Sometimes, I don’t have the opportunity to actually meet my bride + groom in person until the day of their wedding.  It’s not uncommon, especially since I photograph so many destination weddings here in Charleston and my clients sometimes don’t have the time to meet up while they are in town doing all of their planning.  But through the magic of social media, it often feels like I “know” them when I walk into the bridal suite and I truly cherish the relationships that I am able to build with my clients before the wedding day – whether we actually meet in person or not!  Even though we hadn’t met in person yet, I knew that Texas residents Stephanie + Jesse’s wedding was going to be special.  Just by following them on social media, I could tell that they were my kind of people!!  And I had SO much fun photographing their wedding day!

We started their beautiful wedding day with a sweet First Look under the Wedding Tree at the Legare Waring House.  Soon, we were joined by their awesome bridal party and families for group photos and before we knew it, Stephanie + Jesse were saying “I do” in a beautiful ceremony in the Avenue of Oaks, officiated by Stephanie’s brother in law who quoted Drake and Notorious B.I.G. in his homily.  It was AMAZING and so memorable!  After their ceremony, Stephanie + Jesse cut their cake and then hit the dancefloor for the most EPIC dance party EVER!!  I mean, it was insane and DJ Stephen Darby kept the crowd jumping… literally… all night.  At the end of the night, Stephanie + Jesse exited through a tunnel of rose petals and hopped into their getaway car.  The perfect ending to an amazing day!  Here are some of my favorites from Stephanie + Jesse’s gorgeous Charleston wedding at the Legare Waring House…
