McKenna + Matt’s wedding day was truly incredible. From start to finish, everything fell perfectly into place – probably because McKenna is so detail-oriented and organized. She truly is a bride after my own heart! All of her bridal details were stunning and she actually planned her wedding day around photography… which is always a dream come true for me! It paid off BIG TIME with one of my very favorite First Looks EVER and the most amazing bride + groom portraits taken all around beautiful Magnolia Plantation!
We started the day just up the road at the Inn at Middleton Place. Once everyone was ready, McKenna + Matt headed to Magnolia Plantation for their First Look in one of the most beautiful gardens. It was so sweet and STUNNING!! One of my all-time favorites for sure. After their First Look, we took some time to explore the plantation together. These two are just so natural in front of the camera!! I didn’t think it could get much better after their portraits, but then their bridal party arrived for photos and everyone looked SO GOOD!! I mean, seriously… McKenna + Matt did a fabulous job with their wedding design. Everything from the colors to the florals to the decor… it was perfect! Elegant, romantic, classic. Just like them!
They said “I do!” beneath a live oak overlooking the Ashley River before celebrating with their closest family + friends. Both McKenna + Matt were on the dance floor all night – it was the ultimate dance party!! At the end of the night, Matt + McKenna exited through a tunnel of sparklers and jumped into their fabulous getaway car… the perfect ending to the perfect day. Here are some of my favorites from McKenna + Matt’s beautiful wedding at Magnolia Plantation…
