Angel Bond & Brian Lackey

August 31, 2019
Angel and Brian met through friends on the Isle of Palms one Labor Day weekend. Twelve years later, after building a life and a band together—she’s the lead singer of the Nashville-based band the Cusses and he’s its drummer—Brian proposed at sunset on the very same beach. While the pair’s singular style permeated the day at Middleton Place (a musician playing a traditional Indian drum lead guests to the outdoor vows; poufs and oriental rugs stood in for ceremony chairs; cloud-like bundles of baby’s breath, hand-painted in vivid hues, hung over the reception; and the bride exited in a white leather jacket and booties), tradition ruled. “The real reason we were there was to have this beautiful union,” says Angel.

Here’s the thing: Charleston’s in the tropics, more or less. And here in the jungle, it rains from time to time, which can put a damper on a portrait sesh out and about if you don’t plan well. The...

Ok, people. Yes, you’re gonna love Jesse and Will’s wedding photos (al fresco reception in the Old Village? Yes, please!). But their proposal story? It might even beat the pretty out for best in show...

Lindsey and José didn’t start off on the right foot (he didn’t do a double-take when he first met her at Boston College, so she gave him the same indifferent treatment, and sparks didn’t fly for...
