Well, we kicked off fall wedding season with a bang…because we kicked it off with Briana and Kyle’s wedding right after the HURRICANE! If you were watching the news at all last week, then you saw that Charleston got unexpectedly hit with Hurricane Ian as a Category 1. And, the storm made landfall the day […]
This blog post has been a long time coming…because this wedding day has been trying to happen since 2020!!! Hallie and Robbie booked me for their Ni River Manor wedding in Fredericksburg all the way back in 2019. After SO many reschedules, moving venues, Robbie’s crazy work and travel schedule…they were finally able to make […]
I don’t even know where to start with recapping this amazing day. There are very few weddings that I look forward to for WEEKS leading up to them…but Meredith and Mitch’s wedding was one of them! I have photographed the Melo family for years, and the fact that I felt like I was walking into […]
Whew…what a way to kick off my 2022 wedding season!!! Suzi and Sasa got married in Palm Beach, Florida last weekend with the most stunning and thoughtful wedding celebration. Every detail was absolutely beautiful (and the most perfect shade of HTP blue!)…but it was also full of sentimental details and sweet moments that were such […]

Buckle up…this is a long one!! It’s my LAST wedding of the 2021 season, and I went to high school with this sweet couple…so I may have added a few extra favorites into the blog post! I don’t even know where to start with how beautiful this day was. Not just visually at the breathtaking […]
I have spent MONTHS looking forward to photographing Jules and Zach’s Charleston wedding day! I photographed Jules’ sister’s wedding last year (the adorable Kat and Carter), so I knew Jules’s family before even coming into this wedding day. They are so full of genuine kindness and joy…it is such an honor to witness and be […]
I knew Annie and Ben’s wedding day was going to be special from the moment I met them at their Richmond engagement session. We did their engagement photos all the way back in January 2020…and their wedding date had to be rescheduled not ONCE, but TWICE. These two have been together for over 11 years […]
