Dawn + Joey’s classic coastal summer wedding at Dataw Island Club was truly one that I will never forget. Every single detail was so thoughtfully curated and it was such an honor to be a part of their full wedding weekend. From their cozy rehearsal dinner the night before, to their epic celebration on the wedding day – I had the best time watching them both be surrounded by so much love and support from their family + friends.
The girls spent the morning getting ready at the Club and I just LOVED every single personal detail that Dawn picked out. From her amazing green Manolo’s, to her custom watercolor invitation suite, and her beautiful floral earrings… I honestly could’ve styled and photographed her details for DAYS! The bridesmaids wore beautiful LulaKate dresses in a sage green color that complemented the scenery so well.
As the ceremony began, we could all see a huge storm was rolling in – but thankfully, the rain held off just enough so that we could finish the ceremony and all of their photos. I’ve never shot wedding party, family, and portraits so fast in my life! As we arrived at the clubhouse, the skies opened and it rained the rest of the night – but lucky for us, the party was just getting started inside.
The dance floor was packed all night and I loved watching Dawn + Joey spend the entire night by each others’ side. The love that they share is so special and I am truly honored to have played a small party in their magical day. Thank you, guys, for allowing me to be a witness to your love and I wish you nothing but the best! Here are some of my favorite photos from Dawn + Joey’s beautiful summer wedding at Dataw Island Club…

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 […]

I love it when my couples opt to do an engagement session with me before their wedding day. While it’s by no means necessary, I always really love getting to know my couples before the wedding day – and I also love being able to take some epic photos of them during this special time […]
