Charleston natives + high school sweethearts Shelby + Cameron said “I do!” at Middleton Place on the most beautiful November day. The weekend before Thanksgiving is always my last wedding of the year and man, what a way to end the 2016 wedding year?! Even though I lost my voice during this fabulous soiree – and didn’t get it back for over a week – I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better way to finish up such an amazing year of weddings in Charleston! After sharing a sweet First Look, Shelby + Cameron were joined by their HUGE wedding party – consisting of 14 bridesmaids + 13 groomsmen. They were all so easy + fun to work with and it was so clear that Shelby + Cameron have a lot of love + support in their lives. They exchanged vows in a personalized ceremony overlooking the Butterfly Lakes, then partied the night away with their friends + family. At the end of the night, they exited through a tunnel of sparklers and headed to their afterparty downtown. Here are some of my favorites from Shelby + Cameron’s beautiful Middleton Place wedding…

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 […]
