William Aiken House | Charleston Wedding Photographer

Bride inside William Aiken House

The first time I stepped foot in Charleston I fell in love!! Since I was 19 years old I have fallen a little deeper in love with each time I visit the city. It was the place where Gary & I got engaged, we’ve vacationed, celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary… and I’ve had the opportunity over the last few years to visit many many many time to photograph styled shoots, engagement sessions, bridal portraits, family photos, senior sessions and weddings!!

When we moved from Texas back to the east coast 9 years ago one of my dreams was to photograph peoples memories in one of my favorite cities and that dream has happened and continues to happen and I really just don’t have the words to describe how I feel about it!!

In February I had the opportunity to learn from a friend/fellow photographer Julie Livingston at the William Aiken House. Not only did I get to learn from her, I had the chance to photograph a styled session with her and it was gorgeous. She worked along side Sarah Lillie Designs and what they created was romantic, beautiful and so different from anything I think I’ve documented. If you ever have the opportunity to visit the William Aiken House you will not be disappointed. It is very Charleston and southern and it a beautiful wedding venue in the heart of downtown Charleston.

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.

Nestled in the heart of Highlands, North Carolina, Old Edwards is one of those venues that feels like it was made for moments that matter. Elegant, inviting, and effortlessly timeless, it draws in couples who want more than a pretty backdrop. They want a full weekend surrounded by their people, steeped in joy, and filled […]

When couples ask me about Charleston wedding season, I always start with the same honest truth: Charleston is gorgeous year-round, but timing makes all the difference for your photos. 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 […]
