A Vibrant Garden Wedding at Middleton Place

Kathryn & Patricks Vibrant Garden Wedding at Middleton Place

Middleton Place in Charleston was the best venue for Kathryn & Patrick’s outdoor garden wedding! The camellias were in bloom, the sheep were out & the florals were on point for their vision of a romantic and vibrant garden wedding!

Getting Ready at Bee & Blossom

Kathryn and her bridesmaids got ready at the CUTEST historic air bnb, Bee and Blossom!! It felt modern yet still historic on the inside, a perfect blend of Charleston today!

I was wrapping up the robe photo with the bridesmaids when suddenly one of them said “uhhh..wait. I think we’ve been missing someone this whole time”. And sure enough we, were! Kathryn’s mom volunteered to get our MIA bridesmaid so I told everyone to clap for her when she walked in the room. It got everyone laughing.

1st Look & Portraits at Middleton

Kathryn was really excited about the vintage bus they rented to transport everyone to Middleton! We actually did the first look across the street from her air bnb at St Lukes Chapel because I knew they had an AMAZING oak tree that would still flow well with their Middleton garden vibe but it saved us a lot of time and the couple was able to spend some time riding to Middleton on the bus with the entire wedding party instead of staying apart to do the first look at Middleton.

And of course, the sheepies were out so we had to get some shots with them! A totally unplanned photo happened though… a sheep walked up to them, stared at Kathryn’s bouquet and tried to eat it! Which is a photo that WE have from our wedding from the same thing happening! It was a happy accident.

Octagonal Garden Ceremony

This oak tree is popular for wedding ceremonies for a reason! Its just so damn perfect! One of the benefits of having 2 photographers for a Middleton Place wedding  is that while I’m up front waiting for everyone to walk down the aisle, Jay gets to stay behind and get candid photos of everyone waiting to walk down.

Cocktail Hour in the Crane Garden

Right after they said I Do, I whisked Kathryn & Patrick away for 5 minutes to get them showing off their rings & celebrating with a drink! Then they hopped on the carriage for a romantic private ride to the cocktail hour while I ran across the lawn to wait for them at the entrance gate! I always try my best to give the couple a few minutes totally alone after these pictures, even if its just for a minute.
