Sheridan and Parker tied the knot at a private residence that is very meaningful to their family. It was the most gorgeous blush pink wedding in Taylors, SC. I cannot wait to share more from this wedding with you on the blog today!
Choosing to celebrate their special day in this intimate setting allowed highlighted their love for family and tradition. Sheridan’s vision for her wedding day was “effortlessly put together, romantic, and simple with antique/thrifted decor.” She definitely accomplished this vision! The prettiest hues of blush and light pink were all around, and I was obsessed with the setup!
Here is what Sheridan and Parker had to say about their experience with me as their wedding photographer:
“You were confident. The photos didn’t feel awkward or too posed. You gave great direction when needed but also stepped back to capture the perfect candids and emotion shots. You were so very kind and created a space that felt comforting and safe on a day that could be stressful. Also, the photographs turned out beautifully and true to life on that day.“
I’m not crying, you’re crying! Getting sweet feedback like this from my couples is just the best! I don’t ever take it lightly that my job is to preserve lasting legacies for my couples. And it’s just a cherry on top when they have such kind things to say about the experience.
Keep scrolling for all the pretty images from their blush pink wedding in Taylors, SC. And a big congratulations, Sheridan and Parker!

I’ve known Maddie since she was little. She cheered with my little sister at Blue Ridge High School. So this wedding at Southern Bleachery was extra special for me! Maddie and Ethan are the epitome of a sweet couple. You can just feel the love they have for each other when you’re around them. Their wedding day was no different. Maddie describes Ethan as “kind, patient, intelligent, hardworking, faithful.” And I have loved getting to know Ethan and see how perfect he is for Maddie.
There were so many favorite parts of this wedding day that I loved watching unfold. Maddie and Ethan’s ceremony was centered around God, and you could tell that their relationship with him will be at the center of their marriage. Maddie and Ethan finished out the night by sharing a private last dance while guests were getting ready outside for the fun sparkler exit. And the best part? It won’t be long before I see this happy couple again! I’ll be photographing Maddie’s sister (Brooke) wedding this Fall. And the sweet connection there is that Brooke and I actually graduated.

When you think of a Greenville wedding, not everyone remembers we have a gorgeous venue just up the road at Cliffs Glassy Chapel. The views here are breathtaking! And Doogie and Katherine chose this location to celebrate tying the knot. I can’t wait for you to see more of these images on the blog today!
Katherine, a doctor who has conquered Mt. Everest and meditated with monks, is an amazing person! And you could tell the love she shares with Doogie is super special. When I asked about their love story, they said, “We are a great team, and while we don’t always agree we always strive to be better together.” Isn’t that what love and life is all about?
When it came to their wedding day, these two were among the most easy-going of my couples. Their only request? To feel joy on their wedding day, and they got it. You could feel the joy from floor to ceiling in the gorgeous chapel. We were surrounded by the natural splendor of the mountains as a breathtaking backdrop for the couple’s vows. And this self-proclaimed introverted duo totally rocked their portrait time with me!
We then made the trek back down the mountain for fun and dinner at Topsoil restaurant. Right in the heart of Greenville, Topsoil offers a contemporary and intimate space for celebrating. Katherine’s determined spirit was reflected in the personalized touches, from the curated menu to the stylish decor. And as the sun dipped below the horizon, the city’s lights created an amazing view for the night.
Join me in congratulating Katherine & Doogie on their start of an amazing life together! Cheers!!

Join me as we relive Mckenzie and Khalid’s gorgeous wedding at The Rutherford. This day was incredible and filled with family. I was so honored to take part in this couple’s love story.
These two met on Mckenzie’s 22nd birthday (10 years ago!) and hit it off from there. They loved each other’s fun and outgoing personalities from the start. The couple said, “We’d be the couple on the dance floor doing the robot and running man trying to make others laugh at our silly moves.”
Four years ago, their lives changed when their daughter arrived! Mckenzie and Khalid found out they were pregnant in August 2020 and eloped in October 2020. It was such an exciting time for them! “Living together and being married has been the most fun and we have so much to be thankful for now with Merritt and the life we are blessed with. Our younger selves would be so proud and happy to know we made it!!”
Surrounded by family and friends, Mckenzie and Khalid exchanged vows committing forever to one another. McKenzie, a vision of grace in her gown, and their daughter wore a white dress to match. She is the cutest!
The Rutherford’s exposed brick walls and lofty ceilings offer a rustic yet sophisticated atmosphere. The intimate courtyard is complete with romantic twinkling lights. And I love taking portraits out here once the sun gets a little lower in the sky. I really appreciate how this venue’s versatility allows for seamless transitions from ceremony and wedding vows to the getting down on the dance floor.
McKenzie and Khalid’s wedding at The Rutherford was a celebration of family and commitment. You could just sense the sheer amount of love these two have from their families, and I was so honored to capture that. Cheers to the happy couple and the timeless charm of The Rutherford!

Fall weddings in the south have my heart! I’m so excited to share Hannah-Grace and Hunter’s stunning Schoolhouse Venue wedding with you.
Schoolhouse Venue looks the most beautiful during the fall season. The exposed brick walls and vintage hardwood floors complement the natural beauty of the property. I love that you can dress the space up or down based on the vibe for your wedding. And the two separated levels of the venue make the transition from ceremony to reception totally seamless.
Hannah-Grace and Hunter’s fall wedding at Schoolhouse Venue was the perfect mix southern charm and peak autumn colors. The venue’s historic aesthetic was the perfect backdrop for these two to become one! I also want to share some of my top tips for amazing wedding photos here.
