Earlier today … much earlier today … we told you we’d have a fabulous wedding for you … SO sorry it took so long to get it posted! Please enjoy!!

Lorraine & Sanders were married in April at the Legare-Waring House in Charleston. What an amazingly beautiful place!! The day was captured on film by the super-talented Richard Israel …




This beautiful day was choreographed by another Little Black Book member, Melissa Barton and her terrific team at A Charleston Bride! They pretty much do it all … event decor and design, coordination, AND floral design. Wow. What a gorgeous event this was!


We asked Melissa to share a little of Lorraine & Sanders’ story …
Lorraine is a very successful (and busy) woman so she gave me a lot of free reign with the design. She knew she wanted bright pink and black as her color palette, but was open to any suggestions from there. As a matter of fact, she was pleasantly surprised at her bouquet as she really wasn’t sure what it would look like! She loved the southern charm of the Legare-Waring House with the oak trees dripping with moss and alligators relaxing on the bank of the pond so we kept it simple and elegant. Everything was clean, not fussy which fit Lorraine and Sanders’ personalities perfectly. It truly reflected their style and the guests were in awe!


REALLY PRETTY !!!
If you missed the post earlier today about Richard’s “return to film”, you really need to check it out. A very insightful interview concerning the unique aspects of film photography. Film vs. digital vs. a combination is one of the key decisions you need to make as a couple when choosing your wedding photographer! There are pros and cons to both, and lots of passion for both. Be sure you examine all sides of the question!
And to see more of Richard’s sensational images from weddings to fashion to family … visit his blogs {here} and {here} and his website. Truly awesome work.
So, to wrap it up, here are a few more of Richard’s captivating images from Lorraine & Sanders’ wonderful celebration of love and family …


Thank you SO much, Richard (and Liz) and Melissa for sharing this fantastic day!
I love this wedding! It's such a sophisticated and stylish take on the hot pink and black color combo.
Can you Please tell me where you got the programs?
Beautiful!
LOVE the cake & black cake stand! The fountain is awesome also!
So beautiful! I don't even like pink but this is just gorgeous! It's subtle and pretty...
I love the color scheme! I also love the one floating pink peony in the clear glass stand. It was simple and elegant. The cake is very pretty too!
where is the veil from? I love it!!
The cake is simple, yet stunning!
I've been looking for shoes like the bride's! Do you know where she got them?
This wedding is so beautiful! It's the inspiration I've been looking for! Pink and black tends to be overdone, but this was the perfect combination of the two! So beautiful!
The shoes are wedding dyeables, google wedding shoes wedges. I found them online, but bought them locally.
The veil came from Lady Hamilton Bridal in Arlington VA and the programs were bought and assembled from Paper Source.
This is stunning.
The flowers and the cake are gorgeous...
Thanks for the heads up, Lorraine! :)
Umm. Please may have all the flowers. They are beautiful.
This wedding is absolutely beautiful! I love to find new inspiration as a newer wedding planner, and this totally does it for me. Not to mention that my blog happens to be featuring pink this month!!
LOVE IT

It came from Papermojo.com. It's designed by Snow & Graham and it's the Blackberry (SG-1624). Good luck!
Truely beautiful work !
Light, composition, sensitivity, emotion, mood.. all coming together to make great photographs!
In the UK we tend to do all the work ourselves in wedding planning... but you can so see the professional's ability to create wonderful settings in these and many other photographs i see on this site. Lovely vision throughout!
Awesome!
I LOVE the cake stand! I've been looking for a cake stand like that for months! Can you tell me who provides it? The cake looks delicious and the flowers go so nicely with the bride's dress. This wedding was beautiful.
I've also been looking for a cake stand just like this one! Any info you can give us on where I could find one would be super helpful. What a beautiful wedding!
