From Caroline RoCome their October wedding, I had been working with Hannah for over a year and a half! Before she was even engaged, she emailed me with questions about having a wedding in (highly coveted) Charleston. From then on, I felt like one of my nearest and dearest friends was getting married. I photographed hers and Morgan’s engagement portraits, Hannah’s bridal session and of course, their wedding day.

Set on a perfect, breezy October afternoon, guests witnessed Hannah and Morgan say their vows after over five years of dating underneath dripping Spanish moss and overlooking the Edisto River. Plantation singers sung Hannah down the aisle as well as the newly married duo to their cocktail hour underneath the oaks.

All the details along the way were thought through with so much care: Hannah’s invitations were hand calligraphed on the softest of linen paper, her dress was bought without her having tried in on by a friend local to Charleston, the bridesmaids picked out their favorite Adrianna Papell gowns which went perfectly with the groomsmens’ tuxes. Hannah even donned her great-grandmother’s fur for portrait time, intentionally including family heirlooms in the day. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail hour under the oaks and the reception underneath a beautiful Sperry tent alongside a classic checkered dance floor with cafe lighting above.
