Lowndes Grove – Charleston Wedding Venue

In February I had the opportunity to photograph a beautiful editorial at Lowndes Grove which is in Charleston, SC. The venue is nestled in the back of a neighborhood on the river and it is incredible. There are so many amazing locations inside the house as well as outside to photograph weddings and portraits and it is always an treat to document someone there.

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 […]
