HOW I CAN SERVE YOU

WEDDINGS ELOPEMENTS PORTRAITS

Whether you’re looking for wedding, elopement, or portrait photography services in or near Charleston, I am dedicated to creating images that reflect the true essence of your connection.

To me photography is more than just taking pictures; it’s about trust and comfort. If you feel uneasy in front of the camera, it will show in your photos. That’s why I focus on creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience, ensuring that you feel at ease from the moment we start working together. When you trust the person behind the lens, your gallery will reflect your day’s genuine emotions and natural moments.

Every wedding I photograph is an honor, and I approach each one with the same level of care and respect. My style is unobtrusive, allowing the day to unfold naturally while I document every detail. I want you to have images that capture not just the big events of the day but also the quiet moments of connection: the nervous hand squeezes, the joyful tears, the laughter, and the clinking of glasses.

I take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure I give each couple my full attention and artistry. This allows me to provide the highest level of service and dedication to every couple I work with. If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only deliver stunning elegant images but also create a seamless and heartfelt experience, we might just be the perfect match.

After all, when the dress is hung up and the cake has long been eaten, it’s the photographs and memories you’re left with. Reach out, and let’s start planning your wedding photography experience.

WEDDINGS

FULL DAY COVERAGE INVESTMENT BEGINNING AT $6000

Every couple and wedding celebration is unique. My commission is to understand who you are as a couple and recognize what is most important to you on your wedding day. I then design a tailored proposal to align with your specific wedding vision based on your photography wants and needs.

All proposals will include a tailored photography timeline, my time, travel, engagement session, second photographer, and an online gallery with high-resolution edited digital files.

ELOPEMENTS

INVESTMENT BEGINNING AT $2000

Eloping is a beautiful choice—an intentional decision to focus on what truly matters: your love and commitment to each other. I am deeply inspired by couples who take a less traditional approach, choosing to celebrate their wedding day in a way that feels most authentic to them.

Whether it’s an intimate destination wedding or a private ceremony with just the two of you, eloping allows you to step away from the pressures of a large event and embrace a more personal, meaningful experience.

Choosing the right elopement photographer is so important because your photos won’t just be beautiful keepsakes—they’ll also allow you to share your experience with loved ones who weren’t there.

PORTRAITS

INVESTMENT BEGINNING AT $700

Life is made up of moments—some big, some small, but all worth remembering. My portrait sessions are designed to capture the milestones that define your life journey, from a heartfelt proposal or engagement to an anniversary, growing family, or personal branding session. I aim to preserve the joy, connection, and emotions that make these moments so special.

Get in Touch – If you’d love for me to photograph your special moments, send a message via the contact form on my website. I can’t wait to hear about your vision!
Discovery Call – Every couple and wedding is unique. I schedule a phone call to connect and ensure we’re the perfect fit before moving forward.
Custom Proposal – After learning about your love story and what matters most to you, I’ll craft a tailored photography package that aligns with your wedding vision.
Secure Your Date – Once we finalize the details, a signed contract and a $1,500 retainer officially reserve your date on my calendar. From there, you can relax, knowing you’ve hired an experienced wedding professional to capture your once-in-a-lifetime moments!

During a portrait session, I will help guide you into poses. My only expectation for you is that you come open to ideas, and are ready to have fun, laugh, and snuggle in front of my camera! While I will give you direction throughout the session, I like to let you fall into a version of the pose that is comfortable for you and keep it fun! There will also be plenty of times when I will let you do your thing, and capture your natural interactions. I may ask you to move, walk, and fake laugh- which coincidentally always results in real laughter!

Generally, you will receive 100 professionally edited images per hour of photography coverage. Your images will be delivered to you via an online gallery between 4 to 6 weeks after your wedding day/ session. I also deliver a handful of images within a week after your wedding day because I know how excited you are about seeing your photos!

I currently live in Charleston, SC, and serve all of South Carolina and beyond. I often travel to Kiawah, Seabrook, & Hilton Head. I charge a travel fee of $100.00 for travel extending beyond 45 miles and $250.00 for travel extending beyond 60 miles of the zip code of 29466 to cover gas and my time to travel.
