Charleston Wedding Photographer — Helping Your Vision Be Heard Loud and Clear 📣

Let’s be honest — wedding planning can feel like a full-time job. Between Pinterest boards, venue tours, vendor meetings, and trying to navigate everyone's unsolicited opinions, it’s easy to start feeling like your big day isn’t even yours anymore. If you’ve ever left a family dinner with more opinions than RSVPs, or second-guessed a color scheme because a distant cousin didn't like mauve, you’re not alone.

But here’s the truth: Your wedding should reflect YOU. Your love story, your personality, your vibe — not the collective opinions of a crowd that isn’t walking down the aisle.

Charleston Wedding Planning: Choose a Support System, NOT a Panel

In the whirlwind of wedding planning, it’s easy for your voice to get lost in the noise. But here’s the truth: your wedding day should reflect YOU. Your love story, your vibe, your dreams. When it comes to wedding planning you want to choose a support system over a panel. A panel will judge and critique your choices and actions at every turn. A support system will listen and create goals to help you achieve your dreams.  


Your wedding photographer should get you!

That’s where I come in. I’m not just here to show up with a camera and document the day — I’m here to see you. To understand your energy as a couple, to listen to your vision, and to help amplify the connection you share in every frame.

Charleston is full of beauty, charm, and history — but the real magic is you. My job? To reflect your story in images that feel as natural, intimate, and true-to-you as your relationship.

let's create some magic together

If you’re in the middle of wedding planning and starting to feel overwhelmed, take this as your permission slip to tune out the noise. This day is about you two. It’s okay to draw boundaries, it’s okay to protect your peace, and it’s more than okay (in fact I encourage it) to work with photographer who honor your vision.
