As a destination wedding photographer, my job often takes me to beautiful places with incredible people. My time spent with Luke and Annie was certainly one for the books, and culminated in an epic, early morning sunrise engagement session in Washington D.C. this spring! I had the pleasure of flying up to D.C. for a […]

One of my favorite parts about being a wedding photographer is all of the incredible places that I get to work at with my sweet couples for their engagement sessions and wedding days! This destination engagement session was no different – I had the pleasure of getting to work with the delightful Mackenzie and Jake […]

Heather and Elias’s classic Charleston engagement session was infused with springtime blooms, Spanish moss, and the sweetest love that can be captured on film. I have known Heather for years, after having the honor of doing her graduation portraits at Virginia Tech! So when she asked me if I was available for their wedding date […]

Salem and Noah braved the streets of historic Charleston on Saint Patrick’s Day this year for classic Charleston springtime engagement photos, and I am so glad we took the risk! Salem and Noah traveled down from the Charlotte, NC area for their session, and Charleston’s dreamy, springtime historic streets were truly showing off for us […]

For Katie and Bryan’s historic Charleston engagement session, they joined us all the way from Atlanta, Georgia to spend a sunny afternoon wandering the quaint streets and white sand shoreline of Charleston for their engagement portraits! I was tickled pink that they wanted to do their engagement session in Charleston, in that it will be […]

Amanda and Justin, what an incredible pair. Surrounded by their closest loved ones and families, they spent their day having an absolute blast with an incredible group of people! From candid first looks, to a oceanside sunset ceremony, to bride and groom portraits with our toes in the sand, ending with a dance-filled reception under the stars, I will truly never forget this beautiful, heartfelt day that was an honor to photograph and be a part of at the stunning Wild Dunes Resort!

When a couple drives hours and hours in the car to come hang out with you and spend the afternoon in Charleston, you know it’s going to be an unforgettable, romantic Charleston engagement session! Christina and Christian both are Virginia Tech alums like me, and Christina and I have known each other for years, having been in the same sorority during undergrad together!

To say I was tickled pink to get to photograph Tara & Griffin’s Washington D.C. engagement was an understatement! I had the delightful opportunity to meet and work with Tara a few years ago for her Virginia Tech graduation portrait session, so when she reached out to me about her and Griffin’s Merrimon-Wynne wedding next year, I knew it would be one for the books!

When Rebekah and Anthony initially contacted me about their Westin Hilton Head Resort Wedding, they had discussed how important Hilton Head was to them, their families, and their love story. I was so excited that they had chosen to get married in such a beautiful place that meant so much to them – so it was a no-brainer that we photographed their engagement session in Hilton Head Island, too!

Shaleatha and LaTroy chose Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina as a classic backdrop for their engagement photos, and I couldn’t be more thrilled at how epic these sunrise photographs turned out! They braved the early morning wakeup call to meet up with us at the beautiful Sullivan’s Island beach, and it was the perfect way to kickoff our time together.
