Legare Waring House- Charleston South Carolina Wedding – Ashlee & Tony

I have been dying to share Ashlee & Tony’s Legare Waring House wedding since we traveled to Charleston South Carolina to photograph it. Matthew & I love traveling. To experience new places as destination photographers is such a privilege. I adored Charleston and I hope that we will get to go back there again in the future.

The bride, Ashlee, & I have basically known each other since birth. Our moms have been in the same friends’ group since they were in high school. Ashlee’s mom, Lori, even served as a bridesmaid at my parents’ wedding.  So to have Ashlee ask us to document her wedding was such an honor.  Here are some of our favorite photos.

This wedding exuded southern charm. Ashlee’s blush Allure bridal gown was dripping with lace. It was elegant and classic.

All the pretty details.

Tony wrote Ashlee a touching note…

It was a special moment between mother and daughter as the bride got into her gown. To make it even more special they used Ashlee’s great grandmother’s blue crochet hook to hook the loops on the back of her gown. It served as both something borrowed & something blue!

I love the look of pride & joy on Lori’s face as she smoothed the veil.

The house was so quaint.

Tony’s details.

Tony had his brother by his side to help him get all dressed up.

Ashlee & Tony decided to do a first look before the ceremony.

Tony was elated to see his beautiful bride.

This is the “Wedding Oak” it is one of Ashlee’s favorite spots at Legare Waring House. It looks like it’s straight out of a fairytale, so lovely and ethereal.

The light was epic as it washed through the trees. It gave the couple a beautiful glow.

The gate at the front of the property was also an awesome spot for photos.

We headed over to the Avenue of Oaks for the bridal party photos.  The draped trees made the prettiest background.

Tony’s 95-year-old grandpa served as an honorary groomsman. I think that is just the sweetest thing to honor his pap.

This was my first time doing a celebratory champagne splash… IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I want to do it again ASAP!

I love the natural expressions of joy and laughter.

Toasts.

The newlyweds first dance as man & wife.

The mother-daughter dance was so sweet.  They had huge smiles the whole dance.

Tony took his mom out onto the floor for the traditional mother-son dance.

After all the formalities everyone got out onto the dance floor and danced the night away!!!!

The couple ended the night with a sparkling wand send off!

And they lived happily ever after… The beginning.
