Jessica + Lee’s wedding was the perfect way to start off 2023. I absolutely ADORE this couple and their wedding day was such a joy to document. Jessica envisioned a classic, romantic, elegant celebration with an emphasis on fun. I’d say that they absolutely got what they wished for!
The girls spent the morning getting ready at the home where Jessica worked as a nanny many years ago, which was such a fun and special detail. One of the kids she nannied is now a teenager who plays violin – so naturally she was the one who provided music during cocktail hour, which was another fun personal detail.
Jessica + Lee opted for a traditional aisle reveal and seeing Lee’s face as he watched Jessica walk down the aisle towards him was so so special. They said “I do!” at Bethel United Methodist Church, where Lee has been a member for many many years. Jessica’s youth minister from high school officiated their beautiful ceremony and I just love how intimate and personal their ceremony was.
Their reception was so much fun! The Midnight City Band is always a blast and they actually were playing at Red’s Ice House on Shem Creek the night Jessica + Lee got engaged – so of course they chose them to play at their wedding as well. The dance floor was packed all night and it was just such a beautiful day from start to finish.
Enjoy some of my favorites from Jessica + Lee’s wedding at the Cedar Room in downtown Charleston SC…

Hannah + Matt’s intimate brunch wedding at The Sanctuary on Kiawah was such a special celebration. If there are two things I LOVE, it’s an intimate wedding and brunch!

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 […]
