I met up with Emily & Stephen at Cliffs at Glassy for their engagement session last summer and it was a fun evening!! If you’ve never been to Cliffs at Glassy know that no matter what time of year it is… it’s usually going to be about 10-15 degrees cooler there than it is when […]

We live in a world where photos are heavily edited and filtered. There’s nothing wrong with a photographer using filters or presets, but if the filter/preset completely alters the coloring of your wedding day where the images look like someone else’s wedding, that might be a problem. And this is a conversation I’ve had with […]

Sarah & Greer were married at the beginning of November at Bleckley Inn, in Anderson. But a few months prior to their wedding I met Sarah & her mom at Bleckley Inn to take her bridal portraits and y’all I was squealing the entire time!!!

We weren’t quite in the peak of the leaves changing but we were close so we were able to get beautiful fall […]

I met Carly back in 2021 when she was a bridesmaid at a wedding here in South Carolina. Less than a year later she was starting to plan her wedding back home in California and she messaged me and asked me if I’d be willing to travel to photograph her wedding day. Let’s just say […]

Hotel Domestique in Travelers Rest, South Carolina is one of my favorite destinations for weddings, elopements and engagement photos. The boutique hotel is a popular wedding venue and engagement photo session location. And it’s easy to see why. Its European-inspired architecture and landscaping mixed with stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains make you feel […]

In October I headed up the interstate to Asheville to do an engagement session at Biltmore. Y’all it was right as the leaves were changing so I was giddy from the moment I saw the first color on the trees in South Carolina till I laid my head on my bed that night!! Callie & […]
