I don’t think I’ll ever forget the day Iris’s wedding inquiry came in. She told me that she was a photographer who had followed my work for years. She said they already knew they wanted me as their photographer in Key West (!!!) and to just let them know what they needed to do to make […]
I really just can’t say enough good things about these two. I love Meagan and Justin!!! When I got to meet with Meagan to talk about planning the big day, we ended up talking for way longer than originally planned! I knew Meagan from working at one of my favorite downtown boutiques.

Perry also proposed in Charleston after a dinner at my all-time favorite restaurant (Magnolia’s!!), so I’d say […]
Kimberly and Marlon are such a sweet couple. I met them at my studio last year to chat about their big day, and I also got to spend time with Kimberly’s family at her bridal session just a few months ago! I LOVED spending time with them and I just knew that their wedding day […]
Ohhhh Tigre and Josh’s wedding was so much fun for SO many reasons! Last year, I photographed Josh’s twin bother’s wedding day (Caleb and Anna!!!) and their mom was my accountant for over a year!! When I arrived at the bridal suite on Tigre and Josh’s wedding day last weekend, it was SO fun to […]
