Welcome parties and rehearsal dinners are a great way to get your family and friends photo-comfortable and candid ready on the wedding day as well as documenting another gathering of your most favorite people.

Do we travel? Occasionally when all the stars align, we will road trip for either repeat planners or repeat families and Brookgreen Gardens is certainly worth the added miles.

Married in her family church of Nativity Catholic Church on James Island followed by reception at the ballroom at Embassy Suites Ferry Wharf hotel. So many nooks and spots to photo-play.

Putting an album together is another exciting part of the creative processing. The goal is for images to flow in a story form while honoring the time-line, cohesive lighting and emotions of the day.

Loved this light-hearted engagement session in historic downtown Charleston. These two New Yorkers brought their laughter, easy-going attitudes and an appreciation for each other that translated into effortless images.

A tight-knit group of family and friends came together to support and celebrate this couple for their wedding weekend on Kiawah. While their look is black tie luxe, their personalities are sunshine-warm with a family-first focus.

Engagement sessions are SO much more than engagement sessions. They are a double date with cameras. They are the easy peasy ice-breakers on a calm day rather than the BIG ice-breaker on the full day.
