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…

Some wedding days unfold exactly as planned. Others ask you to let go, adapt, and trust what matters most. Lauren and Billy’s wedding at Sea Pines Resort in Hilton Head was very much the latter – and in many ways, that’s what made it so meaningful. Elegant, sophisticated, and deeply classic in style, their day […]

Mayzie + Hyrum’s intimate celebration at the Ocean Course on Kiawah gave me allllll of the Ralph Lauren vibes. When I look back at these images, I’m instantly transported – there’s something so Americana and nostalgic about the day, in the best possible way. Maybe it’s the classic blue hydrangea bouquet, effortlessly timeless. Maybe it’s […]

When it comes to tipping wedding vendors, there’s often a lot of conflicting information – especially when it comes to tipping photographers. Should you tip them? If so, how much? And who exactly should receive it – the lead photographer or their team? The truth is, while tipping your wedding photographer is never expected, it’s […]

Erin and Buddy’s Ocean Course Kiawah wedding was a day designed to feel calm, unrushed, and genuinely enjoyable for everyone involved, especially the two of them. The morning unfolded slowly, just as they’d planned. No chaos, no overstuffed schedule. Erin and Buddy got ready separately, knowing they had built in what so many couples forget […]

Some wedding days go exactly as planned. Nicole and Thomas’ Boone Hall wedding reminded me why the ones that don’t often stay with you the longest. The morning began bright and full of promise — sunshine filtering through the trees, that unmistakable calm before everything begins. Boone Hall in the summer always feels expansive and […]

Alyssa and Joe’s colorful Magnolia Plantation wedding was the kind of wedding day that I just LOVE photographing – easy, joyful, and beautifully unbothered by expectation. Last summer, they gathered about 50 of their closest family and friends for a brunch celebration that felt more like a garden party than a formal event, and that […]
