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…

I met up with Dawn + Joey in February for their beautiful engagement session here in Charleston. They brought their two beautiful pups, Willow + Cricket, along for part of the session… and boy, did they have a blast at Hampton Park?!? I am totally OBSESSED with the photos of them walking together (below) because […]
Audra + Rahul’s beautiful traditional Indian wedding in Charleston was definitely one for the books. I absolutely LOVE everything about South Asian/Indian weddings… the colors, the attire, the music, the food, the traditions, the rituals, the family element, the dancing. There really is nothing like it and if I could specialize in shooting only South […]
From the very first time I spoke with Martha Camille, I knew that her Boone Hall wedding was going to be EPIC. I also knew that she was going to be a dream client for me – and she absolutely was! I love all of my couples, but it’s so extra special when someone has […]
When Martha Camille told me that she wanted to recreate her mother’s studio bridal portraits, I’ll admit… I was a little hesitant. I’ve never done studio bridal portraits before and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to bring her vision to life. As a creative, I love doing things that are outside of […]

I feel extremely lucky that I was able to experience such a tremendous year of growth and travel. Here are some of […]
This colorful winter wedding at Sea Pines Resort was the perfect way to start 2024. On one of the coldest days of the year, Caitlyn + Mark said “I do!” on the iconic 18th lawn at Harbourtown Links, overlooking the Calibogue Sound. Surrounded by their closest family + friends, their day was everything that Caitlyn […]
