Jennie and George’s Sassy Charleston Wedding

Jennie and George wanted an all Charleston wedding, and what an amazing job they did bringing the day all together.  From the beautiful pink bridesmaids dresses, to the exit on a boat this was an amazing wedding!  Jennie’s dress came from Gown Boutique of Charleston,  and Taylor from Ooh! Events designed the event including the flowers, the tent, and the beautiful table settings.  Jennie and George were married at Charleston’s oldest church, First Baptist Church and then  were joined with there guests at Lowndes Grove Plantation.  I loved the basket weaving details Wedding Cakes by Jim Smeal did for the cake.  This was such a fun, sassy, southern wedding to be part of!    Jennie and George’s wedding was also featured on Knot’s Villa, and you can check it out here: http://www.knotsvilla.com/southern-wedding-charleston-richard-bell-photography/cumbie-0593cumbie-0115 cumbie-0173 cumbie-0233 cumbie-0251 cumbie-0263 cumbie-0283 cumbie-0471 cumbie-0570 cumbie-0587 cumbie-0686 cumbie-0786 cumbie-1024 cumbie-1073

Renee & Derek’s wedding at First Baptist Church & 28 Bridgeside

(post by Valerie Schooling)
I am reminded daily (sometimes hourly) just how much I love my career…and Renee and Derek’s wedding was definitely one of my favorite weddings of the year!  I loved shooting their rehearsal dinner at the William-Aiken House on King Street, downtown Charleston.
The William-Aiken House is an abosolutely breathtaking location for any event, and I absolutely loved the lighting under the tent for Renee and Derek's rehearsal dinner!

Their wedding cake was made by my favorite wedding cake artist/designer here in the Charleston area, Elaine's Events. Their cake-topper was really neat too!
