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.

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 […]
