Kristine + Ryan pulled off the ultimate surprise wedding last Monday and it was incredible. They invited Kristine’s parents and Ryan’s sister (and her family) to join them in Charleston for Thanksgiving. When everyone arrived, Kristine + Ryan told them the real reason they were all in Charleston… for their wedding!! Needless to say, everyone was so excited and two days after the big reveal to their families, Kristine + Ryan got married!!
Kristine + Ryan chose the Unitarian Church in downtown Charleston for their ceremony because they fell in love with its beautiful ornate ceiling. They recited personal vows to each other during their sweet ceremony before heading out to Middleton Place for their beautiful garden reception. Kristine + Ryan shared their First Dance together as husband + wife, cut their cake, and then spent the afternoon celebrating with their families. I’m so honored to have been a part of their incredible day!! Here are some of my favorites from Kristine + Ryan’s intimate surprise elopement in Charleston…

There’s something undeniably magical about Charleston SC. The cobblestone alleyways, the historic charm, and the gentle breeze off of the water – which creates the perfect setting for love to flourish.

Hilton Head is a special place to Abby + Greyson, as Abby’s parents live there and she’s been visiting the area for years.
