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.

Rachel & Ben were married on an incredible fall weekend in the upstate of South Carolina.  The weekend started out with family and friends celebrating these two at the Greenville Country Club for the rehearsal dinner.  The included hugs, the most beautiful toasts, and Ben grabbing his guitar and playing/singing for guests.  That evening set […]

For the last few years I’ve photographed Ballet Spartanburg’s performances of the Nutcracker.  It is an honor to capture these incredible students and professional dancers that share the stage for this family favorite in the heart of Spartanburg, SC.  Most years I capture the dress rehearsals, this past year due to a wedding in Charleston […]

After 18 years and hundreds & hundreds of weddings, I’ve had a front-row seat to some of the most thoughtful, personal, and beautifully designed wedding days across the Southeast. And when couples ask me what I remember most about a wedding, the answer is almost always the details. I think about the invitation suite printed […]
