Michela and Scott

Michela and Scott have been all around the world together- from where they met in Bangladesh to the World Cup in Brazil to Dubai. Their love for travel, for sports and the outdoors led them to their wedding underneath a gorgeous live oak tree at the Thomas Bennett House in Downtown Charleston, SC. It was important to the couple that their loved ones were involved in the wedding. They had friends and family contribute to their day in unique touches such as a friend who made the beer for the reception, one who played music at the ceremony and many more. It was Michela and Scott’s main goal that the day be filled with laughter, dancing and love…and they surely accomplished it!

Marni and Niko

 

Marni and Niko met in  Stuttgart, Germany and got married in Charleston, Marni’s hometown.  The ceremony was at St. Luke’s Chapel, with a reception at The American Theater.  The American Theater is a Charleston venue downtown that is great for couple looking for a modern twist on a vintage Charleston wedding.  Frederick’s Florist did beautiful flower arrangements for the ceremony and reception with rentals by Snyder Events.  Paper Dolls and Gown Boutique of Charleston created a comfortable, elegant look for Marni.   Marni and Niko love to travel and are from different countries so they went with a travel theme for the day with little accents from the movie Up!batterycharleston brideandgroomfredericksfloristgownboutiquegownboutiqueofchs groomrings snyderevents stlukesmallari-0365mallari-0390-Bmallari-0430mallari-0439mallari-0922stlukeswedding theamericantheaterrbpwedding

Mindy and Ben

Mindy and Ben had a clear idea of how they envisioned their day: pottery barn style decor, romantic and intimate setting and their dogs! With Duvall running the catering, rentals, flowers, cake and design it was mission accomplished! When Mindy and Ben met in grad school their love blossomed through their similar love for wine, vacationing and dogs. In fact Ben proposed by bringing the dogs to Mindy’s out of state parents home and attaching the ring to the collar of one of their pups! Their day had a casual, classy feel that was evident through the beautiful blush tones, burlap accents and southern charm.brock-0206 brock-0214 brock-0227 brock-0230 brock-0240 brock-0256 brock-0265 brock-0272 brock-0276 brock-0289 brock-0324 brock-0498

Deanna and Tim

This sweet couple chose the perfect time of the year to have their outdoor, Magnolia Plantation wedding! After a 5 year long friendship Deanna and Tim fell in love and their life has been a whirlwind ever since.  They wanted their day to be a stress-free affair that they could look back on with fond memories. Duvall Catering and Event Design made sure the day was coordinated to go off without a hitch- they took care of everything from the flowers, to the food and cake, to the rentals! With Charleston Event Hair and Makeup there first thing in the morning, Deanna was ready to take some gorgeous pictures in her dress. We were able to spend time with the couple before the ceremony, as well as after, capturing moments of their love. With all of the azalea flowers in full bloom, the day was filled with special moments and created the perfect atmosphere for a picture perfect day!lloyd-0060 lloyd-0121 lloyd-0142 lloyd-0146 lloyd-0149 lloyd-0156 lloyd-0251 lloyd-0254 lloyd-0331 lloyd-0338 lloyd-0346 lloyd-0353 lloyd-0366 lloyd-0380 lloyd-0381 lloyd-0383 lloyd-0385 lloyd-0389 lloyd-0390
