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…

I met up with Dawn + Joey in February for their beautiful engagement session here in Charleston. They brought their two beautiful pups, Willow + Cricket, along for part of the session… and boy, did they have a blast at Hampton Park?!? I am totally OBSESSED with the photos of them walking together (below) because […]
Audra + Rahul’s beautiful traditional Indian wedding in Charleston was definitely one for the books. I absolutely LOVE everything about South Asian/Indian weddings… the colors, the attire, the music, the food, the traditions, the rituals, the family element, the dancing. There really is nothing like it and if I could specialize in shooting only South […]
From the very first time I spoke with Martha Camille, I knew that her Boone Hall wedding was going to be EPIC. I also knew that she was going to be a dream client for me – and she absolutely was! I love all of my couples, but it’s so extra special when someone has […]
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 […]
2023 was definitely one of the best years yet for my business. I had the honor of working with so many fabulous couples, in so many fabulous locations… including Spain, Italy, and Hawaii! 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 […]
