Ginny and Todd

Ginny’s vision for her big day was a winter wedding with classy, southern charm and lots of candle light for a warm, cozy feeling. She chose black bridesmaids dresses and a classic black tux with bow tie for the groomsman.  Ginny had the talented team from Salon Capelli do a great job showing off her beautiful green eyes and long blonde hair.  The ladies had Gown Boutique of Charleston had Todd in tears when she walked down the isle in her beautiful gown.  For flowers, Ginny wanted to have whites with just little springs of green to contrast the bridesmaids black dresses and also to fit in with the winter theme. Country and Lace Florist did a great job pulling together Ginny’s vision and coordinating the event.  Following the ceremony, a bagpiper played filling the streets with the happy announcement of a new marriage. Walking over to the Mills House from the French Huguenot Church, the bridesmaids carried candles for a very festive touch. Ginny also choose lots of silver and gold for a touch of sparkle that added to the elegant feel. Immaculate Confections designed and baked a  beautiful cake for guests to enjoy.  Both Ginny and Todd agreed that they wanted their wedding to be FUN! So they decided to have a great band, Momentum, at the reception to keep the reception upbeat and lively! Ginny wore her grandmothers’ fur stole to the reception and her bridesmaids wore monogrammed wraps. Their big leave consisted of everyone throwing artificial snow to wrap up the wonderful winter wedding!

Kelly and Pat

Kelly and Pat were married at Charlestown Landing in a intimate ceremony.  Doug Farmer officiated and the couple said their vows under the beautiful oaks in the park.  We are so delighted Kelly and Pat chose us to be a part of their day!  While looking for locations, they chose Charleston, because of their love for the city. Charles Towne Landing is such a gorgeous venue, with its avenue of oaks, moss, and marsh.  Pat planned almost everything for their elopement because he wanted everything to be perfect for Kelly without having to be stressful. He even ordered our bouquet to surprise her!  After their ceremony, we spent time walking around the ground for photos. It was so great seeing these two so in love, so happy and just truly in love!

Malley and Austin

From the first time we met Malley and Austin for their engagement session it was obvious how in love this couple is! Since we had done photos of the two of them in the summer we were so looking forward to their November wedding at Middleton Place. Austin and Malley wisely chose Holly Simpson with A Charleston Event to coordinate their wedding day. Holly worked with Malley to put together a fun, relaxing and beautiful wedding. Malley was a gorgeous bride in a dress from Gown Boutique of Charleston and flowers from Keepsakes Florist. The ceremony was filled with thoughtful words and happy tears! After the ceremony was a celebration of the couples love that included Finger Snappin Entertainment, food by Middleton Place and cake from Cakes by Kasarda. It was such a joyous day for all! The happy couple danced and laughed with family and friends and ended the night with a sparkler exit and a kiss!

Jonna and Justin

Jonna and Justin chose to have a very private wedding that included the two of them, an officiant and us! It was a glorious day at Magnolia Plantation with one main focus- the love these two share for each other. After a quite ceremony underneath the ancient oak trees we went around Magnolia Plantation celebrating the newlyweds! Although Joanna and Justin did not have a large gathering, they made the day their own with their unique style and love for comic books!

Marcella and Ward

Marcella and Ward made it a point to blend the Indonesian heritage of the bride with the Carolina traditions of the groom. To accomplish this, they combined the beauty of South Carolina with Indonesian cultural influences! To kick off the wedding festivities they started off with an Oyster Roast welcome dinner overlooking the marshes of Kiawah Island. The following day was the ceremony, which was held at the cathedral of St. John the Baptist in downtown Charleston and the reception at Osprey Point Golf Club back on Kiawah Island. Marcella and Ward were inspired to incorporate a feather theme, from the various types of feathers on the bride’s wedding dress – custom designed by Maya Ratih Couture, to feathers on the cake- done by The Cake Stand.  Indonesian elements included a pre-reception tea ceremony, custom wedding toppers of the couple in traditional Indonesian garb, and kopi luwak (a rare civet coffee) for the guests! It was a gorgeous day with so many thoughtful, personal touches!
