Hotel Florence wedding, private venue reception

Stepping into the romantic lanes of historic downtown Charleston, SC, Laura & Dustin's engagement session was nothing short of magical. As a Florence, SC wedding photographer, I was thrilled to capture their genuine moments against the rich backdrop of the city. We weaved through the iconic streets, letting Charleston's charm play its part, transitioning seamlessly with an outfit change that added more depth to the narrative. Our day ended under the grand oaks of White Point Gardens, also lovingly known as The Battery, where love and nature danced together.

Laura also scheduled a breathtaking bridal session at Lowndes Grove. This Charleston gem boasts interiors that whisper tales from the past and offer scenic views overlooking the Ashley River, making it a dream canvas for wedding photography.

As their big day dawned, both Laura and Dustin and their wedding party prepared for their moments at the timeless Hotel Florence, a cornerstone in the historic heartbeat of Florence, SC. The day flowed to the quaint Christ Church, a testament to history and devotion nestled in the countryside. This Anglican sanctuary provided an intimate setting that captured the essence of their vows.

The festivities didn't end there. Their reception, meticulously curated by Lumen Events – one of the Southeast's premier wedding and event planning maestros based in Florence, SC – was a feast for the senses. Held on private property, every detail was tailored to perfection, making my job as a wedding photographer easy.
