Wild Cotton Photography bio picture
  • Charleston SC Wedding Photographer: Hi! I'm Aly Greer, a wedding photographer for Charleston and worldwide. I share love stories, wedding tips, and photoshop magic. I love my family, coffee, donuts and dogs! Do we have anything in common?

    Photography in the Modern South: What does the "modern south" mean? For me, it means tradition with a twist. Think front porches, comfort food, bowties, nice manners...meets urban farming, pinterest projects, thrift store shopping, breaking the rules...and top it off with a little splash of "bless their heart." I live in Charleston (definitely the modern south), but am also available to travel worldwide.

Folly Beach Engagement: Mary Beth & Thomas

I am so happy to share this Folly Beach Engagement session with y’all! I met Mary Beth and Thomas briefly at a rehearsal dinner I was photographing two years ago and we have several mutual friends, so I was extra excited when she called me about her own wedding. Mary Beth and Thomas were so at ease with each other during their session – making each other laugh and going along with whatever I asked of them! Their wedding will be my last one of the 2019 season and it will be a good one. Happy Wednesday friends!

Gadsden House Wedding: Cariessa & Sid

Cariessa and Sid had a lovely brunch Gadsden House Wedding earlier this month and I am so happy to share it with you! This intimate and fun celebration had gorgeous florals and the morning ceremony was a great way to keep guests as cool as possible at an August wedding. 😉 Cariessa and Sid have such a strong, visible love for each other and it truly was a joy to photograph them. Enjoy!

Creek Club at I’On Wedding: Austin & Nick

Austin and Nick are married and this Creek Club at I’On Wedding was perfect (or purrfect) for all the cat lovers out there! Austin and Nick have a lot of family and friends, and I loved how they incorporated so many loved ones into their ceremony. The reception had subtle nods to Austin being an art teacher (like the creative seating chart!), and of course their two cats (via art that Austin created) were the focal point of the outdoor bar. 😉 One of my favorite parts of the day was the surprise choreographed dance that Austin and her bridesmaids performed at the reception. Enjoy!

Boone Hall Plantation Wedding: Sara & Wesley

I’m finishing up this Boone Hall Plantation wedding today and I’m so excited to share it with y’all! Photographing a friend’s wedding is something I always cherish. Sara and Wesley’s day was so full of laughter, emotion and sentimental details (and some of my favorite people!). Sara is one of the most thoughtful people I know, and to say I’m happy that she found her mate would be an understatement. (I cried when she told me she was getting engaged, I cried at one of her wedding showers, and surprise….cried at her wedding haha!) Sara is amazing at growing orchids, and it was only fitting that they were the main centerpiece throughout the reception. Wesley surprised us all with an original song he wrote for his bride, and this laid back summer reception kept everyone happy with an ice-cream truck and cocktail caravan. 🙂
