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…

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 […]
