Megan + Rick’s wedding day was super special for me because Megan just happens to be the cousin of one of my very first brides, Lindsay! Megan’s vision for a classic, chic Southern cocktail party was brought to life by Samantha of Chancey Charm. The Gadsden House was the perfect venue for these two DC residents to celebrate with their family + friends.
We started off with a sweet First Look and portraits downtown before meeting up with their fabulous bridal party back at the venue. As the sun began to set over Charleston, Megan + Rick said “I do” before heading into the house for cocktail hour with their guests. The weather was perfect for their open air reception. Guests dined on traditional lowcountry cuisine by Cru, then danced the night away to music performed by the groom’s cousin’s band. At the end of the night, Megan + Rick exited through a tunnel of sparklers. Here are some of my favorites from this elegant, classic downtown Charleston wedding at the Gadsden House…

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 […]
