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.

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 […]
