Sea Island

Sea Island is a private resort island located along the Georgia coast, known for its luxurious amenities and natural beauty. The Cloister is one of the main accommodations on the island and is renowned for its elegant architecture and lush surroundings. The Ocean Forest Lawn, with its manicured gardens and views of the Atlantic Ocean, is a popular choice for outdoor ceremonies. Indoors, the Cloister Ballroom exudes timeless elegance with its chandeliers and classic decor.

The Spanish Lounge is one of my favorite spots at The Cloister in Sea Island for a romantic rehearsal dinner! It's the perfect space for a gathering with cocktails and live music. The food is exquisite and the architecture is beyond beautiful!

The Lawn

The Garden Lawn is a favorite for wedding ceremonies with tall trees and the solarium as the perfect backdrop. Located next to the Chapel, it makes the perfect spot for guests to experience the beauty of Sea Island!

Receptions

There are so many options for your reception, notably a tented reception ocean-side, or perhaps in the stately Mizner Ballroom. They are some of our favorite spots for guests to join in celebration!

Portraits

There is certainly no shortage of portrait locations around this beautiful property. The main building offers stunning staircases, but I love the outdoor spaces by the Chapel and Garden! The Black Banks Terrace also offers some beautiful settings by the water!

As I evolved as an artist, I found that what clients wanted from the photos they commissioned me for was to have powerful, deeply meaningful photos. Weddings satiate my desire for connection, my love for problem-solving, and my endless love of fashion. There’s no better feeling than presenting a newly married couple with their wedding photos and knowing that for years to come, they will look back on this day with awe and wonder through the photographs.

For me, connection is impossible without curiosity about other humans.
