Pure, unadulterated joy. That is my favorite thing to see in a couple, and it completely and totally described Allie and Wes.
The moment I walked in to their getting ready villa and saw Allie’s huge smile, I knew it was going to be a good day. The whole day, neither Allie nor Wes was worried about anything. I don’t think the smiles ever left their faces. On the boat ride after their ceremony, Allie kept repeating, “I’m so HAPPY!” It’s beautiful to see two people so confident in their love, so comfortable in each other’s arms, and so joyful to be spending the day with all their closest family and friends.
Allie and Wes met on a beach, got engaged on a beach, and decided it was only fitting that they were married close to the beach!
They met through mutual friends, and even though they were living on opposite sides on the country, they realized they had so much in common. Allie left the weekend pretty bummed that she wouldn’t see Wes again, but thanks to some hardcore Facebook stalking, he had found her and sent her a message before her plane even landed. One of my favorite parts of the ceremony was when Allie’s brother, their officiant, read some of those early Facebook messages they sent each other while falling in love. He had Allie and Wes doubled over in laughed as he read their silly messages complete with emojis. Everything about Allie and Wes just radiates joy, and I love that they were able to share those moments with family and friends.
Allie and Wes, congratulations to you a million times over!
[…] “I cannot say enough good things about Taylor!! In such a popular wedding destination as Charleston, there are so many vendors to choose from and in the initial stages of our wedding planning I had some concerns about feeling like “just another couple” and whether we would find vendors who would truly care about us and our wedding day.When I found Taylor’s website, something about the way she wrote about herself, her process, and her work just clicked with me and I just knew she was the photographer for us. When we finally met in person for our engagement shoot a few months later, I knew immediately my instincts had been right. My (now) husband and I felt comfortable with Taylor right away. Our session was spent getting to know each other, laughing a lot, and taking really beautiful photos. Taylor was exactly the down to earth, approachable, genuine person I wanted to surround myself with on my wedding day.In the months leading up to our wedding, Taylor was quick to respond and easy to communicate with and as the day got closer, she continued to show genuine excitement and anticipation for seeing us and being a part of our big day. She asked thoughtful questions to get to know us and our story, our families, and what was most important to us on our wedding day. She spent time working with our wedding planner to perfect our timeline and make sure all of our movements and photo ops were planned out just right.Most importantly, Taylor’s photographs are BEAUTIFUL and she did an incredible job capturing every aspect of the day. Our portraits are perfectly placed and she gave great direction not only to us but to our bridal party and family as well. And the candid photos truly capture the energy and excitement of the entire day.I am so thrilled and grateful to Taylor to have photos that reflect all of the beauty and love that we were surrounded with on our wedding day!” -Allie R.
