Let me start off by saying that I absolutely ADORE Katie + Michael. Their relationship and love is something that everyone should aspire to have in their lives. They speak so highly of each other, even when they are apart from each other, and they are both so grateful for each other – which is something that I’ve learned is SO important in a relationship. I was just in awe of them all day. It was absolutely magical to watch them together.
Katie + Michael have been together for 13 years now. Yup – 13 years!! They’ve been through so much together, so this day was a long time coming. Katie + Michael started their day with a sweet First Look. As Katie stepped out of my car and saw Michael’s back turned towards her, she started to cry. She said to me “I am just so excited to marry this man!” and I could honestly feel her excitement deep in my soul. These two are bonafide soulmates. As soon as they saw each other, everything else disappeared. They were in their own little world of happiness and it was a joy to witness!
After some portraits downtown, we swung by Michael’s old apartment on Rutledge Avenue to take some photos out front. This was a special place for them and I loved that we were able to take some photos somewhere so meaningful to them. Before long, Katie + Michael were reciting their vows in front of their family + friends at St Luke’s Chapel and then their celebration continued over at the Charleston Harbor Resort. The dancefloor was PACKED all night… their friends + family really know how to party!! At the end of the night, Katie + Michael exited through a tunnel of sparklers and hopped onto a golf cart. It was amazing! Here are some of my favorites from Katie + Michael’s Charleston wedding…

Bridal portraits offer a rare pause in the wedding season – a moment to step away from timelines and celebrations and focus entirely on the bride herself.

Some wedding days just feel easy in the best possible way – not because nothing is happening, but because everything unfolds exactly as it should, surrounded by the people who matter most.
