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…

Sarah + Steven’s wedding day began quietly, in the best way. Beautiful light filtered into the girls’ getting ready suite at The Omni Hilton Head, where Sarah was getting ready – not alone, but alongside two very important people — Steve’s daughters, Lana and Leah. Joined also by her mother and sister, they laughed, helped, […]

This year FLEW by! I feel like I blinked and we’re just 3 days away from the New Year. It’s been a quick one, but it’s also been a great one. Personally, I’ve grown by leaps and bounds. Creatively, I’m rediscovering myself. 2025 was a year for getting back to my roots and undoing some […]

Some couples know exactly what they want. Not because they’ve seen it everywhere, but because it feels true to them. Alyse and Greg were that kind of couple. From our very first phone call, Alyse described her vision in just a few words: romantic, moody, editorial. No big production. No venue. No audience. Just the […]

Some weddings stay with you long after you’ve delivered the final gallery. Natalie and Matt’s wedding at the William Aiken House is one of those days for me. From the very beginning, their vision felt clear and joyful — a true spring garden party, full of color, life, and intention. On a beautiful Saturday in […]

There’s something so special about photographing a wedding that feels completely, authentically them. Ashley and Hannah’s wedding day at Magnolia Plantation was one of those days – full of laughter, meaning, and so much love. These two made the trip from Charlotte to celebrate their marriage surrounded by family, friends, and their sweet pup, Norman […]

Some weddings are more emotional than others and, for Sarah + Logan, this was especially true. After having to postpone their original wedding date abruptly due to a health scare, they said “I do!” just a year later – and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. They had waited a long time for […]
