Maryland residents Suzanne and Joel fell in love with Magnolia Plantation over the internet. After seeing photos online, they knew it was the PERFECT spot for them to elope – even though they’d never even been to Charleston before, let alone Magnolia Plantation! But hey – I can’t blame them. Magnolia Plantation is absolutely beautiful and it WAS the perfect spot for their intimate and romantic elopement.
Suzanne + Joel’s wedding day started with a beautiful First Look and some portraits, followed by their amazing ceremony under the oaks. It was pure perfection. After their ceremony, we spent some more time exploring the plantation together – Suzanne + Joel even climbed into a tree that was perched above the Ashley River. Talk about EPIC!!! The best part of the day? Mother Nature timed things PERFECTLY for once. Although rain threatened the area, the rainy skies cleared mid-morning and remained dry up until the very last shot… literally! As we made our way back to the main house after we finished up shooting, it started to drizzle for the first time all afternoon. So thank you, Mother Nature, for keeping things dry for Suzanne + Joel’s beautiful wedding day!
Congratulations Suzanne + Joel! I loved being a part of your special day. Without further ado, here are some of my favorites from this fabulous Magnolia Plantation elopement…

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 […]
