Emily + Chad were originally supposed to get married earlier this spring, but they were one of many couples who were forced to postpone due to COVID. Fast forward 2 1/2 months later and their celebration was absolutely EVERYTHING!! With Hurricane Isaias closing in on the area – 2020 amiright?!? – the weather was actually beyond beautiful as Emily + Chad said “I do!” and danced the night away with their closest family and friends.
We started the day off with a sweet First Look and portraits at The Sanctuary Hotel, then headed out to the Ocean Course to meet up with everyone else. The girls looked so pretty in their blush pink dresses and the guys looked so handsome in their blue suits. Add in some colorful florals and it was the perfect summer color palette – so fitting for an oceanfront wedding!
Emily + Chad said “I do!” in a beautiful ceremony overlooking the golf course and ocean, then spent the rest of the evening celebrating with their friends + family. At the end of the night, the exited through a tunnel of streamers… the perfect ending to an amazing day. Their wedding was my first “full” wedding back since March and it felt SO GOOD to feel normal again!! I’ve missed my amazing clients and joy-filled days so much!! Here are some of my favorites from Emily + Chad’s beautiful summer wedding at Kiawah Ocean Course…

Charleston weather likes to keep everyone on their toes, but even by Lowcountry standards, Caroline and Cody’s wedding day was memorable.
