From the very beginning, Allison + Andrew envisioned an intimate wedding day surrounded by their closest friends + family.  Something small, personal, and quintessentially southern.  They chose to say “I do!” in Charleston and their wedding day was absolute perfection.  We had the best weather, the city to ourselves, and it was amazing to see them both surrounded by so much love, happiness, and support.

We started their day off with a sweet First Look in historic downtown Charleston.  Andrew’s reaction when he turned around to see his bride for the first time was so special.  We spent about an hour visiting some special places around the city and grabbing some beautiful portraits, then we met up with their bridal party for group photos.  Allison + Andrew are truly lucky to have such amazing people standing by their side!

Allison + Andrew said “I do!” in a beautiful ceremony at First Baptist Church, then everyone headed back to Planters Inn for the seated dinner reception.  After cutting the cake, Allison + Andrew finished the night chatting with guests and reveling in the happiness of their wedding day.  I am so honored to have been able to document such a beautiful day.  Here are some of my favorites from Allison + Andrew’s intimate Charleston wedding at Planters Inn…
