Wedding at Seabrook Island // Michelle & Neil

I really love my job and am very glad that I’ve become a wedding photographer. The best praise for a photographer is when he is recommended to friends and acquaintances. I met Michelle and Neil on the recommendation of their friends. The couple first met at Henry’s downtown Charleston. They both had a really good time together, good conversation. Since that time, Michelle and Neil have been together for 2 years. Michelle and Neil are a very beautiful couple who really appreciate and love each other. They have a lot in common, and trying new foods is one of their favorite things to do together. They both enjoy Charleston and its beaches.

And it was in the beach color scheme that they decided to celebrate their Seabrook wedding on 26th of March 2021. They chose as a wedding venue Seabrook Island Club. The bride was charming in her white dress with amazing embroidery. The dress was fitted, which perfectly emphasized her graceful figure. The upper part of the dress was opened in the form of two wide straps, and it looked very impressive. I managed to shoot a couple from different angles on the ocean shore. There was no very bright sun, which was especially good during the photo session. We took exceptionally beautiful photos at sunset, there was a complete sense of harmony and this was miraculously conveyed in the photographs. Since the main colors were gold, dusty rose and a tiny bit of green, then all the bridesmaids were dressed in pretty, dusty pink dresses. The groom’s friends were dressed to match the groom himself. The wedding bouquet deserved special attention. It was an expertly crafted floral arrangement of roses, orchids of different colors and greenery. This was very beautiful.

Michelle and Neil swore their oath of allegiance under two huge palm trees against the background of the ocean, on the eve of sunset, accompanied by a harp. The weather was wonderful, the sun was shining and the newlyweds were very photogenic. And in such a tandem the wedding photos, taken by Seabrook Island wedding photographer, perfectly conveyed the naturalness of the colors. Seabrook Island Club was an ideal wedding venue. The territory was very vast. Ocean views and palm trees were fabulous. After the ceremony, the guests went to the hall to welcome the newlyweds. The wedding tables were very nicely designed. Each table was decorated with white and pink tablecloths and incredibly beautiful flower arrangements. All the plates were golden, and each plate was placed on a leaf of creepers. There also were cards prepared for the guests where they could write their wishes to Michelle and Neil. As a destination Charleston wedding photographer, I was very glad to meet this wonderful couple and capture the joyful moments of the beginning of their new life together
