About
Hi friends! I’m Cacky, the calligrapher behind Love Letter Gray based in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina. My BA in Art History from the College of Charleston and my love of serving others has finally culminated into Love Letter Gray.
Two years ago, my family and I discovered a box containing hundreds of love letters between my grandfather, stationed in Germany during World War II, and my grandmother, patiently waiting for his return here in South Carolina. I was planning my wedding at the time and completely surprised by the impact that this box had on me.
Love Letter Gray has become a calligraphy studio where we encourage you to embrace your own handwriting through the art of letter writing. We currently offer hand lettering workshops, calligraphy services for wedding and event correspondence, and wedding consultation and coordination.
I currently live in Charleston with my husband, Tradd, and our two fearless pups, Goose and Henry. I’m obsessed with giving gifts, sending love notes and greeting cards for all occasions, and always letting people know how much they mean to you.

“When planning our wedding we naturally had 1 millions ideas and dreams of what our special day was to look like. Little did you know the amount of work that would lead into creating the dream. Deciding to work with Cacky was the greatest decision we made (beside marrying each other of course). Simply put, she is amazing!”
– Elizabeth N.
Attention to detail, prompt responses, sticking to timelines, and expressing creativity…These are a few of the things that hiring Love Letter Gray for our wedding was the right decision. Did I mention creativity? This girl is the full package when it comes to planning and execution.

“Not only did we decide on a DIY wedding, but we also chose to host our event almost 1,000 miles away. Leading up to the wedding we both felt we had a grasp on things and the to-do list was being checked down daily. And then reality set in that all the plans leading up to this, now needed to be executed. This is where Cacky came in and saved the day. Not only did she do the most amazing calligraphy for our invites and table markers, but her skills in working with vendors and people as a whole was a key part in one of the best days of our lives. We love Cacky and she comes with a strong seal of approval from my husband and I.”
