First of all, I need to talk about Bridget’s AMAZING Hayley Paige gown.  It’s one of my very favorite designs of hers – the Decklyn – and as soon as I saw the name on the outside of her gown bag, I pretty much cried.  I LOVE this dress and Bridget wore it perfectly!!  It was the perfect fun + preppy gown for this laid back brunch wedding!  So back to the story… Bridget + Campbell decided that they wanted their wedding day to have a more European feel to it, so they opted for an early afternoon brunch wedding!  It was my very first brunch wedding and I have to say, I loved it!  I mean, it’s a natural light photographer’s DREAM to photograph an entire wedding without having to utilize artificial light!!

After a sweet First Look in downtown Charleston, Bridget + Campbell said “I do!” in a noon ceremony surrounded by their closest family + friends.  After the ceremony, guests were treated to a seated brunch and a super laid back atmosphere, as most guests relaxed under the oaks in the garden, catching up with each other and enjoying the beautiful Charleston weather.  I loved this concept and hope more couples embrace this style wedding in the future… it was so laid back and personal.  Sign me up for some more brunch weddings, please!  Here are some of my favorites from Bridget + Campbell’s brunch wedding at the Thomas Bennett House
