Editorial Wedding Photography
for couples who value presence, beauty, and honest moments.
CORNELIA
Editorial Photogprahy for the modern romantics
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.
Where Artistry Meets Emotion
ROOTED IN CHARLESTON
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.

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."

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."
