Alicia and Rob // A Cottages on Charleston Harbor Wedding
.
Alicia and Rob are one of the most laid-back couples I have worked with. Not only were they super fun during their bicycle engagement session, but they kept their cool even when a crazy storm blew through town on their wedding weekend! Strong wind gusts and intermittent rain all day long didn't change the fact that this couple was so excited to get married.
Alicia and Rob celebrated their wedding day at The Cottages on Charleston Harbor, an amazing, quaint location, tucked away at Patriots Point and right on the edge of Charleston Harbor. The ten private cottages that meander through the marsh and trees created a private escape for the wedding day festivities. The couple celebrated with close friends before the ceremony with separate his and her cocktail hours in different cottages. And three of the cottages served as the perfect backdrop for Alicia being escorted by her father to the ceremony on the sandy harbor-front beach. The rain held off and even the sun popped out while Alicia and Rob said 'I do' to each other in front of family and friends.
Despite the weather, the celebration continued into the night. Satin Finish made the dance floor was the place to be, especially when Rob decided to serenade his new bride not once, but twice from the stage. When the night ended, the happy couple said farewell to all who celebrated with them with one last dance out of the tent and into the raindrops of the night.
Thanks to Alicia and Rob and their families for letting me be a part of their special day! And thanks to all the amazing vendors for helping create such a beautiful event!
Enjoy!!

Laura and Shane // A Charleston Waterfront Park Wedding
.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of being a wedding photographer is experiencing the individuality of every bride and groom I work with. Each couple has a different vision for their wedding day, and each wedding is special.
Laura and Shane's vision for their wedding day was intimate and sweet. The couple was joined by their parents, siblings and two close friends to celebrate their union which took place on the pier at Waterfront Park in Charleston overlooking Charleston Harbor. Sailboats past behind the couple as they said their vows in front of their loved ones and a few charmed bystanders.
After their ceremony, we walked the beautiful streets of downtown Charleston capturing fun, relaxed portraits of just Laura and Shane. It was so great to be photographing a couple so happy to have just tied the knot. I think it shows in every photo!
We finished our portraits at High Cotton Restaurant where Laura and Shane continued their night of celebrating with family and friends.
Congratulations to the happy couple! Thanks so much for letting me be part of your special day Laura and Shane!
Enjoy!!
