    Lowndes Grove Charleston Wedding {Nicole+Ben}

    July 20, 2016

    I don’t think its a secret that I absolutely love photographing weddings in Charleston South Carolina. I love the history and the palpable charm that is in the air. Nicole and Ben had their Southern wedding at Lowndes Grove Plantation. Nestled near the center of downtown Charleston, Lowndes Grove is an old world house trapped in time. The location of the grounds on the waters edge with its long dock is just so quintessential Charleston. The old manner house is a perfect representation of Southern charm. I had the awesome opportunity to work with A Charleston Bride for this wedding.…

    McCrady’s Charleston Wedding Dinner {Nicole+Ben}

    June 12, 2016

    McCrady’s restaurant in downtown Charleston was the perfect spot for Nicole and Ben’s pre wedding rehearsal dinner. Wedding planners “A Charleston Bride” did such a fantastic and fun setup for this beautiful dinner in the historic french district of Charleston. I loved the Black and Yellow accented with lemons and floral. It felt so light and fresh. The evening was beautiful with toasts and mingling. I love getting to photograph rehearsal dinners. They are a stress free event where everyone is having a great time. This one was so much fun. Like much of Charleston, McCrady’s has some really fun…

    Charleston, Middleton Place Wedding {Lauren+Tyler}

    September 30, 2015

    Photographing Lauren & Tylers wedding elopement at Middleton Place in Charleston South Carolina was an absolutely amazing experience! Middleton Place has been a venue for weddings for over 250 years.  Hundreds of southern live oaks draped in Spanish moss, and the oldest gardens in the United States make for a stunning wedding venue that is overflowing with Southern charm . A grand house built in 1755, terraced lawns and blooming color, all combine to provide a location of exceptional beauty and elegance. For an intimate gathering or a grand affair, Middleton Place can create the perfect event. The beautiful Middleton Oak, which is estimated…

    Middleton Place, Charleston SC Wedding Teaser

    September 10, 2015

    I recently had the chance to travel back to Charleston SC to photograph the wedding elopement of Lauren & Tyler at Middleton Place. Middleton Place is one of the oldest plantations in the south and boast the oldest gardens in the United States. The Gardens, which Henry Middleton envisioned and began to create in 1741, reflect the grand classic style that remained in vogue in Europe and England into the early part of the 18th century.  Rational order, geometry and balance; vistas, focal points and surprises were all part of the garden design. To this day the gardens of Middleton…

    July 17, 2015

    I recently had the amazing opportunity to travel back to Charleston SC to photograph the wedding of the lovely Kaitlyen & Chris at The Legare Waring House.

    April 26, 2015

    I don’t know if there is anywhere more charming and romantic then downtown Charleston. When Nicole and Ben decided they wanted to do their engagement photos there I was beyond excited. I absolutely love the South and Charleston in particular has a special place in my heart. I have had opportunities to come to Charleston in the past both for engagement photos in the historic downtown and weddings both at the beach and weddings at old plantations. I am so thrilled to be photographing the wedding on Nicole and Ben in a few months. “A Charleston Bride“, one of the…

    Historic Charleston Engagement { Kaitlyn + Chris }

    June 10, 2014

    If there is a more beautiful city in the US to photograph a couple then Charleston SC I don’t think I have found it yet. The place just oozes with charm. From the old streets lined with Southern live oaks dripping with spanish moss to the amazing 16th-19th century architecture that abounds on every cobblestone street, the place is just amazing. What is even more stunning then Charleston are Kaitlyn and Chris! When they contacted me to fly out to Charleston to photograph their engagement session and wedding later next year I was beyond thrilled. I had already fallen in…

    Stephanie and Louie’s Wedding is hands down one of my favorites of the year! This was a beach party from start to finish in true Southern fashion!
