From the very first time I spoke with Caroline, I knew that her wedding day was going to be so special. With just their immediate families in attendance, Caroline + Kevin’s day was centered around family – and they wanted to begin their life together surrounded by the people who love them the most in this world. They spent the morning getting ready with their respective families at the Cottages on Charleston Harbor, then headed out back for their intimate ceremony overlooking the water. After they said “I do!”, they shared their First Dance as husband + wife right there on the harbor – then shared dances with their parents before family photos.
After all of the photos were done, everyone headed downtown to Circa 1886 at Wentworth Mansion for cocktail hour and an intimate multi-course dinner. Caroline + Kevin put so much thought into their dinner menu, pairing each course with a hand-picked wine and taking care to treat their families to some of their favorite food from their favorite restaurant. Throughout the evening, they shared stories and laughter over the candle-lit dinner – and it was truly such an incredibly special and meaningful way to start their marriage together.
Caroline + Kevin, thank you SO much for allowing me to document this amazing day for you guys! I am forever grateful for you and wish you nothing but the best. Here are some of my favorite images from their amazing Charleston wedding at the Cottages on Charleston Harbor…

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