Melissa + Michael’s wedding day was supposed to be a wash out. All week long, the forecast said 100% chance of rain + thunderstorms. So when the sun decided to grace us with it’s presence that day, we were all thanking Mother Nature for cooperating… and thanking the local meteorologists for being wrong!! It turned out to be the most beautiful late spring day for Melissa + Michael to say “I do!” with their guests and I’m so glad it was a dry one because they deserved to have amazing weather for their wedding day.
Melissa + Michael shared a beautiful First Look near the Carriage House, then took a little walk and explored the property with us before meeting up with their bridal party for photos. Everyone was in a great mood and it was so much fun to spend time with them and their bridal party! Melissa + Michael said “I do!” beneath the oaks and then danced the night away with their family + friends. It was a pretty epic dance party. I’m pretty sure Melissa + Michael never left the dance floor the entire night!! At the end of the evening, Melissa + Michael exited through a tunnel of sparklers before heading to their afterparty downtown. Here are some of my favorite images from Melissa + Michael’s beautiful rustic Magnolia Plantation wedding…

I was introduced to Cait through former DCW bride and fellow photographer, Lindsay, who had worked with Cait previously, but was not available for her wedding day. I’m SO thankful that Lindsay connected us because I immediately fell in love with Cait and her vision for a sweet, intimate wedding celebration in Charleston. Caitlin’s parents […]
When Katie first told me about her wedding day vision – a classic brunch wedding overlooking the water at the iconic Ocean Course on Kiawah Island – I knew it was going to be such a beautiful celebration. There really isn’t anything like a Kiawah Island wedding! A custom Modern Trousseau ball gown, topped with […]
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 […]
