Donna & Rob’s Colorful Wedding at Cannon Green

“Katie and Jay were an absolute joy to work with – from our engagement shoot in NYC to our Chinese Tea Ceremony/wedding day in Charleston. There are so many wedding photographers in Charleston and your choices are endless, but Katie and Jay are top-notch. We received our wedding photos in a quick turnaround (in both film and digital) and could not be happier with how they turned out. They truly listen to what’s important to you on your wedding day and the outcome truly exceeded our expectations. They capture a beautiful mix of portraits and all the candid moments my husband and I will cherish for many years to come. Thank you, Katie and Jay!” – Donna

Ahh I am so excited to finally share Donna & Rob’s amazing colorful wedding at Cannon Green from this past fall!! The first time we met this sweet couple was back in August of 2015 at a little coffee spot in Central Park. They flew us back to NY for their engagement session that October and we celebrated with them in Charleston a year later at their wedding! Donna LOVES the look of film and asked me to shoot as much as possible which I gladly obliged (-; Everyone was obsessed with Donna’s bouquet & the bridesmaids dresses. Even now, months later, people will message me asking who designed the dresses and flowers!

They rented a cute house on Vanderhorst Street where Donna & her bridesmaids (all of them are her sisters) got ready. Then we drove to Chalmers Street so she and Rob could share a first look before the ceremony where he showed off his tropical details (pineapple socks & palm tree/tucan jacket lining). The ceremony was St Patricks Church where Robs uncle was their officiant!

Donna & Rob loved how elegant, modern, and beautiful Cannon Green is and all the natural elements right in the Historic District. They are big foodies so the food definitely was a big draw! The fact that it had such the Charleston charm they were looking for was an added plus – the restaurant has part of an old Charleston house inside of it and the area that the reception was in is the historic Trolley Room. Being a destination couple, a one-stop shop with so many elements included was so helpful for them.

My favorite reception detail of theirs (besides the gorgeous flowers) was hands down their dessert set up! Donna & Rob had a cookie dough cake and topped it with super cute polaroids of themselves and next to the cake they displayed photos of their parents cutting THEIR cakes on THEIR wedding days! They also had funfetti mini cupcakes and Mexican hot chocolate cookie sandwiches.

Congrats Donna & Rob!
