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.

Downtown Charleston Engagement: Meghan & Matt

Sometimes a photo shoot can be challenging. And sometimes you win at life and a shoot is all ponies and butterflies (and boats! and dogs!) and perfect golden sunlight.  It was so fun wandering around Charleston with Meghan and Matt! About halfway through the shoot, Matt gave me one of the best compliments you can give your photographer: that the photoshoot was actually fun! (Ps- engagement shoots should be fun!). So excited to share these images with y’all….happy Friday!

Cottage on the Creek Wedding: Lindsay & Bryan

I have been waiting ever so patiently for these two to return from their honeymoon so I could share their blog! I had the best time wrapping up a whirlwind October with Lindsay and Bryan’s wedding in Charleston. The sunlight *loves* these two (see: their engagement session). We lucked out with amazing weather and light and it truly was such a perfect wedding day. Enjoy!

Wedding at The Hermitage: Ashley & Andrew

These two got married on a chilly but gorgeous fall day at The Hermitage earlier this month. We were dying over the gorgeous red and orange fall color palette that was in everything from the bouquets and dresses to the cake! Looking through these photos, I have to say that there aren’t many guys who look at their ladies the way Andrew looks at Ashley. There were tears all around (guilty!) during the first look and ceremony. So so sweet. Congrats y’all!

“Until our song is over
Til the stars all fade to black
I’m gonna love you
To the ends of the Earth
To the moon and back
Yeah, I’m gonna love you
All the way to the moon and back
To the moon and back.”
