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…

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.
