On the morning of Nina + Brett’s wedding, some springtime rain passed through the area, leaving Nina even more anxious about the day than she already was. Luckily, Mother Nature decided to play nice and the skies cleared right before their First Look… thank you, Mother Nature!!! From that point on, the day was GORGEOUS with blue skies, a gentle breeze, and a few scattered clouds… the ideal weather for a March wedding in Charleston!
After their First Look, we wandered the beautifully manicured gardens of Middleton Place together – stopping among the colorful azalea blooms for a ton of bride + groom portraits. Nina + Brett wrote each other private, personal vows, which they read together before the ceremony. Their bridal party joined us for group photos and before long, they were saying “I do!” in front of all of their family + friends under the majestic oak in the Octagonal Garden. Guests enjoyed cocktail hour in the adjacent Sundial Garden, while we took a carriage ride around the property to grab some final sunset photos before their celebration began.
Nina + Brett’s wedding was the very first wedding to take place in the newly renovated Pavilion at Middleton Place! The new venue is STUNNING and I absolutely loved their design, created by Candice of Ooh! Events. After a delicious seated dinner, Nina + Brett danced the night away with their guests… and at the end of the night, they exited through a tunnel of sparklers. Here are some of my favorites from Nina + Brett’s gorgeous Middleton Place wedding…

After three years of being engaged and originally planning a much larger wedding, Allison and Jake decided to take a different path.

When a place has been woven into your family’s traditions for years, there’s something especially meaningful about beginning your marriage there.

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. Yet through every forecast update, timeline adjustment, and weather-related […]

Some wedding days are beautiful because of the details. Others are beautiful because of the people. Ansley and James’ wedding in Columbia, South Carolina was the rare combination of both.

Bridal portraits offer a rare pause in the wedding season – a moment to step away from timelines and celebrations and focus entirely on the bride herself.
