    If you're dreaming of a wedding surrounded by time If you're dreaming of a wedding surrounded by timeless beauty and rich history, Middleton Place is one of Charleston’s most breathtaking venues. 🌿

With 65 acres of landscaped gardens—the oldest in America—it offers elegant views in every direction, no matter the season. One of my favorite ceremony spots overlooks the Ashley River at sunset... I've photographed hundreds of weddings, but this one always brings a lump to my throat.

The terraced lawns, reflection pools, and seasonal blooms create effortlessly stunning backdrops. You barely need decor—nature sets the scene.

Planning your Charleston wedding? Middleton Place is truly unforgettable.

    When I’m not capturing crazy-in-love couples, I’m a proud mama of two kids and three fur babies 🐶😺👧👦. Life is full—and I love it that way!

Yoga is my go-to for keeping calm and centered, which comes in handy when I’m bringing steady energy and focus to your big day. ✨

Coffee lover? Same. Let’s chat wedding details over cold brew at one of my favorite Charleston coffee shops ☕️

And beach life? Totally my vibe. My own Charleston wedding reception was held at Patriot’s Point Beach, reggae band and all—because this southern girl lives for sand between her toes 🌴
