I love styling details on the wedding day! It’s my creative warm up and it also gives me a glimpse into the style + feel of the wedding day, which allows me to figure out how to document the rest of the day for a look cohesive. I bring a fully stocked styling kit to every wedding, so that I can ensure my clients’ styled detail shots are absolutely beautiful – even if their details are minimal. So what exactly is in my styling kit, you ask?
I always encourage my couples to also request some styling blooms from their florist, so that I can use fresh flowers in their styled detail photos. Most florists are more than happy to provide the photographer with a few extra styling blooms and, in my opinion, those styling blooms allow me to really create some GORGEOUS detail images! Even if your florist wants to charge you for the extra blooms, it’s definitely worth it if you can fit it into your budget!
I love being able to give my couples the peace of mind, knowing that I will bring all kinds of styling elements to help pull their details together and tell a visual story. DCW couples don’t have to worry about a thing! I bring it all! A little ribbon, some stamps, a beautiful ring box… these simple things can really elevate those styled detail shots and I think it’s something that sets me apart from a lot of other photographers. I take great care in styling details on the wedding day – and my styling kit is an essential part of telling my clients’ story!

I first met Tori back in 2016 when I photographed her older sister Kiersten’s wedding. Little did I know then that I would go on to photograph their sister Chelsea’s wedding in 2021 – and finally Tori’s wedding in 2024! Legacy clients are so special and the Stolen family means so much to me. They […]
When I first spoke to Elizabeth last June, I knew that her wedding day was going to be something special. She spoke about getting married in her hometown of Beaufort SC – first, a sweet ceremony at her local church, followed by a tented waterfront celebration filled with bright colors and palm accents. Elizabeth wanted […]
Lizzie + Nick’s colorful Charleston wedding at the William Aiken House was definitely one for the books. I absolutely loved spending this beautiful spring day with them, their families, and closest friends. The historic charm of the venue combined with Charleston’s vibrant atmosphere created a truly memorable setting for their colorful celebration. Lush floral arrangements […]
I was introduced to Cait through former DCW bride and fellow photographer, Lindsay, who had worked with Cait previously, but was not available for her wedding day. I’m SO thankful that Lindsay connected us because I immediately fell in love with Cait and her vision for a sweet, intimate wedding celebration in Charleston. Caitlin’s parents […]
When Katie first told me about her wedding day vision – a classic brunch wedding overlooking the water at the iconic Ocean Course on Kiawah Island – I knew it was going to be such a beautiful celebration. There really isn’t anything like a Kiawah Island wedding! A custom Modern Trousseau ball gown, topped with […]
I met up with Dawn + Joey in February for their beautiful engagement session here in Charleston. They brought their two beautiful pups, Willow + Cricket, along for part of the session… and boy, did they have a blast at Hampton Park?!? I am totally OBSESSED with the photos of them walking together (below) because […]
