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!

When Martha Camille told me that she wanted to recreate her mother’s studio bridal portraits, I’ll admit… I was a little hesitant. I’ve never done studio bridal portraits before and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to bring her vision to life. As a creative, I love doing things that are outside of […]
2023 was definitely one of the best years yet for my business. I had the honor of working with so many fabulous couples, in so many fabulous locations… including Spain, Italy, and Hawaii! I feel extremely lucky that I was able to experience such a tremendous year of growth and travel. Here are some of […]
This colorful winter wedding at Sea Pines Resort was the perfect way to start 2024. On one of the coldest days of the year, Caitlyn + Mark said “I do!” on the iconic 18th lawn at Harbourtown Links, overlooking the Calibogue Sound. Surrounded by their closest family + friends, their day was everything that Caitlyn […]
When I first started second shooting in 2011, I’ll admit… I had NO IDEA what I was doing. I was pretty good with my camera, technically. I could shoot in manual mode and had some understanding of flash. However, I wasn’t entirely sure of my role as a second shooter and had no idea exactly […]
Lowndes Grove is a magical venue for romantic bridal portraits. The house is bathed in gorgeous light, thanks to the large windows throughout. It has plenty of indoor space that you can use in case of inclement weather. The rooms are beautifully decorated in a classic style that complements the overall aesthetic of the property. […]
