Yep, thats right! They are up and ready and I’m soo thrilled to post this wedding! Wedding season is definitely in high gear and I wanted to show off a few from this wonderful couple’s wedding weekend. Patricia & Mike are both pilots, and therefore, work crazy schedules. Because they live in Atlanta and were planning their destination wedding for Charleston, they hired Melanie Murphy and her team with By Invitation Only. They handled everything from planning to decor, and even the day of coordination! Everything ran smoothly and turned out to be one of the most stunning weddings we’ve ever photographed!
One of our favorite parts of the day was the couple’s first glimpse. Yes, thats right! They decided to see one another prior to the ceremony. I cannot say enough how incredibly special this is. If I could go back in time, I would have done this myself. Some people think it takes away from the day, but when you see these PRICELESS moments below… I believe you will think twice. You can’t possibly recreate these moments between a couple, and you definitely can’t capture these in the actual ceremony. Plus, this allowed for unlimited time with the couple to walk all around Charleston and get some amazing shots. Shots, that we otherwise would not have been able to get. :)
So…. enough rambling on my part. Enjoy! Patricia & her mom sharing a moment before she goes to meet Mike.
Tiger Lily Florsit created the beautiful bouquet and arrangements.
Waiting for Mike to see her for the first time. :)
Just one more reason why I adore working with my husband! He was standing in the marsh [literally] to capture this shot! I love it!
And… the same shot from my perspective. See how great it is to have 2 photographers!
Another shot of her bouquet. The ceremony and reception took place at Charleston’s Historic – The Old Exchange.
The STUNNING ceremony setting! Melanie Murphy blew me away with this! It was so romantic and intimate!
Have I mentioned how much I LOVED the setup and beautiful candle lighting?!!
They even took private dance lessons for their first dance, dancing to ‘Fly Me to the Moon’.
Awesome job you two! Thank you for allowing us to be apart of your big day! We wish you both the very best and a long, happy marriage!
