Back in March of this year, before the crazy business of wedding season kicked off, I headed down to Charleston, South Carolina for two days! It was my first time visiting the South and it did not disappoint. Charleston was unbelievably gorgeous. I walked and walked and walked all around the town with my camera the first day I was there taking pictures. I absolutely loved walking along the water down by the Battery and literally could have kept walking along that path with that view of the water for hours. The gorgeous mansions and horse drawn carriage’s pulling visitors around just added to the charm of the city. The food was also on another level in Charleston! I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find any decent vegan and gluten free options in Charleston since seafood/southern comfort food rules down there, but I was pleasantly surprised! Motobar had the best brussels sprouts ever (I was so sad to find out that they recently closed), Taco Boy had the coolest vibe and absolutely killed it and there was a Jeni’s there too which has the best artisan ice cream! I so badly wish we had one in Detroit! Charleston, you stole my heart and I cannot wait to come back for another visit!
I saw so many weddings around downtown Charleston! I couldn’t resist snapping one of this gorgeous Battery Park Charleston wedding! White Point Gardens is such a gorgeous wedding location! I would absolutely love to photograph a destination wedding in Charleston, SC! Just throwing that out there universe! ;)
I want all of the pink houses.
We happened to wander down an old cobblestone street that made me feel like I was in Europe! These cute houses had the cutest doorways and I couldn’t resist sneaking up on the steps for a few photos.
When you catch the sunset in Charleston and the light looks like this, you naturally have to have a mini photoshoot!
Until next time South Carolina!
Most days you'll find me sitting at my kitchen counter, clad in a mix of J.Crew and Zara (in neutral colors, of course), pouring my heart into this business of mine while dancing along to my latest Spotify playlist and sipping on a cup of hot tea. I'm an award-winning, published wedding photographer that is obsessed with all things classic and elegant. I'm a former California girl, but a true Midwesterner at heart. I love warm hugs, live music and getting texts from my brides that they cried when they saw their wedding photos!! I live for mornings on my yoga mat and green juice after. Among friends, I'm known for never missing an episode of The Bachelor on Monday nights, overusing exclamation points, and disliking coffee (but loving coffee shops)!
