The Russ Wedding | Cannon Green, Charleston, SC

 

What an absolute honor it is to be asked to be a part of one of the most memorable and special days in someone’s life.  And I’m especially grateful to be asked by clients that have become family over the years.  I’ve worked alongside Adrienne and Kevin for a few years now and each session was better than the one before.  So when Adrienne reached out to me regarding her upcoming wedding in scenic Charleston, SC I was elated that she would consider me for the job.  My niche in wedding photography is so small (dealing in intimate weddings and elopements only) that I don’t get too many opportunities to shoot them.  And sometimes with the pressure that comes along with being a wedding photographer that’s for the best.  But when the day turns out to be as perfect as Adrienne and Kevin’s was it makes me wish I did this more often.

 

 

I love the city of Charleston and shooting at Cannon Green was a pure dream come true.  The wedding day began that afternoon as the bride, her daughter and matron of honor prepped at The Grand Bohemian Hotel.  From there it was time to head to Cannon Green for the ceremony and reception.   Just as night began to set in the twinkling lights of the ceremony site lit up and cast a beautiful glow around the guests and wedding party.  Adrienne was a pure vision in her NY Bride & Groom gown and Kevin was ever so dapper in his tux.

 

 

 

 

 

After their vows were exchanged things moved indoors for the cocktail hour and family portraits and finally finishing off that portion of the evening with one large group photo before the reception kicked off.  The reception decor was stunning thanks to Chancey Charm, the food was delicious and the guests were ready to party late into the night.  The magical night finally ended with a beautiful sendoff as well wishers took home mini bottles of champagne and the bride and groom went off to begin their honeymoon.  I can’t say enough how grateful I am to have been a part of this moment in Kevin, Adrienne and their children’s lives.  I hope they look back on this day fondly for many years to come and I wish them a lifetime of love and happiness!
