Middleton Place is one of my very favorite venues in Charleston. The gardens are spectacular, the vibe is so romantic, and the best part? The sheep! It’s no wonder Emmy + Ian chose Middleton as the place for them to get married! With the help of the fabulous team at MOD Events, their vision for a romantic garden-inspired celebration came to life in the most magical way.
Though the forecast had been calling for rain all week, showers left the area early in the morning and the rest of the day was perfection. Overcast skies make for the BEST photos!!
Following their First Look under the oaks, Emmy + Ian shared private vows. I am LOVING this new tradition! So many couples are now opting to do private personal vows after their First Look and it’s always such a sweet + intimate moment to capture.
After some portraits around the property, we met up with their wedding party and family for formal photos in the Octagonal Garden – and shortly thereafter, guests started to arrive for their ceremony. Following a sweet ceremony officiated by Ian’s brother in law, guests enjoyed the beauty of Middleton while drinking cocktails under the oaks. Dancing and celebration followed – and the dance floor was PACKED all night. Emmy, Ian, and their friends + family really know how to party! Here are some of my favorites from Emmy + Ian’s beautiful Middleton Place wedding…

There’s something incredibly special about celebrating a wedding at home – especially when that home is one you’ve only just begun making your own. Molly and Erik had recently purchased their home on James Island, and instead of planning a large, traditional wedding, they invited their immediate families and closest friends to join them there […]
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 […]
