Lowndes Grove Spring Wedding | Bri & Chris

Bri & Chris were married at Lowndes Grove which is located in Charleston, SC. The day was incredible. When we walked into the door we knew that it was going to be a day filled with joy, happy tears, and a whole lot of celebrating!! And we were NOT disappointed.

When I first talked to Bri she told me “we want to do personal vows but those are going to have to be before I have my makeup done b/c I will ruin it if we do it after.” So “how a wedding day ‘normally’ flows” went out the window!! It may have meant the guys had to arrive earlier and be dressed a tad earlier but I would say that we all knew it was worth it and I don’t think the guys complained too much ;)!!

Bri & Chris’ personal vows were done back to back and they were crying and had my whole team crying. The love that these two have for one another AND each others family & friends is something you don’t always find and it was incredible to see/hear/witness on this day. Those vows set the tone for their whole day and made it the most special day for these two. The hugs, the tears, the laughter, the unbridled joy… it was all contagious and such an honor to document.

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.

I photographed a wedding at a private estate two years ago where hair and makeup ran behind. We went from having an hour and a half for all of the portraits to having thirty minutes, and that thirty minutes still had to cover the bride and groom, the wedding party, and both families. While we […]

Palm Springs, California is one of those places you visit and you’ll never forget!! I loved my time there and really enjoyed my time with Sasha & Chloe for their session amongst the windmills!! We had so much fun and I’m so excited to share a handful of my favorite images from my session with […]

I was standing on a porch in Highlands last fall, watching the fog roll down over the mountains while a bride got her veil pinned in by her mom. Nobody was rushing. There was coffee going cold on a side table and somebody’s grandfather telling a story in the next room. And I remember thinking: […]
