The Inn at Middleton Place Intimate Micro Wedding South Carolina

Emilia + Matt: Charleston Inn at Middleton Place Wedding and Angel Oak Tree wedding

Charleston, SC is famous for those beautiful cobblestone streets and Historic buildings downtown such as Rainbow Row. If you Mosey off the Beaten path, you can find hidden gems such as the Inn at Middleton Place. It is tucked behind a Horse stable and touches the grounds of the Historic Middleton Plantation.

You have to look closely to find this Modern Inn. It is nestled in the trees overlooking the water, engulfed with vegetation. The definition of green. This was the place where Emilia and Matt knew they had to stay for their intimate wedding in Charleston.

The idea to tie the knot in South Carolina came about when Matt and Emilia vacationed at Folly Beach for spring break. They had heard about the beautiful Angel Oak tree and ventured down to see it. Once they got there Emilia knew, one day, she was going to Marry Matt under that tree. They spent over an hour there looking at the colossal beauty in the woods.

Their story is pretty adorable. To think it all started with Emilia’s crush on Matt since she was a freshman in High school and he was a freshman in college (her sister was friends with him so that is how their introduction happened). She thought he was so dreamy. A few springs later they kept running into each other and the timing was perfect. They fell fast and fell hard in love The rest is history.

They have shared some fun adventures traveling together and exploring new places. One of the most memorable ones was the proposal. Matt and Emilia went down to the beach on a freezing cold morning with their pup Finn. They enjoyed doing this some days. As the two headed up the dune, Matt was saying sweet things to Emilia. After sharing his affection, he dropped down on one knee. Emilia didn’t even look at the ring all she remembers is crying and tackling him into the sand with a bunch of smooches, Finn joined in with some puppy licks too. Thankfully the ring survived the tackle!

I have known Emilia (I call her Mida) since high school. To watch this girl say I do was the best. I just remember sitting at her moms house chatting YEARS ago (at least 7 now) about the start of this photography business and all of my doubts with it. She was so supportive and the moment she asked if I would travel for her big day, I was so in! It is so neat looking back and seeing how far your business has come and who has been with you since the beginning. Thanks Mida and Matt for asking me to document the start of your marriage adventure :)

Navy Blue and Green Fall wedding at the Flyway Lodge: Knotts Island NC

Lindsey + Ryan’s Fall Boho + Navy + Green Rustic Wedding

What started as an introduction from their friend mutual friend Rose, at a beach volleyball game, would lead these two down the aisle at the Rustic Flyway Lodge.

It all started at the beach where Lindsey was playing Volleyball but their first official date was a little bit different. Lindsey always celebrates the start of summer with an end of the year school pool party celebration. It was the perfect opportunity to invite Ryan over for their first official date. Ryan walked in with a case of beer, mind you this was the first time he was meeting ALL of Lindsey’s family. He takes a step into the party and hears “You are welcome to enter.” Coming from Lindseys dad, Jimmy. From that point on Ryan was loved by the whole family

New Years eve, they rung in with Lindseys family and two of their best friends from Richmond. They rented a home in Cape Charles VA. The morning of New Year’s Eve the family decided to brave the 10 degree temperatures to get a picture by the famous LOVE sign. As they were sitting in the car with the heat blasting, Lindsey dared Ryan to go out on the pier with her.

Ryan took that as the perfect opportunity to propose. He ran over to the car that Lindseys brother was in to tell him what was happening and get ready to film. They get all the way out to the very end of the pier, She is snap chatting away paying no mind. Lindsey took a selfie with Ryan and momentarily turned around to mess with her phone. During that second Ryan got down on one knee. The rest of the family was watching from the comfort of their heated cars but were equally joyful. They took photos at the love sign (which later they recreated for their engagement session with their puppy girl, Harley). They celebrated with Champagne for the rest of the day.

The day came, a gorgeous September day with not a cloud in sight. Barely any humidity. The sun shined down so bright on these two as they exchanged vows with the Currituck sound as their backdrop. Lindseys brother, Loren conducted the ceremony. Bridesmaids were in Navy blue and the two angelic flower girls made it down the aisle like professionals. Harley, the couples 7 year old Boxer, was escorted down the aisle by her dad in his Dress Blues.

The Reception was a foodies dream. Black pelican catering had a taco bar, BBQ and more. Shortcakes sweets provided every type of sweet your heart desires and the chilly mermaid arrived as a night cap with their GELATO truck. It was a perfection. Lindsey + Ryan you know i LOVED working with you two. Hands down I would do it again over and over!!! Congratulations!!

A Summer wedding under the twinkle lights in Virginia Beach VA →

July 27, 2018 Skylar Scott

Whitney and Shane’s family farm wedding took place under the hot July moon and twinkle lights.

An Elegant Virginia Beach VA Farm Wedding

This stunning couple met on a blind date set up by mutual friends. Whitney knew they had something special from the start. Dinner wrapped up and these two found themselves chatting late into the evening while sitting in Whitney's driveway.

Time passes and love begins to dream about the future. Nothing makes a couple think about love more than Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, Shane & Whitney both had to work on the holiday itself, so they decided to go to Coastal Grill a day later. After a lovely dinner, they headed back home...Whitney could barely get her heels off before Shane popped the question! They spent the rest of the evening calling family and friends to share the great news.

On a beautiful July day, everyone they love gathered on Shane's family farm to share in their vows. Whitney was a vision of loveliness in a beautiful David Tutera gown & Badgley Mischka pumps. She carried her something borrowed, a handkerchief passed down over the years for brides to wear in her family (every bride who used this heirloom has their name printed on the box). Whitney's daughter & Shane's niece took their role as flower girls very seriously. Some say these cuties may have even stolenthe show! Whitney's father escorted her down the aisle and up the stairway of the historic 1794 farm house. Breath-taking is the only description that will do.

Thunderstorms had threatened the forecast all week, but Shane & Whitney had extra luck on their side. Don, Shane's dad happened to find not one but two 4 leaf clovers the morning of the wedding. He had them pressed and presented them to the couple during his welcome speech at the reception.

Guests mingled under the trees during cocktail hour and then danced the night away to tunes from the Hotcakes. Laughter and happiness floated through the back yard like bubbles where they were surrounded by lush greenery amidst splashes of grey and blush tones thoughtfully chosen for this special night. It will live in everyone's hearts forever....but especially Whitney and Shane’s.
