Olivia + Sam originally wanted to get married in the fall, but they chose a spring wedding date in an effort to avoid potentially bad weather during hurricane season. So imagine their reaction when Subtropical Storm Alberto decided to make an appearance on their wedding day. I have to say, the weather this spring has been INSANE… unlike any other wedding season I’ve experienced… but Olivia, Sam, their family + friends all made the best of their wedding day, despite the disappointing rain.
Luckily, Olivia + Sam chose to do a First Look and we were able to do all of their formal photos before the rain really settled in for the night. THANK GOODNESS!! The overcast skies provided the PERFECT lighting for their photos and I’m so happy we were able to outrun the rain!! Unfortunately, the rain forced their ceremony to be moved under a tent behind the main house at Magnolia Plantation. As the rain fell on the top of the tent, creating a super romantic atmosphere, Olivia + Sam said “I do!” in front of their closest family + friends who all came out to celebrate with them in Charleston.
After dinner on the Veranda, everyone moved back down into the tent and danced the night away in celebration. Despite standing water and mud, the dance floor was packed and everyone had SO MUCH FUN!! It is definitely a wedding that everyone will remember for years to come and I know Olivia + Sam’s marriage was doubly blessed by Mother Nature! It was a lot of fun to be a part of such a sweet celebration and I love how happy + flexible everyone was throughout the day. It made everything so much easier and enjoyable because everyone was just so happy!! At the end of the night, Olivia + Sam exited through a tunnel of sparklers and hopped into their getaway car. Here are some of my favorites from Olivia + Sam’s romantic + rainy spring wedding at Magnolia Plantation…

Charleston weather likes to keep everyone on their toes, but even by Lowcountry standards, Caroline and Cody’s wedding day was memorable.
