On the same weekend last year, I photographed Mallory’s sister, Stacy’s, wedding at the Gadsden House – and I knew an engagement was on the horizon for Mallory. One year later, it was Mallory’s turn to say “I do!” to the love of her life, Brian, at the William Aiken House and I am SOOOOO grateful to have been the one they chose to document such an important day! Now that both Verner daughters are officially married, I’m thinking a yearly anniversary party needs to happen so that we can all come together again to celebrate this amazing family!
Mallory + Brian’s wedding day was incredible. It started with a sweet First Look and some bride + groom portraits, then we jumped right into bridal party photos since rain was threatening the area all day long. Lucky for us, it didn’t rain AT ALL… except about 10 minutes before the end of the reception, when the skies opened up and it POURED rain during their sparkler exit!! It was definitely a fun way to end the evening! Mallory + Brian chose an amazing color palette for their big day and the florals by Roadside Blooms were perfection!! Did you happen to see Mallory’s bouquet?!? HOLY MOLY!! It was a beast and oh-so-pretty. Seriously, one of my all-time favorite bouquets!! Sage green accents were the perfect pop of summer color and I love how they incorporated gemstones + geometric elements into their wedding decor… a sweet nod to Brian’s love of collecting fossils + rocks. It was the perfect summer celebration, for sure! Here are some of my favorites from Mallory + Brian’s garden party inspired summer wedding at the William Aiken House in downtown Charleston…

Ashley + Kyle’s wedding day was, in a word, magic. These two share such a beautiful love and I am beyond thankful to have witnessed it first hand. Ashley is pure JOY in human form and she absolutely glows in Kyle’s presence. The way they look at each other and care for each other is […]
From the moment I first spoke to Sandra, I knew her wedding day was going to be something special. She had a clear vision of a day filled with special details, personalized moments, and a celebration of love that was truly unique to her and Matt’s love story. Being in the fashion world, I knew […]
There’s something undeniably magical about Charleston SC. The cobblestone alleyways, the historic charm, and the gentle breeze off of the water – which creates the perfect setting for love to flourish. When I had the opportunity to capture Hannah + Ashley’s engagement session on an overcast day this past September, I knew it would be […]
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 […]
