A wedding day should feel effortless. Unrushed. Fully experienced.


Wedding photography Charleston SC

Charleston offers a breathtaking setting for a wedding, where historic architecture, coastal light, and natural beauty come together effortlessly. Whether you’re exchanging vows beneath moss draped oaks, celebrating along the water, or gathering for an intimate garden ceremony, your surroundings become part of the story.

My work is rooted in capturing that story with honesty and intention, preserving not only how your day looked, but how it felt. With over two decades of experience and a refined, thoughtful approach, I create light filled, timeless imagery that reflects both the beauty of your setting and the emotion within it.

A wedding day that feels effortless, with space to be fully present while everything meaningful is documented.

Wedding photography is about more than beautiful images. It is about trust. When you feel relaxed and I approach each celebration with a calm, unobtrusive presence, guiding when needed, and stepping back to allow moments to unfold naturally. The quiet exchanges, the laughter, the emotion you didn’t even realize was happening, these are the moments that matter most, and the ones you’ll return to for years to come.

Photography is, at its core, built on trust. When you feel at ease, everything becomes more natural, more meaningful, more you. My role is to create that space, so nothing feels forced, and everything feels true.

I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can give each celebration the attention and care it deserves. Every couple’s story is approached thoughtfully, with an experience that feels personal, considered, and aligned with what matters most to you.

Because long after the day has passed, it is your photographs that remain, quietly holding the feeling of it all.

If my work resonates with you, I would love to learn more about your plans and create a collection that feels aligned with your vision.

GOT QUESTIONS?

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 50% 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. Interested in working together but you’re out of state? Cover my flight & accommodations & I’m there!
