Phillip and Kelsey had planned a small gathering beside the ocean for their fall wedding on Folly Beach. Mother nature unfortunately had other plans that weekend with a southern nor'easter ripping through. It was cold with sideways rain and wind that quite honestly looked like a hurricane. I am not sure I have ever seen anything quite like it! To say it didn't go as planned may be an understatement. Instead of a beach front wedding their ceremony was in the dining room of the beach house. But oh these two were the sunshine on the dreariest of days...and they carried the light needed to make the day magical. I said to my assistant many times that day "these two are focusing on all the right things and not allowing the things going wrong to damper their day." It was a beautiful thing. Kelsey and I quickly made a rain plan as soon as we could see what was coming our way with the weather. We shot their first look and some images with the bridal party the day before the wedding on the beach complete with umbrellas and rain coats and a rockstar bridal party (they were serious champs)!!! We were able to shoot a sun-filled session a few days post their actual wedding with the most magical sunset and cotton candy skies! Perhaps none of it went quite as planned but I have a really good feeling that these two will weather the storms of life together just fine. Enjoy some of my favorites.
