After shooting a couple of my own weddings in November (posts coming soon!), I had the opportunity to work with fun and talented Paige Winn. We had a great day documenting the festivities for Katie and James. We started at Stella Nova on King Street, headed uptown to the Francis Marion for the bride to don her gown and then moved on to Summerall Chapel wedding on the Citadel campus. I headed to the cocktail hour at the Old Exchange Building and Paige hopped in the limo with the newlyweds. Darkness fell early, so their spontaneous stop at the candy shop made for some colorful and fantastic portraits. Check them out here, and enjoy the full wedding post. Thanks for having me along, Paige! The gorgeous pink and gray reception and elegant dinner were styled by Southern Protocol.

As James reminisced about his days at the Citadel, he had a good laugh showing his buddies an escape route.

Instead of tossing her bouquet, Katie presented it to her tearful mom. Such sweetness!
