An Elopement at the Cottages on the Charleston Harbor
Charleston, South Carolina
Megan and Jay had their elopement at the Cottages on the Charleston Harbor on Mother’s Day this year! It was one of my first photoshoots since everything started with COVID, and it felt amazing to be back at work! And I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter couple to work with. Talk about a JOYFUL couple! It didn’t matter to them that because of COVID, Jay’s suit jacket didn’t come in, or that they were using temporary wedding bands until the jewelry store opened back up. They were just happy to be getting married.
The Cottages on the Charleston Harbor are such a great venue for elopements. Not only can you stay in the cottages so everything is in the same place, but the location is perfect. They’re right on the water, so the sunset was stunning! After the ceremony and photos, they were able to have a catered dinner on the screened-in porch of their cottage.
As I was taking photos, Jay said, “You must really love what you do.” I responded, “Oh my gosh, I love it!!” And he said, “I can tell!” That’s one of the biggest compliments, when my couples can tell what a joy it is for me to be with them on their wedding day. It really is an honor for me. I’ve never taken it for granted that I get to photograph couples on their wedding day, but now more than ever I know how fortunate I am to do this for a living!
