Whitney and several of my good friends were in a sorority together at Clemson University, so we first met in passing several years ago. Flash forward to her engagement […]

A summer wedding in the pavilion. When I photographed Carrie and Cam’s engagement photos back in December of 2020, I quickly learned they were Rock Hill celebrities. Every corner we turned on the main street, someone was calling their name and waving them down to say hello. You could feel the love the community had […]

It’s no secret by now that the pandemic has changed the game for weddings. Jenny and Jeff were initially supposed to get married in the summer of 2020.

I always love photographing a new place for bridal portraits, so I was incredibly excited when Carrie took me to the historic White Home in Rock Hill, South Carolina.  This venue offers a timeless elegance and southern charm that was the perfect setting for capturing Carrie in her bridal moments.  My favorite part of her […]

Let me tell y’all about Hannah and Matt.  This April day had the most perfect weather and I had the best time exploring a venue that was new to me.  If you’re not familiar with Tipsy Goat Estate, this house’s bricks date back to the pre-Civil War era and the back of the house still […]
