Amazing Millia London Editorial Charleston

THESE MILLIA LONDON PHOTOS NOW FEATURED IN SOUTH MAGAZINE’S POWER + STYLE ISSUE SUMMER 2021

About halfway to Charleston, South Carolina and I realized I may look a bit crazy with my entire backseat full of camera equipment and a trunk load of cotton candy colored dresses. I had a bunch of beautiful gowns from the incredibly talented designer Millia London and I couldn’t wait to get them on the colorful streets of Rainbow Row!

I absolutely loved getting to photograph the sweet Victoria Vesce on Seabrook Island beach at sunrise for the first day of my Charleston excursion. She was such an absolutely wonderful person to work with and truly rocked the gorgeous Millia London gown! The hair and makeup by Julia Sorrenson was flawless and was the definition of natural beauty.

Seabrook Island is always a favorite place of mine because it’s so calm and untouched. The Seabrook Island community is so protective over their beaches and takes care to keep the area maintained. We wandered out to the beach at sunrise and the pastel pink glow was definitely worth the early wakeup time!

These Millia London gowns are hand crafted by the designer in London, England and made their first Charleston debut for this shoot! The over-the-top designs and eccentric color palette has made these gowns a fast favorite in the fashion industry! They photograph so well and I love getting any excuse to work with Millia London because of it!

hi, i'm danielle—

In the past 10+ years as a Wedding & Portrait Photographer, I’ve found that, aside from arming myself with my cameras to catch swoon-worthy moments of my couples on their day, I’m also bringing a few other unexpected things. 

Like my tough love mom-voice that will keep your bridal party in check, my air of calm if you’re feeling overwhelmed, and the corniest jokes so no one has the jitters in front of the camera!

Because so much more goes into getting those gorgeous wedding photos than just hitting “click!”

and I'm not just bringing my camera to your big day.

Wanna know what you need for                        
detail photos?

In the hundreds of weddings I’ve photographed, I’ve created as many different flat lays as you can imagine. And so I’ve curated a complete list of must-have items for you to gather so your detail photos are even more special. For the free list, enter your email below:
