Staci + Mark’s vision for their wedding day was a joyful celebration centered around their families + closest friends. Thanks to the team at MOD Events, that’s exactly what they got! Staci is a girl after my own heart who loves color and details – so I was totally in my element. Her beautiful bouquet by Festoon was a showstopper and I love the Lithuanian ribbon that was tied around the stems. And the blue patterned china? So so fun!
Their wedding party consisted of their children – each of them have 2 children from previous marriages – and I LOVED exploring downtown with the 6 of them before the ceremony! The girls wore gorgeous LulaKate dresses and the guys all looked so handsome in their blue gray suits. And let’s take a moment to swoon over Staci’s dress! Instead of a traditional veil, she wore an incredible bridal cape and it was EVERYTHING!! Such an incredible spin on an old tradition and I am here for it!
In a beautiful ceremony in the garden of 20 South Battery, officiated by their best friend, Staci + Mark said “I do”. The location was absolutely STUNNING and the garden set the perfect scene for cocktail hour. Afterwards, guests boarded a trolley and headed to the dock to board The Carolina Girl for the reception.
This was my first time aboard The Carolina Girl and WOW. What a fun idea for a reception?! The weather was beautiful and everyone had an incredible time as the boat meandered along the Charleston waterways. Sunset was beautiful and I just loved this laid back + unique experience that Staci + Mark planned for their guests. I truly am so lucky to be invited into my couples’ wedding days. This one was a celebration I’ll never forget! Congratulations you guys and THANK YOU for allowing me to capture this day for you + your families!! Cheers!!
