Styled Shoot | The Governor Thomas Bennett House



We admit we have a soft spot for Hannah Alyssa Photography (back when she was just out of school Hannah worked with us at Charleston Weddings), but it’s totally guilt-free because she’s just so darn good! Honestly, having a shutterbug like her makes any bride feel (and look) like a bonafide princess. So. When this autumnal styled shoot came our way, we got really excited to share it with you, because not only was it loaded with gorgeous ideas dreamed up by The Petal Report’s Cayleigh Hopkins, it was also captured in a way that simply uplifts. As for the premise: Fall, one of the most popular times for weddings in the Lowcountry, is all about texture and embracing the colors that Mother Nature gives us during this coziest of seasons. From purple hues to cranberry tones, we brought together a range of flowers and greenery to best represent this time of year,” says Cayleigh. Add in that sweet invitation suite from Hatch Cove Designs and we are admittedly a tad in love. Get ready to pull up your Pinterest boards, brides. Happy scrolling, all!
