St. Patrick Catholic Church Wedding // Erin & Matthew

Couple at the altar of St. Patrick Catholic Church with red flowers and guests

They have been together for 6.5 years. They have shared dreams and a desire to go on with life only together. She told him “I do” and now they are ready to become husband and wife. This is the story of the beautiful couple Erin and Matthew. Just look at their wonderful wedding photo shoot.

The long preparation, thinking through all the details, creating a plan for the best celebration. And the desire for everything to go perfectly. Finally that milestone day has arrived – on December 30, 2022, Erin and Matthew made their relationship official.

The majestic St. Patrick Catholic Church was the setting for the beautiful ceremony. Under the high carved vaults of the church, surrounded by loved ones, they confirmed their love.

The couple walked out of the church, already married, to the enchanting sounds of the bagpipes. How atmospheric!

For the ceremony the bride chose a snow-white dress with a puffed skirt and open shoulders. Her hair was gathered in an elegant bundle. A long veil and a bouquet of white roses complemented the exquisite wedding image. The elegant bridesmaids wore classic black dresses.

The groom appeared in black pants, a white jacket, and a black bowtie. The groom’s friends wore classic business black suits, like a real gentlemen’s team.

The meeting between Erin and Matthew took place at Presbyterian College. The situation turned out to be very amusing, for Matthew at first paid attention not to the girl, but to her white sneakers. However, he could not miss such a charming girl as Erin.

The first dance, warm wishes from friends and family, and the throwing of the bride’s bouquet. When the bride played her electronic guitar, everyone was incredibly excited. The day was definitely the most memorable of the couple’s lives.

Erin is originally from Charleston, so the couple couldn’t think of a better location for their wedding. This is the city they want to build their married life in. Great choice!
