The Venue
montage Palmetto Bluff wedding photographer
Over 10 years of photographing and filming weddings here, as an official preferred vendor of Montage Palmetto Bluff.
Why I Keep Coming Back
I have been photographing and filming weddings at Palmetto Bluff for over 10 years, and I am proud to be an official preferred vendor of Montage Palmetto Bluff. Montage calls it a 20,000 acre community between Hilton Head and Savannah, and it photographs like one. Chapels, long lawns down to the May River, oaks and boardwalks, and a village that feels like it has been there forever.
Moss draped oaks, marsh and golden hour light are my specialty, with about 400 of my weddings in the Lowcountry. After that many weddings here, I already know where the light falls at four o'clock on each lawn, and how the Montage team runs a day.

How I Would Plan It
- Keep a short portrait window in the late afternoon light, instead of pushing every couple portrait right after the ceremony.
- Plan the walk. The chapels, the lawns and the river are spread out, so give the timeline room to move between them.
- If your reception has alcohol and your guests are staying somewhere else, I would strongly consider organized transportation.
- Book photo and film together and one team plans the whole day, so nobody is standing in the other one's shot.
