Lowndes Grove is truly just a dream venue here in Charleston, South Carolina. One day while having coffee with Cayleigh of The Petal Report – we brought up the idea of a bloom-centered butterfly inspired Spring soiree! Yeah – kind of a lot! Haha. But as we began to discuss ideas of lace tablecloths, watercolor paper goods and a custom locally crafted wedding gown… we just knew that we had to turn this dream into a reality!

Along with an incredible team of vendors, we had the pleasure of photographing this dreamy editorial and it is now featured in the new issue of Charleston Weddings Magazine!

I’m Justin — a wedding photographer based in the Lowcountry, photographing celebrations throughout Charleston, Savannah, and wherever the good stuff happens.

My work lives somewhere between documentary and editorial. Honest moments. Strong photographs. Images that feel effortless without looking manufactured.

Because the truth is, the best parts of a wedding are rarely the ones on the timeline.

They’re the deep breath before the ceremony. The grip of a hand when nobody’s watching. The champagne-fueled chaos that erupts once the dance floor opens.

That’s what I’m looking for.

I’m less interested in perfection and more interested in feeling. The real stuff. The fleeting stuff. The moments you'll remember and the ones you didn't even realize were happening.

Most days I'm buried in a gallery, coffee within reach, our four dogs causing problems somewhere nearby.

I photograph weddings for couples who care about experience, style, and being fully present. Couples who want incredible images without spending their entire wedding day posing for them.

You can expect a mix of timeless portraits, honest storytelling, gentle direction when needed, and plenty of room for the day to unfold naturally.

I shoot primarily digital, with touches of 35mm film woven in for texture, character, and a little extra soul.

At the end of the day, my job is simple:

To make photographs that feel like your wedding felt.
