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…

I met up with Dawn + Joey in February for their beautiful engagement session here in Charleston. They brought their two beautiful pups, Willow + Cricket, along for part of the session… and boy, did they have a blast at Hampton Park?!? I am totally OBSESSED with the photos of them walking together (below) because […]
Audra + Rahul’s beautiful traditional Indian wedding in Charleston was definitely one for the books. I absolutely LOVE everything about South Asian/Indian weddings… the colors, the attire, the music, the food, the traditions, the rituals, the family element, the dancing. There really is nothing like it and if I could specialize in shooting only South […]
From the very first time I spoke with Martha Camille, I knew that her Boone Hall wedding was going to be EPIC. I also knew that she was going to be a dream client for me – and she absolutely was! I love all of my couples, but it’s so extra special when someone has […]
When Martha Camille told me that she wanted to recreate her mother’s studio bridal portraits, I’ll admit… I was a little hesitant. I’ve never done studio bridal portraits before and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to bring her vision to life. As a creative, I love doing things that are outside of […]
2023 was definitely one of the best years yet for my business. I had the honor of working with so many fabulous couples, in so many fabulous locations… including Spain, Italy, and Hawaii! I feel extremely lucky that I was able to experience such a tremendous year of growth and travel. Here are some of […]
This colorful winter wedding at Sea Pines Resort was the perfect way to start 2024. On one of the coldest days of the year, Caitlyn + Mark said “I do!” on the iconic 18th lawn at Harbourtown Links, overlooking the Calibogue Sound. Surrounded by their closest family + friends, their day was everything that Caitlyn […]
