Olivia + Sam originally wanted to get married in the fall, but they chose a spring wedding date in an effort to avoid potentially bad weather during hurricane season. So imagine their reaction when Subtropical Storm Alberto decided to make an appearance on their wedding day. I have to say, the weather this spring has been INSANE… unlike any other wedding season I’ve experienced… but Olivia, Sam, their family + friends all made the best of their wedding day, despite the disappointing rain.
Luckily, Olivia + Sam chose to do a First Look and we were able to do all of their formal photos before the rain really settled in for the night. THANK GOODNESS!! The overcast skies provided the PERFECT lighting for their photos and I’m so happy we were able to outrun the rain!! Unfortunately, the rain forced their ceremony to be moved under a tent behind the main house at Magnolia Plantation. As the rain fell on the top of the tent, creating a super romantic atmosphere, Olivia + Sam said “I do!” in front of their closest family + friends who all came out to celebrate with them in Charleston.
After dinner on the Veranda, everyone moved back down into the tent and danced the night away in celebration. Despite standing water and mud, the dance floor was packed and everyone had SO MUCH FUN!! It is definitely a wedding that everyone will remember for years to come and I know Olivia + Sam’s marriage was doubly blessed by Mother Nature! It was a lot of fun to be a part of such a sweet celebration and I love how happy + flexible everyone was throughout the day. It made everything so much easier and enjoyable because everyone was just so happy!! At the end of the night, Olivia + Sam exited through a tunnel of sparklers and hopped into their getaway car. Here are some of my favorites from Olivia + Sam’s romantic + rainy spring wedding at Magnolia Plantation…

I love it when my couples opt to do an engagement session with me before their wedding day. While it’s by no means necessary, I always really love getting to know my couples before the wedding day – and I also love being able to take some epic photos of them during this special time […]
From the very first time I spoke with Caroline, I knew that her wedding day was going to be so special. With just their immediate families in attendance, Caroline + Kevin’s day was centered around family – and they wanted to begin their life together surrounded by the people who love them the most in […]
Lauren + Matt are the embodiment of pure, unfiltered JOY. The way these two look at each other. The way they smile from ear to ear when they are next to each other. Absolute, contagious, electric joy. I truly feel so lucky to have been in the presence of their love. It’s a love that […]
In May, I headed to Atlanta for Lynsey + Tyler’s romantic wedding at Summerour Studio. I knew their wedding weekend was going to be special and it absolutely was! Their celebration started with a beautiful rehearsal dinner at the Peachtree Club, overlooking the city. It was so great to meet all of their VIP’s the […]
I first met Tori back in 2016 when I photographed her older sister Kiersten’s wedding.

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 […]
