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 […]
Featured on Style Me Pretty! From SMP: This is just a universal wedding truth – Southern weddings are the sweetest. They are charming, romantic, nostalgic.. we could go on for days. Today’s gorgeous wedding in Savannah is the perfect example of why we love Southern weddings so much. Emily Burton Designs knew exactly what to do when […]
Well, we are just over the moon that Francesca and Justin’s Vow Renewal was featured over on none other than Martha Stewart Weddings. For Francesca and Justin—who were married on October 18, 2008—their ten-year anniversary marked a decade of change. “We tested the ‘in sickness’ and ‘in health’ part of our vows a little too soon,” says Francesca of […]
As seen on Magnolia Rouge. We may be nearing the end of Summer, but we’re not letting go of vibrant colors quite yet! So excited to finally share these images that are full of our favorite wedding day accents – lemon, apricot, peach & olive leaf! If you’re looking for beautiful Summer inspiration for […]
Amanda + Hitch met through mutual friends; Amanda was living in Charleston while Hitch was living in Savannah. As fate would have it, the two joined their group of friends in 2013 on the adventure of a lifetime called Yacht Week. The group of friends sales the British Virgin Islands for a week – Hitch […]
Happy Friday! We’re racing towards the weekend! What about you guys?! Brooke + Tim are set to wed next May at Charleston’s Confederate Home with a reception at Merchant’s Hall. Both venues are beautiful and set with neutral, earthy tones. To balance that, the two opted into a fun and colorful downtown Charleston engagement session, and […]
We were lucky enough to visit France at the end of March this year. This time of year is our absolute favorite. There’s a chill to the air, Spring has yet to arrive…but you can see buds everywhere. Trees and flowers are almost begging to bloom. This was Justin’s first trip across the Atlantic Ocean […]
From Flutter Magazine: “Sunshine, sea, and the sand. This wedding will sweep you away in coastal cool. The spirit of Alys Beach in Florida shines bright with heart-fluttering architecture and design, lush green landscapes, Southern charm, splendid white sand beaches, and delectable dining. The one-of-a-kind gulf coast community exudes “chic” and is the perfect place […]
I’m Justin - a wedding photographer based in the Lowcountry, working throughout Charleston, Savannah, and wherever a great celebration takes us.
My work is rooted in storytelling with an editorial edge: romantic images that feel effortless, candid moments that never feel staged, and photographs that will still feel timeless decades from now.
Weddings move fast, and the best parts are rarely the perfectly planned ones — they’re the in-between moments. The quiet before the ceremony. The way someone reaches for your hand without thinking. The chaos and joy of the dance floor.
That’s what I’m always watching for.
Most days you’ll find me editing with Scout, Cullen, Max, and Bear at my feet, probably thinking about light, film, and how to make images feel the way a moment actually felt — not just how it looked.
I photograph weddings for couples who care about presence, style, and experience, and who want their day documented with intention… without turning it into a production.
You can expect a balance of timeless portraits, emotional storytelling, gentle direction when needed, and plenty of space for the day to unfold naturally.
I shoot primarily digital, with touches of 35mm film woven in for texture and a little extra soul. At the end of the day, my goal is simple:
To give you images that feel like your wedding felt.
If that resonates, I’d love to connect.
