I seriously have the best job in the entire world and my clients? They are the best of the best! Every weekend, I get to spend the day with two people who are madly in love with each other and documenting every moment is such an honor. Sarah + Patrick’s wedding was no exception. I absolutely ADORE these two, and their amazing families, and their fabulous friends. Their wedding day was perfection and I’m so excited to share it with the world today!!
After getting ready downtown, Sarah + Patrick shared a beautiful First Look at Magnolia Plantation. We spent some time together creating some of my very favorite portraits to date and before long, their bridal party arrived to join us for photos and everyone was in such good spirits. Soon, Sarah + Patrick said “I do!” in a beautiful garden ceremony overlooking the iconic White Bridge while their handsome pup, Sully, stole the show. It was pure perfection. I loved all of their vintage details, which Sarah + her mom found during their many shopping trips prior to the wedding. Their “Sip + Be Seated” display was a huge hit and I’m so impressed that they found all of those great champagne flutes together!! So fun!! Guests dined on traditional Lowcountry cuisine, then spent the night dancing up a storm! At the end of the night, Sarah + Patrick exited through a tunnel of sparklers… the perfect ending to a fabulous day. Here are some of my favorites from Sarah + Patrick’s beautiful garden-inspired wedding at Magnolia Plantation…

Sarah and Jake have been together for ten years. That kind of history shows up in subtle ways – in ease, in trust, in the way two people move through a day without needing to perform. Living in New York City, with Jake’s parents based in Charleston, Planters Inn felt like a natural place for […]

Some wedding days are carefully planned. Others unfold exactly the way they’re meant to. Melissa and Eric originally hired me to photograph their elopement closer to home near Lake Wylie. But when Melissa’s father became ill, everything shifted. Plans were paused, priorities reordered, and space was made for what mattered most. When the time felt […]

There’s something about being near the water that instantly slows everything down. Jordan and Greg were married at the Cottages at Charleston Harbor, and their wedding day unfolded with the kind of ease that can only be felt. An al fresco, tented celebration by the harbor, layered with soft light, movement, and color, it was […]

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 […]
