Oh. My. Gosh. YOU GUYS!!! You are in for a serious treat today. Carrie + Ryan’s gorgeous Lowndes Grove wedding last weekend was absolutely breathtaking. The ladies of Pure Luxe Bride knocked it out of the park with this botanical black tie affair. I’ve photographed a ton of weddings over the past 4 years and this is definitely one of my absolute favorites!!
The day started with a sweet First Look + portraits in historic downtown Charleston before heading back to Lowndes Grove for bridal party + family photos. I love the fact that Carrie’s brother officiated their beautiful riverfront ceremony – I think it’s always so awesome when a close friend or family member is the one officiating because it makes things even more personal + unique. Carrie + Ryan exchanged personal vows that had everyone in tears and then they joined all of their friends and family for cocktail hour in the main house. As the sun began to set over the Ashley River, guests made their way outside for an open air seated dinner. It was such a beautiful setting!! After the sun dipped below the horizon, guests moved under the tent to dance… and the dance floor was packed all night. At the end of the evening, Carrie + Ryan exited through a tunnel of sparklers and hopping into their getaway car. Here are some of my favorites from Carrie + Ryan’s botanical black tie soiree…

Charleston weather likes to keep everyone on their toes, but even by Lowcountry standards, Caroline and Cody’s wedding day was memorable. Rain fell for most of the day – a rarity in Charleston, especially when it seems determined to stick around from morning until ceremony time.
