Kelsey & Tate | The Peninsula Club | Charlotte Wedding Photographer

Kelsey & Tate were married overlooking Lake Norman at The Peninsula Club. The day was one of those days that you couldn’t beat weather wise. There was a cloud in the sky and it was just right with the temperature.

Kelsey got ready with her ladies at her parents house where even her sweet pup took part in the action. There was so much joy & laughter throughout the morning and then super happy tears from Kelsey’s dad when he watched her walk out the front doors in her wedding dress. The day was filled with sweet moments that included laughter, smiles, happy tears and awe.

Kelsey & Tate decided to do a first look so that they could not only spend more time together on their wedding day, but so they could also spend more time with their people. Their wedding party and families were the best!! The support and love that poured out of each one of them all day was incredible. Every single person that was at the wedding had the best time!!

I am so excited to share just a handful of their wedding images with you all!!

Kelsey & Tate, your wedding day was a dream!! Than you so much for wanting me to capture it for you!!

A huge shout out to the team that made Kelsey & Tate’s day happen!!

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. […]
