Sometimes, I don’t have the opportunity to actually meet my bride + groom in person until the day of their wedding. It’s not uncommon, especially since I photograph so many destination weddings here in Charleston and my clients sometimes don’t have the time to meet up while they are in town doing all of their planning. But through the magic of social media, it often feels like I “know” them when I walk into the bridal suite and I truly cherish the relationships that I am able to build with my clients before the wedding day – whether we actually meet in person or not! Even though we hadn’t met in person yet, I knew that Texas residents Stephanie + Jesse’s wedding was going to be special. Just by following them on social media, I could tell that they were my kind of people!! And I had SO much fun photographing their wedding day!
We started their beautiful wedding day with a sweet First Look under the Wedding Tree at the Legare Waring House. Soon, we were joined by their awesome bridal party and families for group photos and before we knew it, Stephanie + Jesse were saying “I do” in a beautiful ceremony in the Avenue of Oaks, officiated by Stephanie’s brother in law who quoted Drake and Notorious B.I.G. in his homily. It was AMAZING and so memorable! After their ceremony, Stephanie + Jesse cut their cake and then hit the dancefloor for the most EPIC dance party EVER!! I mean, it was insane and DJ Stephen Darby kept the crowd jumping… literally… all night. At the end of the night, Stephanie + Jesse exited through a tunnel of rose petals and hopped into their getaway car. The perfect ending to an amazing day! Here are some of my favorites from Stephanie + Jesse’s gorgeous Charleston wedding at the Legare Waring House…

Ashley + Kyle’s wedding day was, in a word, magic. These two share such a beautiful love and I am beyond thankful to have witnessed it first hand. Ashley is pure JOY in human form and she absolutely glows in Kyle’s presence. The way they look at each other and care for each other is […]
From the moment I first spoke to Sandra, I knew her wedding day was going to be something special. She had a clear vision of a day filled with special details, personalized moments, and a celebration of love that was truly unique to her and Matt’s love story. Being in the fashion world, I knew […]
There’s something undeniably magical about Charleston SC. The cobblestone alleyways, the historic charm, and the gentle breeze off of the water – which creates the perfect setting for love to flourish. When I had the opportunity to capture Hannah + Ashley’s engagement session on an overcast day this past September, I knew it would be […]
Hilton Head is a special place to Abby + Greyson, as Abby’s parents live there and she’s been visiting the area for years. I always love how the magic of Hilton Head and Sea Pines brings families together on such an incredible day. This September wedding day at Sea Pines started off with torrential rain […]
Somehow, it’s already February and I just realized that I haven’t posted my year-end recap from 2024. Yikes! Better late than never, I suppose! If I’m being totally honest and transparent, 2024 was a difficult year for me + my mindset. Self-doubt, not knowing where I “fit in”, feeling jealousy of other photographers, and not […]
I met up with Nicole + Thomas last summer for their engagement session out on Folly Beach. They found me through another one of my couples, whose wedding I photographed at Sea Pines last winter, and I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their Charleston wedding! I loved spending the evening with them […]
