We had a stunning bridal portrait session at the historic Providence Cotton Mill earlier this past Summer, and I’m excited to finally share these! Casey (now Mrs. Christopher) made a most beautiful bride in her elegant Kitty Chen couture dress. One of my favorite parts of her bridal look was her long, dreamy, vintage veil. We took […]

I love sharing tips with brides and couples for smoother wedding planning. I want to layout some major benefits of doing a bridal session. If you […]

Stephanie and Jeremy had all the fairytale ‘feels’ on their wedding day in Rock Hill, SC this past Summer at the Brakefield. These two had a ‘storybook wedding’ — literally.

When Katherine and Chris suggested the lovely Reynolda Gardens in North Carolina, I was excited to explore there. These two were so cute together between laughs, kisses, twirls, and dips. Engagement sessions should be fun! I […]

I love Chelsea’s bridal portraits! She was such a stunning bride in her unique gown from Allure Bridal. We walked through the South Carolina Botanical Gardens catching some pretty light, and we ended our shoot with her fun fur baby. Check out the pictures at the end with her golden doodle — the dog is […]

Blake and Kristin are such a cute couple, and I’m grateful they chose me to capture this special moment. It was my first time at this quaint venue in Clemson, SC, and what a great fit it was for their beautiful day. I absolutely loved Kristin’s elegant gown paired with her ‘tiffany blue’ bridesmaids dresses. […]

Miles and Mayra were high school sweethearts who became life long bffs and got married this past Spring. Their friendship dates all the way back to the 9th grade as they had gym class with one another, and today these two are just perfect together. They make one gorgeous couple, and I love how casual […]
