From the moment I first spoke to Sandra, I knew her wedding day was going to be something special. She had a clear vision of a day filled with special details, personalized moments, and a celebration of love that was truly unique to her and Matt’s love story. Being in the fashion world, I knew her dress was going to be amazing and wow. It was truly a work of art. Covered in pearls, her dress was a statement piece for sure!
Sandra + Matt’s day started with a sweet First Look at the William Aiken House. I loved watching Matt’s reaction as he saw Sandra in her gown for the first time! We hopped in my car and headed downtown for photos and we had the best time hitting up some of the most iconic Charleston backdrops. Matt doted on Sandra the entire time, carrying her train and making sure she was steady on the cobblestones. Watching them interact together was just so heartwarming… everyone deserves a love like theirs!!
After some photos downtown, we headed back to the William Aiken House for the ceremony, which was officiated by Matt’s brother-in-law. I always love a personalized ceremony and theirs was so beautiful. After they said “I do!”, Sandra, Matt, and their guests enjoyed cocktail hour inside the house – and as the sun started to set, everyone was invited outside for their First Dance in the courtyard. An al fresco dinner ensued, with guests enjoying a selection of lowcountry favorites under the cafe lights. And once dinner was complete, the real party started!
DJ Wade had everyone on the dance floor all night and everyone had the best time celebrating the newlyweds. Sandra + Matt. THANK YOU for choosing me to document this incredible day for you + your families. I wish you nothing but the best and can’t wait to see what life has in store for you!!
