Hotel Hartness – Greenville, SC Wedding Photographer

I have been over the moon about Hotel Hartness ever since I saw the first digital renderings online. I couldn’t wait for this beautiful boutique hotel to open outside of Greenville, SC. This time last year I first stepped foot on the property and I was instantly smitten. I walked around with my friend Renee Burroughs dreaming and giggling over how much loved it. I then had the opportunity a few weeks later of touring the entire property with Carly the Director of Catering and I had so much fun learning about the property and hearing about their plans for events and guests.

I remember getting into my car and immediately contacting Renee to tell her all about what I had leared about the property and to start dreaming about future weddings and events. Fast forward a few months and I reached out to both Carly & Renee to see if I could document a wedding editorial on the property. When Carly gave me the thumbs up I was over the moon. I immediately started chatting with Renee about the vision I was having and getting all the details into place. Y’all everything turned out beautifully and I am so excited to share just a handful of the images from the editorial with you all.

A huge thank you to Hotel Hartness for letting us use their incredible property as the backdrop. I am looking forward to documenting many weddings here in the years to come!!

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 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 […]

Greenville, you’ve been a beautiful backdrop—but lately, I’ve fallen hard for something else: private estate weddings. If you’re dreaming of tying the knot somewhere that’s more your world than a checklist, a family home‑turned‑wedding‑day‑stage is where the real magic happens. Why private estates feel so right Authentic comfort from beginning to end It’s your space. […]
