Wedding at Poogan’s Courtyard // Jessica & Kyle

Some people believe that the best friends can become the best partners for each other. You may disagree, but Jessica and Kyle will prove you wrong. Their story started when they were 15. Although they kept in contact for 12 years, they never met in person and communicated only online. October 2019 changed everything – they finally met in Omaha. And it was amazing. Being around each other felt so easy and natural, as if they were hanging out in person for 12 years. Such a long friendship allowed their genuine relationship to blossom.

After 2 years of relationship Jessica and Kyle decided to arrange their small wedding in Charleston. In March 2020 they visited the city and fell in love with it. The color scheme of the wedding was composed from neutral colors. Champagne blush, navy and sage were completed with gold, that added festivity and elegance to the event atmosphere. The chosen venue was so good for the intimate wedding. As Poogan’s courtyard wedding photographers we can’t resist taking numerous photos at such a stylish spot. It did not even need a special decoration to become suitable for a wedding photo session. The navy walls and the rampant fern created the necessary contrast, so the couple and the guests looked stunning.

The newlyweds believe that they are not only best friends and partners, but also soulmates for each other. While Kyle is kind, devoted, loyal and supportive, Jessica is independent, reliable and loving. Their relationship works without any effort. It sounds like a dream. No wonder they had such a remarkable Charleston brunch wedding. We were genuinely happy to be a part of their big day.
