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...

I love it when my couples opt to do an engagement session with me before their wedding day. While it’s by no means necessary, I always really love getting to know my couples before the wedding day – and I also love being able to take some epic photos of them during this special time […]
From the very first time I spoke with Caroline, I knew that her wedding day was going to be so special.

Lauren + Matt are the embodiment of pure, unfiltered JOY. The way these two look at each other. The way they smile from ear to ear when they are next to each other. Absolute, contagious, electric joy. I truly feel so lucky to have been in the presence of their love. It’s a love that […]
In May, I headed to Atlanta for Lynsey + Tyler’s romantic wedding at Summerour Studio. I knew their wedding weekend was going to be special and it absolutely was!

I first met Tori back in 2016 when I photographed her older sister Kiersten’s wedding.

Legacy clients are so special and the Stolen family means so much to me. They […]
When I first spoke to Elizabeth last June, I knew that her wedding day was going to be something special.

Elizabeth wanted […]
