Dunes West Wedding | Lori & Mike » Carolina Photosmith

November is such a beautiful time for Lowcountry weddings! It’s Lori and Mike’s anniversary today, so I wanted to share their gorgeous autumn Dunes West wedding.

September is still toasty despite the back-to-school idea that fall will usher in cool weather. After a decade as a Charleston wedding photographer, my experience is that October might be the stormiest month, especially during busy hurricane seasons. That leads us to November, which still has plenty of fine days for outdoor ceremonies and fantastic autumn sunsets. I wish more couples would consider November weddings, especially when you see this color palette.
