Shannon + Drew’s wedding day was just as beautiful + incredible as I knew it would be. After working with them over the past year, starting with their engagement session last fall and Shannon’s bridal portrait session in May, I truly felt like part of the family when their big day finally arrived. I loved spending time with Shannon, Drew, their family + friends on such an amazing day and witnessing all of the love + support that surrounds them.
After a sweet First Look in historic downtown Charleston, we did some quick portraits followed by bridal party photos before everyone headed to the church for their ceremony. After the ceremony, everyone headed over to The Cedar Room, where guests were treated to traditional lowcountry fare and an epic dance party, courtesy of Permanent Vacation. The dance floor was packed all night and at the end of it all, Shannon + Drew exited through a tunnel of sparklers and hopped into a pedicab. An amazing end to an incredible day. Here are some of my favorites from Shannon + Drew’s Charleston wedding…

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 […]

I feel extremely lucky that I was able to experience such a tremendous year of growth and travel. Here are some of […]
This colorful winter wedding at Sea Pines Resort was the perfect way to start 2024. On one of the coldest days of the year, Caitlyn + Mark said “I do!” on the iconic 18th lawn at Harbourtown Links, overlooking the Calibogue Sound. Surrounded by their closest family + friends, their day was everything that Caitlyn […]
When I first started second shooting in 2011, I’ll admit… I had NO IDEA what I was doing. I was pretty good with my camera, technically. I could shoot in manual mode and had some understanding of flash. However, I wasn’t entirely sure of my role as a second shooter and had no idea exactly […]

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. […]
