There’s nowhere like it. Historic homes with wraparound piazzas, oak trees dripping with Spanish moss, secret gardens, and candlelit courtyards. It’s a city made for celebrating—a place where your wedding can feel like an entire weekend getaway with the people you love most.
And trust me, after ten years of living and photographing here, I know exactly how to help you make the most of it!
Charleston will always feel like home. I spent over a decade photographing weddings here, wandering the cobblestone streets, and learning every hidden corner of those grand old venues. Even now, I come back often to capture the kind of celebrations that make this city so special—colorful, full of life, and always personal!
"We love that you captured the true essence of our wedding day -not just the pretty photos, but all of the fun moments that made it memorable!"
AS SEEN IN
Your style. Your weird little details. You being yourselves, all day. Whether we’re guiding portraits or catching quiet in-between moments, the goal is always the same: photos that feel like you.
The people who show up for you. Who celebrate you hard, cry with you, and make sure you actually enjoy the day. The ones who know you best, all in one place. Because when you look back, you’ll want to remember how it felt to have them there.
It’s the clinking glasses, the design you obsessed over, the friends who keep the dance floor packed. The party is where it all comes together—loud, messy, and so you.

I know which venues get the best light at golden hour. I’ve worked with the best planners in town to keep things moving without stress. I know how to plan for Charleston’s heat and humidity, how to navigate downtown for portraits without killing your timeline, and where to sneak away for a private moment when the party is in full swing.
Even though I’m now based in Florida, Charleston is always just a short trip away—and it still feels like a second home.
"It's obvious that you have a ton of experience as wedding photographers, so knowing that you both knew what you were doing helped us relax and not worry we weren't going to get pictures that we were hoping to get. You were the perfect balance of being present -getting posed portraits, fixing my hair, etc- and sort of fading into the background to capture candids."
We’re not gonna hijack your wedding and turn it into a content shoot. No ten-minute veil fluffing. No standing still while your drink gets warm. No weird silence while we figure out where your hands go.
You hired us so you can actually be there—hugging your friends, crying during toasts, making out during golden hour, vibing through every second of the weekend without wondering if anyone’s getting the shot (we are).
We’ve done this a few hundred times, and we know when to step in and give quick, confident direction—and when to back off and let it all unfold. Think of us as your behind-the-scenes calm crew with timeline ESP and a sixth sense for when a really good moment is about to unfold.
You enjoy the party. We’ll catch the proof.
You’re planning something that looks good, feels good, and means something. You’ve got a vision but not a Pinterest checklist. You care deeply about how the day flows, how your people feel, and how present you get to be.
You want portraits that feel relaxed and editorial-ish, not stiff. Candids that feel personal, not performative. A photographer who knows when to fix your hair, when to speak up, and when to quietly step back.
You’ve got style (lean into your weird!), but you're not here to put on a show. You're planning a weekend that’s beautifully thought-out and wildly fun—and you want the photos to match.
After so many years here, I’ve photographed nearly every type of venue—from historic homes downtown to sprawling Lowcountry estates, but of course, I have my favorites!

"Katie & Jay have a way of capturing the moments you didn’t even know to ask for—my husband helping his dad with his bow tie in slippers, my mom hugging me after the ceremony, my husband sitting and talking with our niece and nephew during portraits. Not one of those was on a shot list, but they’re already family treasures"
“GIRL!! Literally you are EVERYTHING! You are the most amazing photographer. Somehow you’re both type A and B all at the same time. You kept us on track and eased any tensions all at the same time, I felt like we were best friends. You are the most perfect wedding photographer and I could not be more grateful for the role you played! We ALL love both of you so much and are so grateful for you and being a part of our wedding!”
