I have been anxiously anticipating Kelly + Josh’s wedding for well over a year now. I can still remember our first time chatting on the phone. As soon as Kelly mentioned her love of bright colors, incorporating lots of personal touches, and wanting to do a Second Line between the ceremony and reception, I was hooked! Lucky for me, they ended up booking me and the rest is history! I’m not entirely sure what expectations I had for their wedding day, but I know that they were definitely exceeded. Kelly + Josh’s day was more beautiful than I ever could’ve imagine and I absolutely loved how involved they were in the design + details of their day. They incorporated so many beautiful, meaningful touches – from the beautiful doors from India that greeted their guests at the ceremony site, to the custom made pillows and hand-painted invitations by Kelly’s mom, to the custom painting commissioned by famed New Orleans painter Simon, to the ceremony being conducted in Spanish in honor of their Latino heritage… every single detail of their wedding day had special meaning to this incredible couple, which made it so much fun to document.
And let’s not forget the Second Line after their ceremony. OH MY GOSH!! It was so cool!! I loved watching Kelly + Josh lead the way in celebration with all of their wedding guests. Everyone had a blast, waving their personalized handkerchiefs in the air as they made their way from the park to the plantation house. It really was so much fun! Old Wide Awake Plantation continues to be one of my very favorite venues in Charleston and, for certain, Kelly + Josh’s wedding day will remain one that I always hold close to my heart for oh-so-many reasons. Here are some of my favorites from their gorgeous wedding day…
