When Monica told me that her wedding vision was inspired by the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic, I knew immediately that this was going to be a unique wedding day. Lowcountry, chic, unique, and timeless were all words that resonated with the couple – and their planner, Ashley, created an incredible design that was absolute perfection. Even with a last minute venue change, Monica + Austin’s day couldn’t have been better. They always start their day together drinking coffee, so they asked if I’d be willing to come early for a mini photo shoot to document their last coffee date before getting married. I absolutely LOVED this!! It was so sweet to create some beautiful photos of them before their big day got under way.
With 3 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen standing by their side, Monica + Austin said “I do” in a beautiful waterfront ceremony officiated by Austin’s brother. We had the BEST light for portraits at Palmetto Bluff after the ceremony – and then we headed over to their reception a few miles down the road. Now let’s talk about the florals… oh my goodness, THE FLORALS!! Em Creative is just so incredibly talented. They completely transformed the event space with their floral installation. It was a showstopper.
Monica + Austin spent the evening celebrating with friends + family, dancing the night away. At the end of the night, they exited through a tunnel of sparklers – the perfect ending to their fairy tale day. Congratulations Monica + Austin… and thank you for allowing me to be a part of this amazing day!

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
From the very first time I spoke with Caroline, I knew that her wedding day was going to be so special. With just their immediate families in attendance, Caroline + Kevin’s day was centered around family – and they wanted to begin their life together surrounded by the people who love them the most in […]
