Amy + Jake’s waterfront Charleston wedding at Lowndes Grove was the perfect reflection of them as a couple: elegant, classy, and glamorous. The ladies of Pure Luxe Bride took Amy’s vision and brought it to life with a beautiful design and amazing florals by Branch Design Studio. They had such fun details including Amy’s stunning illusion lace gown with an extended train, her bright blue Manolos, Jake’s colorful bowtie + tiger striped shoes, a custom monogram on their outdoor bar, and a classic color palette of black, white, green, gold + varying shades of pink. The entire day was pure joy and I had so much fun spending time with Amy, Jake, their adorable baby Kennedy, and their closest family + friends.
We started their day downtown with a First Look off-site, since Amy + Jake really wanted to have some portraits together in historic Charleston. We found some INCREDIBLE spots for portraits and they are honestly some of my all-time favorites! After portraits downtown, we headed back to Lowndes Grove for bridal party photos and before we knew it, they were saying “I do” in a beautiful ceremony overlooking the Ashley River. Sunset was AMAZING and we grabbed some more portraits on the dock before the party got under way. The dance floor was packed all night and everyone had an absolute blast! At the end of the night, Amy + Jake exited through a tunnel of sparklers and hopped in the car to head off to their after party. It was the perfect ending to a dream wedding day! Here are some of my favorites from Amy + Jake’s stunning Charleston wedding at Lowndes Grove…

I met up with Nicole + Thomas last summer for their engagement session out on Folly Beach.

I loved spending the evening with them […]

I love it when my couples opt to do an engagement session with me before their wedding day. While it’s by no means necessary, I always really love getting to know my couples before the wedding day – and I also love being able to take some epic photos of them during this special time […]
From the very first time I spoke with Caroline, I knew that her wedding day was going to be so special.
