To me, one of the most lovely and important images for your photographer to capture on your wedding day, is a “portrait” or image of you… Lots of brides opt to do a portrait session prior to the wedding, which does help give you a sense of hair and make up, and flowers and how they work with the dress before the big day. But, there is something magical about the images captured by these photographers of our brides on the actual day, almost as if you can really see the emotion of what’s to come. Sharing some of our favorites today…

Tara Guerard Soiree wedding by Corbin Gurkin

As 2015 comes to an end, I’m reflecting on what can only be described as an amazing year. Amazing clients, amazing venues and locations, amazing photographers, and amazing feats performed by the Soirettes. I’m sharing a little snippett or two from each wedding and look forward to what 2016 brings! Our first photo is from a wedding in Aspen, Colorado shot by Corbin Gurkin.  I truly appreciate the change in scenery that the mountain backdrop offered us, and we were able to embrace different design elements that we are often reinventing at our coastal venues.

This fun, funny, and vivacious couple had a truly reflective and personal wedding at Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, SC. There are so many charming details at this venue alone and throw in a couple full of personality and it made for a perfectly charming event. We’ll be featuring more from this wedding shot by Perry Vaile in the new year on a Wedding Wednesday.

Liz Banfield joined us for this simply elegant affair in Sea Island, Ga. An iconically classic location lent beautiful scenery to this sweet couple as they celebrated with friends and family. We always love being at Sea Island.

A celebration at the brides’ family home in Greenville, SC was a fabulous way to start off the year. I can’t wait to share more of this wedding when we are able to, Corbin’s photos are amazing as always.

Brief showers during a cocktail hour provided for some sweet shots by Elizabeth Messina. This affair overlooking the water at Lowndes Grove Plantation included a satellite bar on a deep water dock on the Ashley River.

This bride (one half of design house Dee Hutton) designed and created her own wedding dress. With a flair for the dramatic, a fitting fete at Fenwick Plantation outside of Charleston was the perfect place for this dress to make it’s debut. Look out for a feature on this wedding in Brides Magazine in the new year.
