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…

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! Their celebration started with a beautiful rehearsal dinner at the Peachtree Club, overlooking the city. It was so great to meet all of their VIP’s the […]
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. She spoke about getting married in her hometown of Beaufort SC – first, a sweet ceremony at her local church, followed by a tented waterfront celebration filled with bright colors and palm accents. Elizabeth wanted […]
