    Dreaming of a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon and stu Dreaming of a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon and stunning wedding photos? ✨ Eloping in Charleston might be the answer.

By choosing an intimate elopement in one of Charleston’s charming historic spots or hidden gardens, you can save thousands—and put that toward an unforgettable honeymoon adventure (think: overwater bungalows, European wine country, or a dream safari 🥂).

Elopement doesn’t mean skipping the beauty or the memories. You still deserve thoughtful, elegant photography that captures your love story with intention.

Let the day be simple, stress-free, and completely focused on the two of you—while I take care of making it look and feel unforgettable.

    There’s something undeniably magical about a sun There’s something undeniably magical about a sunset wedding at Lowndes Grove. ✨ With its historic charm and Ashley River views, this Charleston wedding venue offers a timeless backdrop that’s every bit as romantic as it is elegant.

From golden-hour ceremonies on the riverfront lawn to dreamy portraits on the private dock, this venue delivers unforgettable moments (and incredible light!) every single time. 🌅💍

Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, Lowndes Grove transforms beautifully to fit your vision — and I’ve had the joy of capturing it all.

Choosing the right wedding venue is personal. So trust how a place makes you feel when you step into it. Can you see yourself saying “I do” there? Does it align with your story?

I’ve photographed countless weddings across Charleston, but Lowndes Grove always has my heart. If this feels like your kind of place, I’d love to document your day — not just how it looked, but how it felt. 💛
