My first wedding of 2018 was a showstopper. Beautiful bride Thayer looked stunning in her lace gown, while her handsome groom Josh looked oh-so-dapper in his classic black tuxedo. Pair that with a really fun bridal party, a gorgeous tented reception, and perfect weather… it doesn’t get much better!
We started their day with a sweet First Look at Lowndes Grove, followed by portraits + group photos. Everyone was so sweet and cooperative, despite a slight chill in the air. Before long, everyone was headed downtown to St Mary’s church, where Thayer + Josh said “I do!” in a romantic evening ceremony. Guests were shuttled to Lowndes Grove as dusk fell, greeted with signature cocktails and delicious passed appetizers. As guests were welcomed into the reception space, everyone just oohed and ahhed at the brilliant reception space, elegantly designed by Posh Petals and Pearls. The dance floor was packed all night and everyone was having such a good time. At the end of the night, Thayer and Josh exited through a tunnel of sparklers… the perfect ending to their fairy tale day. Here are some of my favorites from Thayer + Josh’s romantic winter wedding at Lowndes Grove…

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 […]
