McKenna + Matt’s wedding day was truly incredible. From start to finish, everything fell perfectly into place – probably because McKenna is so detail-oriented and organized. She truly is a bride after my own heart! All of her bridal details were stunning and she actually planned her wedding day around photography… which is always a dream come true for me! It paid off BIG TIME with one of my very favorite First Looks EVER and the most amazing bride + groom portraits taken all around beautiful Magnolia Plantation!
We started the day just up the road at the Inn at Middleton Place. Once everyone was ready, McKenna + Matt headed to Magnolia Plantation for their First Look in one of the most beautiful gardens. It was so sweet and STUNNING!! One of my all-time favorites for sure. After their First Look, we took some time to explore the plantation together. These two are just so natural in front of the camera!! I didn’t think it could get much better after their portraits, but then their bridal party arrived for photos and everyone looked SO GOOD!! I mean, seriously… McKenna + Matt did a fabulous job with their wedding design. Everything from the colors to the florals to the decor… it was perfect! Elegant, romantic, classic. Just like them!
They said “I do!” beneath a live oak overlooking the Ashley River before celebrating with their closest family + friends. Both McKenna + Matt were on the dance floor all night – it was the ultimate dance party!! At the end of the night, Matt + McKenna exited through a tunnel of sparklers and jumped into their fabulous getaway car… the perfect ending to the perfect day. Here are some of my favorites from McKenna + Matt’s beautiful wedding at Magnolia Plantation…

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 […]
