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…

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 […]
