Katelyn + Ryan’s beautiful summer Lowndes Grove wedding was one for the books.  On this hot summer day, they promised each other forever surrounded by their closest friends and family.  Katelyn envisioned a pink + green garden-inspired wedding and Katie Jean Events really delivered!  Katelyn’s bridesmaids looked incredible in their bridesmaid dresses of varying styles.  The perfect shade of pink for this summer soiree.  Katelyn + Ryan decided to forego a First Look and, instead, opted for a First Touch – where they held hands and prayed together before the ceremony.  It was such a sweet moment between the two of them and their excitement to finally be married was palpable.

They said “I do” on the side lawn at Lowndes Grove, overlooking the Ashley River.  This particular spot isn’t the most popular location for a ceremony at Lowndes – but it worked out well for their beautiful wedding.  In the glowy afternoon light, they recited their vows to each other and said “I do” – and recessed out of their ceremony as husband and wife.

After their ceremony, we photographed all of their combined wedding party and family formals – then we spent some time taking portraits around the property.  Lowndes Grove is known for its gorgeous sunsets, so of course we had to take full advantage of that… and those are some of my very favorite sunset photos EVER.  I mean, it doesn’t get much better than that glow!

Katelyn + Ryan spent the night celebrating and dancing with their guests and it was such a sweet and romantic day.  Here are some of my favorites from Katelyn + Ryan’s Lowndes Grove wedding…
