Engagement sessions result in beautiful photos, but more importantly they’re a great opportunity to practice together in front of the camera BEFORE your wedding day. E-sessions are also a chance to build a more comfortable relationship with your photographer, which is why I always love when couples choose to add an engagement session to their […]

Intimate weddings have always held special place in my heart, and this beautiful day at Hotel Bennett in Charleston is still one of my favorites.

Walking through these times alongside our couples has been a roller coaster – equal parts heartbreak and happiness – but Courtney & Conner’s Charleston wedding was only joy.
