Bonnie + John’s stunning celebration at Ford Field + River Club was definitely one of my very favorite weddings EVER. Bonnie had a super clear vision of what her wedding day would look and feel like – timeless, romantic, with plenty of candlelight and a Gatsby-esque vibe. Kelli Corn and her team executed Bonnie’s vision perfectly! The entire day was a dream.
Overcast skies gave us the softest light to work with throughout the day and the love surrounding Bonnie + John was palpable. Their bridal party was incredible and their families were so warm + welcoming… it truly felt like I was part of the family!
After a beautiful ceremony on the front lawn, guests were invited to the back of the club to enjoy cocktail hour overlooking the Ogeechee River. Bonnie + John mingled with their guests and got a sneak peek of their tented reception before anyone else was invited in. Bonnie’s jaw dropped as she saw the space. It was everything she imagined and I was so happy watching her walk around, admiring all of the fine details they had so carefully chosen.
Beatles tribute band, The Return, entertained guests after their seated dinner – then, DJ Wade got the party going late into the night. It was an incredible day for a truly incredible couple. Congratulations Bonnie + John… and THANK YOU for allowing me to document this amazing day for you + your families!!

I first met Tori back in 2016 when I photographed her older sister Kiersten’s wedding. Little did I know then that I would go on to photograph their sister Chelsea’s wedding in 2021 – and finally Tori’s wedding in 2024! 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 […]
Lizzie + Nick’s colorful Charleston wedding at the William Aiken House was definitely one for the books. I absolutely loved spending this beautiful spring day with them, their families, and closest friends. The historic charm of the venue combined with Charleston’s vibrant atmosphere created a truly memorable setting for their colorful celebration. Lush floral arrangements […]
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.
