Ally & Nathan’s Rainy Wedding Photos at Magnolia in Charleston

“I can’t say enough good things about Katie!! Not only is she one of the most talented photographers I’ve ever seen, she is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She makes taking pictures so easy and fun! It rained our entire wedding day yet Katie was still able to capture our day beautifully. I can’t recommend her enough. Her husband is also a wonderful addition to her talent!!! We felt so blessed to have them photograph our wedding day! We will forever cherish our photos” – Ally 

No one WANTS it to rain on their wedding day, but your attitude towards the weather you’ve been given can truly make or break your Best Day Ever! Embracing the rain the only thing you really can do about it, and thats exactly what Ally & Nathan did! When we first started the day, Ally was understandably sad that it was raining, but with a little help from her friends, she was laughing in a matter of minutes and stopped letting it get to her. Nathan even wrote her a super cute note addressing the rain as “one more thing we have been through together”. The only time I saw Ally shed any tears though was when she gave her mom (who is really her aunt but raised her) a handkerchief inscribed with words from a book she used to read to Ally when she was a child.

Our original First Look plan was to do it under the oak tree by the carriage house, umbrellas at the ready for the rain – but just when Ally was walking up to Nathan (literally just feet behind him!) it started raining TOO heavily. We rushed her back inside, moved Nathan to the tented area behind the carriage house and went for round 2! You could just see the stress melt off of them, and from that point on, the smiles didnt leave their faces! We had a brief break from the rain so I pulled them out from cover and we got some amazing azalea portraits!

Throughout the day, Ally’s super star bridesmaids kept wringing out the bottom of her dress which made for some fun photos! Like I said, you just gotta go with it (-;
Even though it rained during the ceremony (Ally entered the tent under an umbrella), both Ally & Nathan couldnt stop staring at each other and smiling hard (a perfect example of how doing a First Look doesnt take away from this moment!).

After the ceremony we had another short break from the rain so we rushed over to the White Bridge that they both love so much and got some great pictures of them before releasing them into their cocktail hour to dance the night away with their friends and families!

Congratulations Ally & Nathan!

What was the most memorable moment of the wedding day?
The most memorable moment was our ceremony. It was so beautiful and romantic with the rain falling in the background. When our officiant said I now pronounce you husband and wife, I got the biggest smile on my face! All the stress and hard work of making our wedding day happen was finally over and we were husband and wife.

What was your favorite detail of the day?
My favorite detail was having a picture of my birth mom that passed away on my bouquet.

What was one way you saved money on your wedding day?
We didn’t have a program. We also didn’t put any napkins, silverware or extra details to our reception tables. We just had floral arrangements which saved us a lot of money.
What made your wedding day special & unique to you as a couple?
The past two years of our relationship have been difficult at times. I lost my birth father and Nathan changed jobs. Having it rain our entire wedding day wasn’t ideal. But both of us embraced it and relied on each other to get through it. I’ll never forget Nathan saying to me “no one wants to hear about a wedding where everything turns out perfectly”. And he is right! We have a lot of good stories now!
What were some touches that made your wedding more personalized?
The picture of my birth mom with a rose at the ceremony. The Georgia southern cake. The Polaroid table because we love taking pictures.
What advice would you give for future couples planning their big day? Good or bad or both!
Don’t sweat the small stuff. Be in the moment.
Is there anything you would change or do differently?
Wish that the sand gnats had not joined the ceremony!
