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!!

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 […]
