Julie + Will included me in their full wedding weekend with rehearsal and wedding day coverage and I had an absolute blast getting to spend time with their family and friends that whole weekend. The wedding day featured incredible classic vibes and the venue was perfect for their style. Their first look on the stairwell at Merrimon Wynne will be a favorite of mine forever.

Sydney + Max first met me in downtown Charleston for their engagement session and we immediately hit it off. Their wedding was an even bigger smash hit!

McKenna is truly the sweetest photographer to work with! Her energy is so positive and happy and she makes you feel SO comfortable!! We did engagement photos at the beach and our wedding photos in the mountains with her, and she absolutely crushed both!
She gave great direction for posing and allowed everything to feel very natural for us. We were laughing the whole time, and from the sneak peeks we've received, we are OBSESSED!!! She is the best to work with and I could not recommend her enough!

CAMMY + TAYLOR
McKenna was the best photographer we could have asked for! Interacting with her felt easy and natural and we've been super impressed with the photos we received for our engagement shoot and the early wedding photos.
During our wedding, she was very professional and kept the wedding running smoothly, it felt like we had an extra wedding day coordinator with her. She handled changing plans easily and was super calm the whole night, which helped keep us at ease and she really helped make the wedding a massive success. We wanted to put this out so other couples will know to book her for their wedding. 5 stars feels like too low of a rating to give and we strongly recommend going with her for your wedding!
