PHOTOGRAPHY

When Kristi first reached out to us, almost 2 years before her wedding, she explained how her fiance Chad was stationed in South Korea, but that they were planning a Charleston wedding for when he was back stateside! If you know our story, you know that Aaron and I met in South Korea, back in 2009 (while we were both living there, teaching English)! So hearing that these two had a tie to S. Korea made us both SO EXCITED!!  Fast forward to last month, when these two tied the knot at Lowndes Grove, on one of the windiest days we’ve ever experienced in Charleston!  We’re talking hurricane force winds, you guys!!  Hair was flying everywhere, glassware was falling and rolling off of the tables and their beautiful draping nearly ripped in half under the tent!!  It was I.N.T.E.N.S.E!!!  But Kristi and Chad laughed and smiled through the entire experience, which was a true testament to the fact that the details were only a small part of what the day was all about!  We absolutely ADORE them and would shoot this windy wedding day over and over and over and over again!! … and for the record, Kristi’s mom Judy is literally OUR BIGGEST FAN!  She has a diamond icon next to her name on our business Facebook page because she likes and comments on so many of our photos!  hahaha!! 
So, without further adieu… Kristi and Chad’s wedding!
