Based in Charleston and traveling

Your wedding day shouldn’t feel like a production. I blend documentary storytelling with soft editorial direction to create images that feel true, elevated, and completely you.

Ava captured our wedding exactly the way that it felt

From the moment we booked, Ava guided us through everything with such ease. Our engagement session felt natural and fun, and our wedding gallery is absolutely stunning.
