Mandy + Daniel’s wedding day was everything a wedding should be – laid back, simple, beautiful, and most of all… FUN!! I love when my couples focus on creating a wedding day that is reflective of their personalities and Mandy + Daniel’s day was definitely that! From Mandy’s whimsical bohemian-inspired dress, to their gorgeous invitation suite, the guys’ succulent boutonnieres, and the bridesmaid’s mix-and-match dresses in various shades of burgundy, red, and pink… everything was coordinated, but not matchy-matchy and it was a JOY to photograph!
Their day started with a sweet First Look in downtown Charleston, followed by bride and groom portraits in the historic district. Their bridal party joined us downtown for photos, then we all headed over to the Rice Mill for their ceremony. Mandy + Daniel said “I do!” in a sweet ceremony officiated by Mandy’s brother. Their personal vows brought everyone to tears… me included!! Their love is so special and it was so evident throughout their ceremony.
After some sunset photos on the water, it was time to party! Mandy + Daniel treated their guests to traditional lowcountry fare and then spent the rest of the night tearing up the dance floor. At the end of the night, they exited through a tunnel of glow sticks. The perfect end to an amazing day! Here are some of my favorites from Mandy + Daniel’s whimsical winter wedding at the Rice Mill…

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 […]
