Lowndes Grove is a magical venue for romantic bridal portraits. The house is bathed in gorgeous light, thanks to the large windows throughout. It has plenty of indoor space that you can use in case of inclement weather. The rooms are beautifully decorated in a classic style that complements the overall aesthetic of the property. There is a beautiful covered porch, a spiral staircase, and checker board floor in a light-filled portico. Outside, you have the live oaks, stunning azaleas that bloom in the spring, and a wooden dock that stretches out into the Ashley River.
Caitlyn, who lives in Greenville and got married on Hilton Head, wanted a beautiful historic home for her bridal portraits. She didn’t mind coming to Charleston for the session, so Lowndes Grove was my #1 recommendation. After a quick trip to Hilton Head for her hair + makeup trial, Caitlyn and her mom drove up to Charleston for the day. It was a chilly, overcast day and the soft, diffused light was PERFECTION. The wind was whipping off the water and Caitlyn was hesitant to put in her veil on the dock – but those are some of my favorite images from her session! I’m so glad she decided to trust me as a reassured her that her veil would not blow away into the pluff mud!
Caitlyn looked incredible in her classic Pronovias ball gown and her pearl-accented veil was perfect accent piece for her timeless wedding day look. The small bow on the back of her dress, combined with the intricate lace detail, helped bring it all together in the most beautiful way. Now that Caitlyn is married, I’m so excited to share some of my favorite romantic bridal portraits at Lowndes Grove…

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 […]
2023 was definitely one of the best years yet for my business. I had the honor of working with so many fabulous couples, in so many fabulous locations… including Spain, Italy, and Hawaii!
