Charleston Wedding Photography for Couples Who Want Real Moments
Guided when you need it. Candid when it matters most.


Natural, Story-Driven Wedding Photography in Charleston, SC
Capturing real moments as they unfold, with thoughtful guidance and an eye for connection.
I photograph weddings with a documentary, photojournalistic approach, focusing on genuine connection, movement, and emotion. My style is bright, natural, and true to life, with careful attention to composition and light in camera, and thoughtful editing that enhances rather than transforms.
Based in the greater Charleston, SC area, I specialize in weddings while also offering portraits for couples and families who value imagery that feels effortless, honest, and timeless.
A Calm, Intentional Approach
The best photographs happen when people feel comfortable enough to be themselves. I’ll guide you when it’s helpful, then step back and let moments unfold naturally. No stiff posing, no forced smiles.
Whether it’s a quiet breath before the ceremony or a full dance floor later in the evening, my goal is to document your day as it felt, not just how it looked.
