Ellen & Ryan’s Dunes West Ceremony & Reception

I sincerely cannot say enough about how everything about this wedding was perfect! The night before the wedding I photographed the rehearsal dinner at Cottage on the Creek. It was really great to meet all of Ellen and Ryan’s friends and family. Everyone was very kind and I enjoyed spending the evening with them, especially on such a gorgeous night. The next day the weather was just as amazing! Ellen and Ryan chose to have their ceremony under the other large tree by the water (which was the first time I have seen it set up there, and I loved it). Hanging in the center of the aisle, from the tree was a beautiful chandelier. The sun shining through the moss during the ceremony made the setting even more fantastic. Ryan’s family is the name sake for the Wynkoop Beer Company, so there was plenty on hand, as well as the story for everyone to read. The only place suited for their night shot had to be back at the ceremony site, and I think it was a great ending to their picture perfect day!

Wedding and Reception at Johns Islands gem… The Island House

The Island House is a great location for a wedding because it has so much to offer. It’s on the water, has room to great ready, a couple of flower fields, even a salt flat! While we were hoping one of the fields of flowers would be in bloom, we got the corn field instead! I just love the photos we were able to take there. Whitney and Andrew were so adorable! Enjoy their preview!

South Carolina Aquarium Wedding by Charleston Wedding Photographer

With Kelly at the posh Market Pavilion Hotel and her groom Phil at Old South Barber Shop in downtown Charleston, SC, this wedding day was off to a relaxing start.  After our first glance near the Customs House, Kelly and Phillip we went for a dramatic ceremony and reception at the South Carolina Aquarium.  We broke out the big guns for this one, and I’m one happy wedding photographer.

Magnolia Gardens Wedding Photography

Magnolia Plantation is so, so lovely. It has to be on of the top 5 gardens in the entire US — especially this time of the year when the Azaleas are out. Tracey was such a joy to work with, and Glen was and his guys were a ton of fun to shoot. Wanda and I agreed that this was a great wedding to start wedding season.
