Lea’s grandparents home on Wadmalaw Island was the PERFECT choice for Lea + Cooper’s wedding day celebration. Not only was it pretty much Lea’s second home growing up, but it is also where Lea + Cooper first said “I love you” to each other… and where Cooper proposed! So it was only fitting that Lea + Cooper would choose this magical place to celebrate with their family + friends on their wedding day. Lea envisioned a garden glam soiree complete with textural floral arrangements, soft green eucalyptus, Spanish Moss, oyster shells, and hints of glamorous gold throughout. Every detail of this wedding day was thoughtfully considered – including a bed swing hanging from one of her grandparents’ oak tree that was made by her father and covered in her great-great-grandmother’s linens, boiled peanuts that were handmade by Lea’s grandfather as a wedding favor, a cozy cigar lounge on the dock, a glamorous lounge area, and the most incredible lighting I’ve ever seen. I mean, those cafe lights and chandeliers strung throughout the trees on the property?! Incredible!
Lea + Cooper opted for a traditional church ceremony at Summerall Chapel at The Citadel, where Cooper went to school. After the ceremony, we all headed out to Wadmalaw for the celebration and stopped at the most beautiful avenue of oaks on the road leading up to her grandparent’s house for photos. Lea + Cooper shared their first dance as husband + wife as the sun set over Wadmalaw and it was beyond perfect. Lea + Cooper danced the night away with their family + friends before heading off to their afterparty through a tunnel of sparklers… and impromptu champagne shower. Here are some of my favorites from Lea + Cooper’s beautiful wedding day…

Katelyn and Andrew’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of timeless elegance, meaningful family moments, and an incredible celebration with their favorite people.

Taylor and Hutch’s wedding at the Pavilion at Patriots Point was colorful, stylish, and filled with so much personality. From the unexpected color palette and playful animal-print details to the incredible sailcloth tent overlooking Charleston Harbor, every part of the day felt distinctly them. Their palette mixed rich shades of brown with lilac, chartreuse, soft […]
There’s something incredibly special about celebrating a wedding at home – especially when that home is one you’ve only just begun making your own. Molly and Erik had recently purchased their home on James Island, and instead of planning a large, traditional wedding, they invited their immediate families and closest friends to join them there […]
There was an ease to Allyson and Brian’s wedding day that made it such a joy to photograph.

No overcomplicated timeline, no unnecessary stress – […]

Instead of a big celebration, they chose an intimate wedding day centered around what mattered most to them: each other and the people they love most. With just 19 guests in attendance – […]
