Boy do I have some updating for you all! It's been so crazy since the new year and I have been building up so many weddings and shoots to blog! Here is the beginning of a long string of posts. Jennifer and Zachary's Charleston wedding was absolutely amazing and what a great couple! I met Jennifer last May on a shoot in Puerto Rico for Ines Del Mar Magazine. They are covering a story on a "real bride", (Jennifer) and also designing her wedding. Jennifer and I had such a great time working together, that they asked me to photograph their wedding this past December. Of course I was thrilled!!! So fast forwarding to December 6th, I traveled up to Charleston, SC and it couldn't have been better weather. The Southern city was decorated with Christmas lights and decor. The weather was nice and cold and really gave that "Holiday Feel". My two fabulous photographers, Kristin Florin and Paul Nurnberg helped perfectly document there wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better team! My gal Natalie, the rockstar makeup artist of Knockout Artistry was there doing makeup for all the ladies of the wedding party. Amy Morelli with the 2U Collection designed all the invitations, menus, and place cards consisting of metallic paper, ribbon, and Swarovski crystals. And Maggie Rasmussen of Cleanse Bath and Body provided the favors accented with feathers and crystals at the reception. It was all such a great collaboration and Sofia from Ines Del Mar Magazine designed the wedding beautifully. One of my favorite details on Jennifer was her white fur coat that was such a perfect fit for the occasion and weather. She looked amazing! She also wore two designer wedding dresses from Romona Keveza and Claire Pettibone that she got to choose to wear from our shoot in Puerto Rico. Lucky gal! There reception was held and the beautiful, historic William Aiken House in downtown Charleston. The property is a dream location for weddings. The house consisted of several different parlor rooms. One housed the wedding cake and we photographed the wedding party in another room with a Christmas tree and a fireplace. The house was so charming with creaky wooden floors, crown molding throughout and very old paintings hanging everywhere. Dinner was held upstairs with tables all throughout the rooms. Dancing was in the courtyard underneath a white tent with white lights illuminating through the night. I can't say enough about how lovely this wedding was. I am so thankful and blessed to have gotten the chance to photograph Jennifer and Zackary's wedding and to become apart of their memories that they will never forget. Thanks to you two and I hope to have the pleasure of working with you and your family again! xo -Abby
