wade and andrew’s pawley’s island debordieu WEDDING
I have such vivid memories of chatting with Wade on the phone well before the wedding. Even through the phone, she radiated joy! I could tell she was beaming while telling me about her fiance, Andrew and their vision for their Debordieu wedding. Fast forward to June and they were gifted with a day that wasn’t too hot or humid but still made you love Southern Summers. The grounds of their ceremony site, The Abbey at Pawley’s Island, were stunning and made the perfect backdrop for portraits with their wedding party, family (and favorite fur baby). Stunning & Brilliant Events transformed their Deborideu reception into a bright and floral-filled dream with the most beautiful tree installation around the bar centering the space. It was a pure honor and joy to work with Wade and Andrew and their families on this day-there are so many memories and moments that are still so vivid to me, I can only imagine the memories that these images will bring back to life.
Arianna and Joshua’s lowndes grove wedding
Arianna and Joshua’s Lowndes Grove wedding was one for the books. They started their wedding weekend with a traditional and intimate Greek ceremony before their larger ceremony and party on Saturday. The design was inspired by the marsh-the exact setting of Lowndes Grove-overlooking the Ashley River and a big reason why the venue is so popular. Abby of Peninsula Events and Rosebay Floral ran with the vision and brought to life a modern Charleston wedding with nods to the couple, their heritage and the marsh.
After that first meeting on the dance floor to exchanging vows all these years later…this was worth the wait, Johnson’s!
Lily and Brian’s ankony carriage house upstate new york wedding
Lily and Brian’s Catskills wedding weekend started the day before with the loveliest of rehearsal dinners. A tight-knit crew was invited and dined on the deck of the Ankony Carriage House overlooking hills rolling into the Hudson River. The sun slowly set, creating a glowing golden hour, which was the perfect backdrop for dinner and a few toasts from family. And yet all of this was just a precursor for what was to come the following day. Skies were bright blue and the air was crisp, perfect weather for a wedding at the Ankony Carriage House. Lily got ready upstairs with her bridesmaids while Brian and his guys tied their bowties and slipped into their jackets down the street in Rhinebeck. After exchanging vows, that same golden hour light returned, creating what felt like the warmest and holiest of portraits for the newlyweds. Guests were ushered into a tented reception with greenery galore, toasts that made everyone laugh so hard they cried and dancing to the songs of a 12-piece band.
Lily and Brian…I’m ready to do this again whenever you are!
Claudette and Matt’s Wythe hotel brooklyn wedding
Where do I start with these two? You may remember their Boston engagement session a while back and how effortlessly chic they were. That cool and easy attitude carried through to their Brooklyn wedding day at the Wythe Hotel. Claudette embodied class and timelessness in an Essense of Australia gown while Matt mirrored her in his Brooks Brother tux. Any time I get to shoot a Wythe Hotel wedding, it’s a dream and this wedding weekend was nothing less than that.
justin and tim’s dewberry hotel charleston wedding
I remember my initial call with Justin and Tim and felt like such kindred spirits. They were the kind of easy-going that I didn’t have any qualms about being my true self so come their November Dewberry Hotel wedding in Charleston, South Carolina, that same sense of ease carried over. Fox Events brought their vision to life, perfectly balancing a masculine and feminine energy for their reception dinner and flipping their ceremony space to a dinner setting in record time. Justin+Tim, I can’t wait until we cross paths in the South again!
