Whenever I talk with couples about the timing of their engagement sessions, I always give them the choice of doing it at sunrise or close to sunset. Nine times out of ten everyone chooses to do it at sunset. And listen, I get it! I’m a night owl by nature, so getting up before it’s light out […]

Walk around downtown Charleston on any given day and you’ll see a number of different photo shoots going. From weddings to engagements to local bloggers, it’s pretty rare that you won’t see at least one. So for the residents of Charleston, it means that there’s often people milling about outside of their homes. That was […]

When you meet at a local bar for a drink or two before the engagement session with both the couple AND one of your great friends who happens to also be their planner, you know it’s going to be a great session! And that’s exactly what happened with Kelly and Stephen’s engagement shoot. We met up before […]

After putting together my best of weddings blog post for my 2019 #kdyecouple family, it got me reminiscing about all of their amazing engagement sessions that I shot in preparation for their big days!

Melissa’s attitude was infectious upon […]

When you first lay eyes on Jane and Andrew you see two stunningly gorgeous people who look like they could have just walked out of a magazine. And it would be easy to only see their outward appearances, but honestly you would be missing out on two amazing people if you were to stop there. Because […]

I am not quite sure if I have ever shot a wedding with quite so many personal touches as all the ones that were present in Erin and Adam’s wedding this past November at The Dewberry Hotel in downtown Charleston. Erin and Adam managed to incorporate so much of what is important to them and their families […]

  “I want my dress to look like it has maximum sparkle.” When a bride says those words to you shortly after you arrive to photograph their wedding, you know that it’s going to be a good day. Because who doesn’t love a little sparkle? And that’s what both Devon’s dress and Devon herself did […]

From the moment I met with Kim and Connor last year at Vintage Coffee Company, I could not wait to shoot their wedding. They exude warmth, and humor, and an overall sense of kindness that makes you feel at home with the two of them. I knew this feeling would carry over to their wedding […]
