Middleton Place is one of my very favorite venues in Charleston. The gardens are spectacular, the vibe is so romantic, and the best part? The sheep! It’s no wonder Emmy + Ian chose Middleton as the place for them to get married! With the help of the fabulous team at MOD Events, their vision for a romantic garden-inspired celebration came to life in the most magical way.
Though the forecast had been calling for rain all week, showers left the area early in the morning and the rest of the day was perfection. Overcast skies make for the BEST photos!!
Following their First Look under the oaks, Emmy + Ian shared private vows. I am LOVING this new tradition! So many couples are now opting to do private personal vows after their First Look and it’s always such a sweet + intimate moment to capture.
After some portraits around the property, we met up with their wedding party and family for formal photos in the Octagonal Garden – and shortly thereafter, guests started to arrive for their ceremony. Following a sweet ceremony officiated by Ian’s brother in law, guests enjoyed the beauty of Middleton while drinking cocktails under the oaks. Dancing and celebration followed – and the dance floor was PACKED all night. Emmy, Ian, and their friends + family really know how to party! Here are some of my favorites from Emmy + Ian’s beautiful Middleton Place wedding…

When Katie first told me about her wedding day vision – a classic brunch wedding overlooking the water at the iconic Ocean Course on Kiawah Island – I knew it was going to be such a beautiful celebration. There really isn’t anything like a Kiawah Island wedding! A custom Modern Trousseau ball gown, topped with […]
I met up with Dawn + Joey in February for their beautiful engagement session here in Charleston. They brought their two beautiful pups, Willow + Cricket, along for part of the session… and boy, did they have a blast at Hampton Park?!? I am totally OBSESSED with the photos of them walking together (below) because […]
Audra + Rahul’s beautiful traditional Indian wedding in Charleston was definitely one for the books. I absolutely LOVE everything about South Asian/Indian weddings… the colors, the attire, the music, the food, the traditions, the rituals, the family element, the dancing. There really is nothing like it and if I could specialize in shooting only South […]
From the very first time I spoke with Martha Camille, I knew that her Boone Hall wedding was going to be EPIC. I also knew that she was going to be a dream client for me – and she absolutely was! I love all of my couples, but it’s so extra special when someone has […]
When Martha Camille told me that she wanted to recreate her mother’s studio bridal portraits, I’ll admit… I was a little hesitant. I’ve never done studio bridal portraits before and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to bring her vision to life. As a creative, I love doing things that are outside of […]
