    McKenna and Will got married in the small town of Teachey, North Carolina in November at their local Corinth Baptist Church. These two are some of the sweetest humans, and their family and friends were more of the same. They made me feel like more of a guest than their photographer, and I just LOVE when my bride trusts me so much that she never once tells me what to do. Trusting your photographer is a huge thing and it really gives me room to be my most creative self, instead of being provided a giant list of requested shots, McKenna knew she already liked my work and she let me do my thing. During her bridal portraits and their engagement session we kept waiting to catch the colors of the sunset, and both times we failed to get one, but I believe mother nature was just WAITING to surprise us with a stunning sunset on their wedding day. We finally got our sunset photos and yessssss it was absolutely worth the wait! From her beautiful dress, to the simple greenery and reception decor, this wedding was done perfectly. Nothing too over the top, and just perfectly down to earth, just like McKenna and Will. I could tell they had been waiting for this day for a LONG time, they were so excited to finally say their I-do’s. I’m so happy that my last wedding of 2018 was able to be spent with these two and their closest loved ones – congratulations and wishing many many many years of happiness to you both! Now go look at some of my favorites from their day :)

    Brittany and Andrew are a sweet couple from New York, who traveled all the way to Charleston, South Carolina for their wedding. They got married with a small group of family and close friends at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, on a day that was originally a 100% chance of thunderstorms the entire day – and the rain gods were absolutely on our side when we woke up and it just remained perfectly cloudy all day long. This was my first chance to photograph a wedding in Charleston and let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint. Endless amounts of Spanish moss draped from the trees, and we were surrounded by stunning greenery and the Carriage House itself was sweet and stunning. I fell in love with their minimal decor including multiple chandeliers made of hanging greenery. These two did a first look underneath gigantic green and flowing trees, followed by a small ceremony behind the Carriage House. Their bridal party was a blast, and their family was so ecstatic about this union, they had clearly been an unofficial part of each others families for a long time now. Congrats to this wonderful pair, I wish you both endless years of happy marriage.
