The entire week leading up to Kaitlyn + Paul’s wedding day, the forecast didn’t look good.  All sunshiny days on the calendar except for their day – the percentage of storm chances ranging anywhere from 50-80%.  When I emailed Kaitlyn to ask her about a rain plan, her response was resolute: It’s not going to rain.  And it didn’t!!  In true Charleston weather fashion, the skies cleared and there wasn’t even a speck of rain on their fabulous day!

We started off with a sweet First Look along the Avenue of Oaks at Boone Hall Plantation and then we were joined by their beloved pit bull, Turner, who was the perfect gentleman!  Their bridal party arrived to join in on the fun and before we knew it, we were all on our way downtown for their traditional ceremony at Second Presbyterian Church.  Afterwards, everyone headed back to Boone Hall Plantation for their gorgeous reception overlooking Horlbeck Creek at the Cotton Dock.  As the sun set, Kaitlyn + Paul shared their First Dance as husband + wife, then danced the night away with their closest friends + family.  Their band was AMAZING and at the end of the night, the newlyweds exited through a tunnel of sparklers.  Here are some of my favorites from Kaitlyn + Paul’s rustic Southern wedding at Boone Hall…
