Linda Warner
Owner, Lead Planner
As the owner and head planner for Pinnacle Weddings I have been able to watch this company grow into more than just a wedding planning company, but rather a family of individuals working as a team to make each wedding a success for our bridal couples. I emigrated to Charleston from South Africa with many years of experience in the event and wedding planning sphere. I am extremely passionate about what I do, which has allowed me to build a team of planners, DJ’s and photographers who are equally as passionate, allowing Pinnacle to grow to what it is now. The most important thing to me is to ensure our couples feel like they have become part of our family and know that we are looking after them in a truly personal and professional way. I prioritize my relationships with Charleston wedding venues and vendors in order to provide my couples with knowledgeable information that will help them create their perfect day. I am excited about the years ahead and I look forward to working with all the newly engaged couples, helping with their wedding journey from the first step to the last.

Hayli Shuler
Wedding Planner
Hi there! I’m Hayli and I’m a South Carolinian, born and raised. I moved down to the lovely city of Charleston five years ago for school and absolutely fell in love with this historically rich place. Since I went to school for graphic design, I love focusing on the details and pulling them all together to build something truly amazing. Your wedding should be a day you look back onto and smile, remembering how perfect and wonderful those moments were. I absolutely cannot wait to get to know you and help create the wedding you’ve always dreamt of!
Sabrina Hinson
Wedding Planner
Hi, I’m Sabrina! Charleston, SC is my hometown and the hospitality industry is such a huge part of who I am! I graduated from College of Charleston in 2015 with an English and Music degree. Who would have thought I’d be where I am now with those degrees! Years of my experience were spent working in hotels. During that time I had the chance to assist with events such as Charleston Wine & Food Festival, Fashion Week, Spoleto, and more. Then in early 2019, I shifted my focus to weddings, because I love everything that goes into designing a wedding. From the design board to the catering menu, I still get giddy over each and every wedding. I am here to ensure your big day not only goes off without a hitch, but is also a beautiful and quintessential reflection of you and your fiancé.
Abby Thomas
Wedding Planner
Hi, I’m Abby! My story is a little bit different as I started my career in Sports Marketing. As an Atlanta, Georgia native, I ventured out to Mississippi State University to earn my Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing with a concentration in Integrated Digital Media. I moved to Charleston in March of 2022 to work for the Charleston RiverDogs as their lead Promotions Intern. In this roll, I planned and executed over 45 promotional nights including two Championship Play-Off Games. Through this, I realized that I have a love and passion for executing and planning important events and what is more important than your wedding day? My favorite part of working in the sports industry was meeting and making true connections with anyone that walked into the stadium or arena and I am excited to transition that love to Pinnacle Weddings. I am excited and honored to bring your special day to life!
Carrie Warner
Photographer
Hi, I’m Carrie and I love being a wedding photographer! I graduated from the University of Virginia with a double major in English and Art. My photography career has allowed me to combine my love of story-telling with my passion to capture the beautiful moments that tell my couples stories. My job is to be there for you! The most important thing to me is that you enjoy every moment of your wedding and focus on what matters – each other and the loved ones that surround you on your special day, while you leave the rest to me. Let me preserve your wedding day, so that you can always look back on the moments that began your forever with each other. Check out some of my most recent work.
Christi Porter
Photographer
Georgia peach turned Lowcountry local when I moved down to Charleston for college in 2015. With a degree in graphic design and a love for photography, I pursued the digital arts and sought to turn my passion into a reality. After working in the wedding industry on the weekends throughout college, I knew that this was something I wanted to pursue after I graduated. It seemed like destiny when Linda reached out and took me under her wing. I love getting to know new people and maintaining those relationships as the years go on in hopes that many of the vendors and newlyweds we work with will become friends, rather than just coworkers and clients. I would describe my photography style as “fun and naturally vibrant for the young at heart.” During your engagement session and/or wedding, not only will you be satisfied with your result, but we will have a great time together as well. Check out some of my most recent work.

Hi, I’m Davis Diel and I am a Charleston local, born and raised! I have a love for all types of music and DJing helps me share my passion. I am a graduate of Charleston Southern University, where I studied Business Marketing.

Kegan Brandt
DJ & MC
My passion for helping others and challenging myself through high stress situations in the workplace, has brought me to Charleston where I am studying Kinesiology to become a future Physicians assistant. In listening to music throughout my studies, I realized how effective it can be in lifting one’s mood as well as their overall motivation and energy. In practicing medicine within my field, I can say that music is the magic medicine that allows us to feel emotion and create long lasting memories. Through my experience as a Pinnacle DJ, my job is to provide that same uplifting energy out on the dance floor, ensuring that your wedding celebration will be a night to remember.
