David and Kate's wedding day may have started with showers, but the clouds cleared for an absolutely breathtaking day. From the touching ceremony filled with thoughtful details, to the reception that easily could have lasted a few more hours, it was just a wonderful experience. I know my team and I felt privileged to be a part of it. Kate and David said their vows inside The Old Sheldon Church Ruins in Yemassee, SC. My hubby is a history buff and he was just beside himself looking at this old church. It is perhaps one of the oldest churches still standing. It was built in 1745 and later burned during the Revolutionary war. The church was rebuilt in 1826 and then burned again during the Civil war. What still stands years later is a breathtaking site. What a great place to say "I do!" The reception followed in Beaufort at the Saltus River Grill. What an amazing party with beautiful details. It was an easy "work" day for my team because David and Kate are vibrant, care free, and so much fun! They were a joy to photograph. It's wonderful when your bride and groom are clearly best friends. Enjoy some of my favorites from the day!
Kate's bridesmaids dresses were so gorgeous! They looked amazing with their hydrangeas. I love this monogram sash on the flowers with her maiden initials.
Momma Beth and Hannah- Kate's sister and maid of honor.
I really had to limit myself shooting with this red trolley....I love the color red...a wedding day....a beautiful bride and bridesmaids...yeah- I could have been here all day!
The flowers were soooo very beautiful. Emily Wynn Wildes did an amazing job.
I love this shot of Kate by the water. Her dress was so beautiful, and her veil was worn by her mother on her wedding day.
David looked like his breath had just been taken away when Kate walked down the aisle.
David and Kate had a foot washing as part of their ceremony. It was such a special symbol of serving one another in marriage.
One of my favorite shots of the day!
love love love....
This is right outside the tent where their reception was held- what a great location!
Definitely a favorite of the day. I think they look like they belong in a magazine.
The reception site was gorgeous! Kate's wedding planner Ashley Rhodes had it all together.
Their first dance! It started out slow then the band cranked it up to "She's a Bad Mamma Jamma" ....love it.
These guys were amazing! Sandy "B" and the Allstars had the floor packed all night!
So much fun! Thanks you two for sharing your day!!!
