Kristin + Jay are truly amazing people. From the first time I met them, I knew their wedding day was going to be very special. Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to end 2018 with! Their wedding day was so perfect and after the end of a long wedding season, it was a breath of fresh air to celebrate with such amazing people and their families. From the moment I drove through the gates at Lowndes Grove on their wedding day, I knew it was going to be incredible. Seeing the wooden pews set up for their ceremony on the front lawn was a fun surprise… I LOVE them and think they really add so much to the feel of the ceremony. If they had put that much thought into their ceremony seating, I knew the rest of their details and design was going to be phenomenal… and it was!!
I don’t think I picked my jaw up off of the floor at all on their wedding day. Beautiful florals, fun linens, amazing stationery, stunning dresses all around, exceptionally kind family + friends, and a gorgeous reception design were just a few of the highlights of their day. Boy oh boy, it was one for the books!!
Kristin + Jay started their day off with a sweet First Look, followed by bride + groom portraits around the property. Their pup Jack Henry joined for some photos and he was such a sweetheart. He was literally the size of a Shetland Pony and I just wanted to take him home to snuggle with after the wedding… SO CUTE!!! Their bridal party looked stunning in classic black tuxes for the guys and mulberry-colored gowns for the girls. The perfect color combination for a late December soiree. Guests arrived on a vintage bus to watch Kristin + Jay say “I do!” in a gorgeous sunset ceremony. It was so perfect!!
Kristin + Jay joined their guests for cocktail hour, then danced the night away with everyone on the dance floor. At the end of the night, Kristin + Jay exited through a tunnel of sparklers and hopped into their getaway car… the perfect ending to an incredible day… and my 2018 wedding year! Here are some of my favorites from Kristin + Jay’s amazing winter wedding at Lowndes Grove...

There was an ease to Allyson and Brian’s wedding day that made it such a joy to photograph. From the moment I arrived at The Ocean Course on Kiawah Island, everything felt relaxed, intentional, and centered on what mattered most: celebrating their marriage with the people they love. No overcomplicated timeline, no unnecessary stress – […]

After three years of being engaged and originally planning a much larger wedding, Allison and Jake decided to take a different path. Instead of a big celebration, they chose an intimate wedding day centered around what mattered most to them: each other and the people they love most. With just 19 guests in attendance – […]

When a place has been woven into your family’s traditions for years, there’s something especially meaningful about beginning your marriage there. For Addison, Kiawah Island has been a beloved part of life since childhood. So when it came time to choose a wedding location, bringing family and friends together on the island where so many […]

Charleston weather likes to keep everyone on their toes, but even by Lowcountry standards, Caroline and Cody’s wedding day was memorable. Rain fell for most of the day – a rarity in Charleston, especially when it seems determined to stick around from morning until ceremony time. Yet through every forecast update, timeline adjustment, and weather-related […]

Some wedding days are beautiful because of the details. Others are beautiful because of the people. Ansley and James’ wedding in Columbia, South Carolina was the rare combination of both. After seven years together, these two gathered their favorite people for a celebration that felt joyful, colorful, and completely centered on the relationships that matter […]

Maren and Kevin’s wedding at Ford Field + River Club in Savannah was the kind of day that felt effortlessly relaxed from beginning to end. Set beneath the Spanish moss and overlooking the water, every part of their celebration embraced the natural beauty of the Lowcountry while still feeling elegant, colorful, and incredibly inviting. Living […]
