Lowndes Grove is a magical venue for romantic bridal portraits. The house is bathed in gorgeous light, thanks to the large windows throughout. It has plenty of indoor space that you can use in case of inclement weather. The rooms are beautifully decorated in a classic style that complements the overall aesthetic of the property. There is a beautiful covered porch, a spiral staircase, and checker board floor in a light-filled portico. Outside, you have the live oaks, stunning azaleas that bloom in the spring, and a wooden dock that stretches out into the Ashley River.
Caitlyn, who lives in Greenville and got married on Hilton Head, wanted a beautiful historic home for her bridal portraits. She didn’t mind coming to Charleston for the session, so Lowndes Grove was my #1 recommendation. After a quick trip to Hilton Head for her hair + makeup trial, Caitlyn and her mom drove up to Charleston for the day. It was a chilly, overcast day and the soft, diffused light was PERFECTION. The wind was whipping off the water and Caitlyn was hesitant to put in her veil on the dock – but those are some of my favorite images from her session! I’m so glad she decided to trust me as a reassured her that her veil would not blow away into the pluff mud!
Caitlyn looked incredible in her classic Pronovias ball gown and her pearl-accented veil was perfect accent piece for her timeless wedding day look. The small bow on the back of her dress, combined with the intricate lace detail, helped bring it all together in the most beautiful way. Now that Caitlyn is married, I’m so excited to share some of my favorite romantic bridal portraits at Lowndes Grove…

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.
