I document weddings with an editorial eye and an intuitive approach—capturing not just how it looks, but how it feels. My work is thoughtful, artful, and deeply personal.
I photograph weddings at the intersection of art and experience—where composition, light, and feeling quietly come together.
My approach is thoughtful and unobtrusive. I allow moments to unfold naturally, offering gentle direction only when needed. The result is imagery that feels elevated yet honest—curated without being staged, emotional without being overstated.
I’m based in Charleston and photograph weddings both locally and worldwide.
Whether documenting a historic estate, a coastal celebration, or an intimate destination gathering, I approach every setting with sensitivity to light, place, and atmosphere—allowing the location to enhance your story, never overshadow it.

"From the very beginning, working with Cornelia felt effortless. She has a quiet, grounding presence that instantly put us at ease. Nothing felt forced or rushed—she allowed our day to unfold naturally while capturing it with so much intention. Every photograph feels intentional, emotional, and beautifully true to who we are."
Élodie & Pierre
Private Villa Wedding on the French Riviera
"We were drawn to Cornelia’s work for its refined, editorial quality, but what truly stood out was how personal the experience felt. She understood our vision without us having to over-explain. The images feel cinematic yet intimate."
Olivia & James
Coastal Celebration in Charleston, South Carolina
"Cornelia has a way of being present without ever being intrusive. She captured moments we didn’t even realize were happening—small gestures, quiet glances, real emotion. A calm presence we trusted completely. Her work feels like art, but it’s the emotion behind each image that makes it unforgettable."
We begin with a conversation—your vision, your story, and the details you hold dear.
This connection ensures your photographs reflect not only your day, but the essence of who you are. It’s where trust is built and the experience begins with intention and ease.
On your wedding day, we move with calm and purpose. Our approach is unobtrusive and intuitive—offering gentle guidance when needed, while allowing moments to unfold naturally.
We focus on light, emotion, and movement, documenting your day as it truly feels—refined, honest, and beautifully unforced.
After the celebration, we carefully curate your images into a cohesive, intentional narrative. Each photograph is selected and edited with care—never rushed, never overdone.
What you receive is a timeless collection that allows you to relive your day as it was experienced—meaningful, emotional, and enduring.
