A Romantic Wedding by the Water

Ashleigh and Eric wanted a romantic wedding with a touch of the south.  They choose Patriots Point for the fantastic view and to help make their vision come true, Roxanne at Marry Me Weddings used white with hints of peach and burlap.  The flowers for the ceremony and reception were provided by Branch Studio Designs with white hydrangeas, pink roses, and lots of babies breath.  The brides gown from Global Bridal Gallery in Alexandria, Virginia was a fitted one shoulder lace dress which was embellished with a belted pearl tie around the middle. Lacy at Relish Distinctive Catering came up with a delicious menu of crab cakes, shrimp & grits, and hush puppies.  For dessert, everyone was able to enjoying a little bit of everything from traditional wedding cake to whoopie pies to mini pecan pies from P.I.E Bake Shoppe.  Other Brother Entertainment provided a band for the entertainment and the bride and groom were whisked away in a black cab provided Black Cab Company at the end of the evening.










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!
