On the morning of Nina + Brett’s wedding, some springtime rain passed through the area, leaving Nina even more anxious about the day than she already was. Luckily, Mother Nature decided to play nice and the skies cleared right before their First Look… thank you, Mother Nature!!! From that point on, the day was GORGEOUS with blue skies, a gentle breeze, and a few scattered clouds… the ideal weather for a March wedding in Charleston!
After their First Look, we wandered the beautifully manicured gardens of Middleton Place together – stopping among the colorful azalea blooms for a ton of bride + groom portraits. Nina + Brett wrote each other private, personal vows, which they read together before the ceremony. Their bridal party joined us for group photos and before long, they were saying “I do!” in front of all of their family + friends under the majestic oak in the Octagonal Garden. Guests enjoyed cocktail hour in the adjacent Sundial Garden, while we took a carriage ride around the property to grab some final sunset photos before their celebration began.
Nina + Brett’s wedding was the very first wedding to take place in the newly renovated Pavilion at Middleton Place! The new venue is STUNNING and I absolutely loved their design, created by Candice of Ooh! Events. After a delicious seated dinner, Nina + Brett danced the night away with their guests… and at the end of the night, they exited through a tunnel of sparklers. Here are some of my favorites from Nina + Brett’s gorgeous Middleton Place wedding…

Taylor and Hutch’s wedding at the Pavilion at Patriots Point was colorful, stylish, and filled with so much personality. From the unexpected color palette and playful animal-print details to the incredible sailcloth tent overlooking Charleston Harbor, every part of the day felt distinctly them. Their palette mixed rich shades of brown with lilac, chartreuse, soft […]

There’s something incredibly special about celebrating a wedding at home – especially when that home is one you’ve only just begun making your own. Molly and Erik had recently purchased their home on James Island, and instead of planning a large, traditional wedding, they invited their immediate families and closest friends to join them there […]

There was an ease to Allyson and Brian’s wedding day that made it such a joy to photograph. From the moment I arrived at The Ocean Course on Kiawah Island, everything felt relaxed, intentional, and centered on what mattered most: celebrating their marriage with the people they love. No overcomplicated timeline, no unnecessary stress – […]

After three years of being engaged and originally planning a much larger wedding, Allison and Jake decided to take a different path. Instead of a big celebration, they chose an intimate wedding day centered around what mattered most to them: each other and the people they love most. With just 19 guests in attendance – […]

When a place has been woven into your family’s traditions for years, there’s something especially meaningful about beginning your marriage there. For Addison, Kiawah Island has been a beloved part of life since childhood. So when it came time to choose a wedding location, bringing family and friends together on the island where so many […]

Charleston weather likes to keep everyone on their toes, but even by Lowcountry standards, Caroline and Cody’s wedding day was memorable. Rain fell for most of the day – a rarity in Charleston, especially when it seems determined to stick around from morning until ceremony time. Yet through every forecast update, timeline adjustment, and weather-related […]
