Mary Fran + Ford’s wedding day was pure perfection. From the moment we arrived at their suite at The Restoration downtown, everyone was so kind + welcoming… I absolutely loved getting to know Mary Fran, her mom + her bridesmaids. They are an amazing group of women, that’s for sure! The morning flew by and everyone was so relaxed… it’s exactly what I wish for all of my couples. After Mary Fran slipped into her gorgeous beaded gown, we headed downtown to meet up with Ford for their First Look. And oh my goodness… HIS REACTION!! It was so raw, so beautiful… I was practically in tears behind the camera.
After some portrait time downtown, we headed over to the church for group photos before the ceremony. Mary Fran + Ford said “I do!” in front of their friends + family in a beautiful ceremony officiated by a family friend, which was such a special touch. Everyone made their way across the river to the country club, where the party got into full swing. Since Mary Fran is a pro golfer and Ford plays golf as well, they decided to tee off together in their wedding attire to get the party started. SO FUN!! Mary Fran’s dad hired a Frank Sinatra impersonator to entertain everyone during cocktail hour and their band was INCREDIBLE. The dance floor was packed all night and at the end of the night, they exited through a tunnel of sparklers. It was an amazing day and I’m so excited to share it with you all. Here are some of my favorites from Mary Fran + Ford’s gorgeous black tie wedding at the Country Club of Charleston...

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.

Hilton Head is a special place to Abby + Greyson, as Abby’s parents live there and she’s been visiting the area for years.

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 […]
