Natalie + Steven’s wedding date was chosen with great care. They decided to get married on October 22, 2019 – which would have been her grandparents 69th wedding anniversary. Their presence was surely felt throughout the day and I love how Natalie + Steven decided to start their own marriage on such a special + sentimental date. And let’s be honest… a Tuesday wedding is so much fun! We basically had the entire city to ourselves for portraits and I love how we were able to utilize locations that I wouldn’t dare visit on a weekend.
Their day started off with a threat of storms, but the weatherman was WRONG because before we even left for the First Look, the sun was out and shining bright! Natalie + Steven shared a sweet First Look downtown before hopping around the city for their bride + groom portraits. We met up with their amazing bridal party for group photos, then headed over to the Rice Mill for the ceremony. Natalie + Steven said “I do!” in a beautiful ceremony on the water, then we caught the last bits of daylight with their sunset photos. Guests dined on traditional lowcountry fare, then spent the entire evening dancing – celebrating the newlyweds. It was an amazing day from start to finish and I’m beyond lucky to have been able to capture this day for Natalie, Steven, and their families. Here are some of my favorites from Natalie + Steven’s romantic fall wedding at the Rice Mill…

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 […]
