charleston is that there are a ton of gorgeous, historic, charming locations within walking distance of each other, making it super easy to get a variety of images in a short amount of time! Making time for photos downtown on your wedding day adds so much variety to your final gallery of wedding day images and it will definitely make your overall wedding day experience that much better. I love love love when my clients opt to do this!!
Have I convinced you that this is a great idea yet? If so, let’s chat about a plan of action for heading into downtown Charleston for some amazing photos on your wedding day. It will be a blast, I promise!

There’s something undeniably magical about Charleston SC.

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 […]
