Jacob Garibay & Shayla Degregorio

October 22, 2022
As students at Charleston Southern University, Jacob and Shayla met a few times before falling for each other. After a chance encounter in 2018, the two became inseparable, sharing trips to Disney and countless dinner dates. During a visit to New York for Valentine’s day, Jacob popped the question while on a private tour of the Statue of Liberty. Following a wedding ceremony on the veranda at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, the couple, who now live in North Charleston, led guests to the back lawn for festivities that included a cigar bar, light-up cowboy hats, and Southern staples such as chicken and waffles.

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...
