Future brides, if you’re on the fence about doing a solo shoot, keep these tips in mind if you need some convincing. And hey, why not turn your confidence into images to remember? We talked with the...
Sometimes you look at a complete stranger’s wedding photos and feel sadness at the fact that you weren’t guests at their incredible event. Welcome to such a fête! Before we trigger FOMO … introductions. Stacy and Hudson met in Boston and had a courtship filled with weekend getaways. One such trip to visit Stacy’s folks on Isle of Palms turned into the ideal proposal opportunity. Our couple had a ritual of early morning beach walks during family visits, but such didn’t normally include Hudson down on one knee and a photographer on standby. Stacy reports genuine shock (a difficult feat) and a happy celebration following her big “yes!” Charleston held obvious significance, and Lowndes Grove won them over with oak trees and a picturesque setting on the Ashley River. “We treated this event as though we were welcoming our guests to our home for a delicious meal and party,” says Stacy. And, oh my, what a combination of breathtaking sophistication and downright fun. On one hand, we have the stained-glass window ceremony chapel, tasteful magnolia and hydrangea florals, and a jazz quartet for cocktail hour. On the other hand, we’re talking a killer bourbon and cigar bar down by the water, epic dance floor action, and late-night bites based on cuisine from their respective areas (who can say no to Philly pretzels or New Orleans beignets?). Most importantly, we have a bride and groom clearly having the very best day of their lives. Sigh … at least the rest of us can enjoy the photos.
