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...

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.

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. Bri’s bridal portrait session took place at a private residence in downtown Charleston, and the setting could not have been more perfect. Rich teal walls, layered textures, patterned […]

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. Dana and Hayden’s celebration at Cannon Green was exactly that kind of day. The morning began at their home here in Charleston, a […]

Taylor and Clay’s wedding at the The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort felt like a natural extension of who they are – thoughtful, intentional, and deeply rooted in what they love most.

Tucked into the heart of historic downtown Charleston, Bri and Brett’s wedding felt less like an event and more like being invited into something deeply personal.
