Vanessa + Tim | Pepper Plantation Wedding
Every time I photograph a wedding I am reminded a little more why I love what I do. Vanessa and Tim's wedding was such a sweet reminder of how blessed I am to do what I love. This beautiful couple got married on a gorgeous November day at The Pavilion Pepper Plantation right before the most amazing Sunset.

This beautiful couple got married on a gorgeous November day at The Pavilion Pepper Plantation right before the most amazing Sunset.
Their portraits under the big oak tree, at sunset, are some of my favorites I've taken. At one point Tim stopped and danced with his bride under the Big Oak and it was pure sweetness. SWOON.
I loved that Vanessa had a hand in every little detail. She made a way for her wedding details to be personal and special to the two of them. She bought a ton of plain glassware, candle holders, birds, etc. and spray painted for weeks. She made her own gold "mercury glass" with a method she discovered on her own, with the help of her sister (and maid of honor ), while Tim watched and laughed often! The couple's dear friend, Ashley Knox, painted the bird painting for their "guest book" frame. It was also important to Tim and Vanessa that their special friends make a speech. They had fun teasing each other for weeks about whose would be better, funnier or make them cry the most! Vanessa shared with me that it was most special to her that Tim's mother and sister got ready and prepped with her and her bridal party, by their Glam Squad, with them that day. Vanessa's Great Uncle Glenn catered their amazing dinner as a gift to them, and their dear friend Melodie created the gorgeous cheese table for cocktail hour. It was so heartwarming to see how surrounded by love and support they were by their great friends and family on their special day.
Here are some of my favorite moments from their perfect wedding day.

Kelsey + Peter | Wickliffe House Wedding
Kelsey and Peter got married at The Wickliffe House early this Fall. Built in 1850 the Wickliffe House is a gracious mansion located in the Radcliffboro neighborhood in downtown Charleston. I got a chance to get to know this beautiful couple during their Engagement session we did earlier this year.

I got a chance to get to know this beautiful couple during their Engagement session we did earlier this year. Their Wickliffe House wedding day was so perfect and I feel so honored that I got to be there to document it. I am so glad that they opted for a "First Look" because it gave us the chance to do all of their portraits ahead of time. It worked out perfectly because we ended up getting rain right after the ceremony. But we still got to take some romantic pictures in the rain! I love when my couples embrace the rain and still venture out with those big clear umbrellas to take a few photos. Enjoy a few of my favorite images from their wedding day. Congratulations Kelsey and Peter!

Fifteen years of shooting Charleston weddings taught me this: the best photographer for you isn’t the one with the flashiest portfolio. Here’s what actually matters when you’re picking someone to capture your day, from style fit to turnaround time to what “unposed” really means.
