Magnolia Plantation Wedding // Gibbon + Bryan // Charleston, SC
From the moment I met Gibbon, I knew I was going to fall in love with her wedding. I knew this because Gibbon is one of those people everyone just loves being around. Her life reflects joy, love and peace, and I knew that would carry over to her wedding day. Well, I was right – her wedding day was one for the books. Gibbon was stunning and appeared so relaxed. Both Bryan and Gibbon were just such a pleasure to work with!

We all know how our world views marriage – just look at how it is depicted negatively in the media. But there are those couples that I can tell are just going to defy the odds and break down those stereotypes, and I know that is exactly what Gibbon and Bryan will see come out of their marriage.
The sweet couple was married on the grounds of the Carriage House at Magnolia Plantation. It was nothing but sunny, and the air was perfect. The scalding Charleston summer heat seemed to leave us alone for this one time, and it was a glorious day for an outside wedding. Set amidst the backdrop of the Ashley River, Gibbon and Bryan stood under the towering oaks before their family and friends to declare their commitment of forever love. It was a moving experience as their pastor shared a message on love, and as I was taking photos, I kept smiling because I could just see it on their faces – the overwhelming love Gibbon & Bryan share for each other.
Their reception was inside of the Carriage House, which was decorated with soft linens and lush greenery. As the band played in the background, guests poured in and took in the breathtaking venue. The bride and groom danced away, and I’m pretty sure the speeches brought everyone to tears. It was a night to remember, and I’m so glad these photos will always be there for them to recall all of their treasured memories.

Here are a few of my favorites from Alexandra and Chad's lovely Magnolia Plantation wedding. They got married in late March inside the Carriage House with all of their closest family and friends. These two are so devoted to each other and have so many wonderfully blessed years ahead of them. I am so honored to have been a part of such a wonderful day! Congratulations Alex and Chad!

Yesterday was Veteran's Day, and this post is in honor of all those who have and who continue to serve our country. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. It does not go unnoticed. Sharon and Tom met in college, where Tom took a fancy to her pretty quickly. Sharon, on the other hand, was uninterested, thinking Tom was just another frat boy. Soon after giving in to hanging out with him one day, her heart began to melt and soften towards Tom, realizing he was a very humble soul who made her laugh and giggle (which is very important, ladies!). The two began dating and decided to get married just before Tom left for Afghanistan for a year. When he got back, they decided to experience the whole newlywed adventure - they went on their long-awaited honeymoon, and decided to get their wedding portraits taken, which they traveled to Charleston for. What an honor it was to take photos for this beautiful couple! Thank you, Sharon and Tom, for choosing me to capture the beauty of your marriage! And a special thank you to Tom for his service. What a sacrifice this couple has made to be together. That is true love, my friends.
