Gillian & Patrick | Avenue Wedding | Greenville Wedding Photographer

Gillian & Patrick were married at the Avenue on May 8th and y’all it was the most beautiful day for a rooftop wedding. Avenue is located in the heart of downtown Greenville and between the views of downtown and the sunsets that you can take in, it’s one of my favorite venues to photograph weddings. Gillian & Patrick do not live in Greenville but it is where they met and fell in love and so it was only fitting for them to return to Greenville to get married in a city that they love and that means so much to them. Their families and friends came in from all over the country to celebrate with them and y’all it was such a fun day and such an honor to document!!

The day was full of laughter, smiles, fun and happy tears!! From first looks with dads, to the first look between Gillian & Patrick as they saw each other on opposite sides of the aisle, to sweet toasts to so much fun dancing and singing and celebrating these two… the day was amazing and I am so excited to share more of it today with y’all!!!

Gillian & Patrick, thank y’all so much for wanting me to be your wedding photographer. I have LOVED getting to photograph this season of y’alls lives and am soo excited to see y’all be married!!!! I need y’all to let me know every time y’all are back in town so I can give y’all a hug!!!!

Photography is in my blood and seeking truth is in my soul. Which is a deep way of saying, I’ve loved to take photos for a really long time, y’all. I’d love to share my story with you then listen to yours.

When couples ask me about Charleston wedding season, I always start with the same honest truth: Charleston is gorgeous year-round, but timing makes all the difference for your photos. After photographing dozens of weddings in this beautiful city, I’ve learned which months give you that dreamy, effortless light and which ones require some serious strategy […]

When someone says “we’re really drawn to candid wedding photos,” I know exactly what they mean, but I also know it means something different to every couple. And honestly? That’s part of what I love about it. Because candid doesn’t mean chaotic, and it definitely doesn’t mean careless.  Candid means intentional presence. It means pausing […]

I took a trip to Knoxville, TN to document Sarah & Andy’s engagement session.  They wanted to do their session where they will be getting married in 2026 and it was the best decision ever!  Not only did I get to meet and hang out with Sarah & Andy, but I also was able to […]
