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…

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 […]

Some wedding days are beautiful because of the details. Others are beautiful because of the people. Ansley and James’ wedding in Columbia, South Carolina was the rare combination of both. After seven years together, these two gathered their favorite people for a celebration that felt joyful, colorful, and completely centered on the relationships that matter […]
