“Anna and Ryan’s wedding at Founders Hall in Charleston was nothing short of legendary. From the moment the day began, there was an energy to it…the kind that tells you something special is about to happen.

Before the ceremony, they decided to do things a little differently. After their first look, portraits, and some family photos, they hosted a pre-ceremony cocktail hour where they mingled with guests, laughing and enjoying the moment. Then, instead of walking in separately, they entered the ceremony hand in hand, smiling side by side, and walked one another down the aisle. It was such a personal and joyful touch that felt…”

“Leah and Amanda’s wedding at Edinburgh West wasn’t just a celebration. It was a homecoming, a reunion, and the beginning of the next chapter in a love story shaped by faith, distance, and a connection that never faded. Before diving into their wedding day, I wanted to share a few favorites from each of their bridal sessions — photographed in September and October — to reflect their individual energy leading up to the day.

Their ceremony took place in the woods behind the venue, with rugs lining the aisle, warm fall florals all around, and so many emotional moments.

This hike allowed for reasonable social distancing and gave Wil the opportunity to meet Chu’s new puppy, Marzo. Wil was happy to demonstrate the dog handling skills accumulated over a childhood growing up with four special pets. The trail Chu chose for the first date, known as Difficult Run, would host another important milestone for the couple two and half years later…when Wil proposed to Chu.

To add some flavor and excitement to the date, Chu suggested a sandwich swap…”

“Payton and I met in college, at The University of Alabama. I was in my junior year of undergrad, while Payton was completing his Masters. It was my last sorority date party of the year, and our mutual friends set us up. We instantly connected, bonding over our shared love of traveling and adventure! 

That summer, while I was studying abroad in a hospital in Athens, Greece, Payton was backpacking around Europe. We had kept in touch and decided to meet up as our paths crossed in Greece. We had so much fun together and got along so well. It was as if we had known each other much longer than we had. On our first “date,” we spent hours together exploring the streets of Athens, including…”
