Citadel Wedding at the Summerall Chapel by Catherine Ann Photography

If you're in the market for a natural light photographer, then you're about to fall head-over-heels in love with recent Charleston-transplant, Catherine Ann Photography, and I'm about to prove it to you with this gorgeous Citadel wedding!  For any of you ladies with ties to the Citadel, I'm certain you'll be obsessing over the shots from inside the barracks and at the Summerall Chapel...cause I sure am!

From Catherine Ann Photography: "The Summerall Chapel at The Citadel has really sentimental value for Kyle and Macie. Kyle has spent the past 4 years at the Citadel and they have fallen in love with the campus and atmosphere! Before getting dressed for the day, Macie & Kyle met up for half an hour with their pastor to pray with each other and take communion. They had a short reception and spent a lot of time mingling with their guests and spending time with friends and family who traveled from other states to be with them. Macie's favorite flower is the sunflower which was incorporated in the decor as well as the bouquets for the girls. They had a really fun and colorful candy bar set up for guests to take home as favors. Once the reception was over, Macie & Kyle romped around The Citadel and downtown Charleston for 2 hours to take photos!"

Citadel + Hampton Park Wedding Engagement from The Click Chick Photography

We love us a good Hampton Park wedding engagement session, especially when it includes one of our favorite photographers and a Citadel love story to go with it!  Latasha + Jamel began a friendship while in school at the Citadel which eventually developed into a beautiful relationship.  When scheming with the lovely Mackenzie of The Click Chick Photography, the duo knew a trip to their old stomping grounds was definitely in order...and we're sure glad they did!  The shots of the happy couple in their Letterman's jacket are nothing short of adorable.  Afterwards, the duo continued their sweet afternoon with a tour of Hampton Park and a handful of pastel balloons before heading Downtown to spend sometime South of Broad!

 Fia Forever Photography just won't quit!  Their beautiful photography just leaves us wanting more everytime.  But that's just how we like it :)  They recently teamed up with a crew of talented Charleston wedding vendors to bring to life Linsey + Mark's gorgeous Citadel Beach House wedding.  The couple said 'I do' in one heck of a oceanside ceremony where guests were able to put their toes in the sand.  After, the newlyweds joined the crowd for a lively evening on the Isle of Palms.  Their guests enjoyed Lowcountry cuisine from Crazy Dutchman Catering and treats from WildFlour Bakery!  Need a little more Fia Forever in your life?  Well, check out some of their past work in Amie + Jeff's Beaufort wedding and Lynsey +Steve's McCrady's Wedding!

South Carolina Aquarium {Joanne + Seth}

Hopefully, you caught Joanne's timeless bridal session this morning and have been anxiously anticipating her gorgeous South Carolina Aquarium wedding ever since!  The couple married this past October and incorporated a few of my favorite Charleston wedding venues into their big ol' Lowcountry affair!  Joanne + Seth + crew prepped for the evening at the charming Meeting Street Inn before heading over to the parade deck at the Citadel to catch a few shots.  They then said 'I do' in a romantic evening ceremony at the Summerall Chapel.  The celebration continued at the South Carolina Aquarium where guests enjoyed Lowcountry cuisine from Hamby Catering & Events!

Charleston Wedding {Cameron + Janie}

We’re wrapping up this week with a classic Charleston wedding from Carmen Ash Photography, and if I had to guess, you’ll be daydreaming about these Lowcountry details for the rest of the weekend!    Janie + Cameron met while their dads were coaches for the Chicago Bears.  As the couple’s friendship grew, so did their football family!  Janie’s brother coaches for the Carolina Panthers, Cameron’s dad coached for the Colts, his brother coaches for Standford and his uncle is Norv Turner, the head coach for the San Diego Chargers (hence they didn’t get married during football season!)  Personally, I can’t get over Bride Janie’s beautiful strapless, lace gown, birdcage veil, flawless hair and the perfect pink lips!  She’s just glowing.  Her bridesmaids looked equally stunning in peacock blue dresses from J. Crew that were accessorized with gorgeous green and white bouquets from Branch Design Studio.  The guys looked handsome in tan suits with green ties…perfect for a summer wedding in Charleston.  Since the groom had previously worked at the Citadel, the couple tied the knot in front of a packed house on campus at the beautiful Summerall Chapel.  After, they snapped some seriously frame-able shots on the parade deck and in the barracks (must-haves if you get married at the Citadel!).  The couple and their guests headed to Magnolia Plantation and Gardens for one heck of a celebration from a group of fabulous Charleston wedding vendors!  Guests dined on Lowcountry cuisine from Granville’s Catering, Branch Design Studio set the mood with dreamy florals, d’lish served up a jaw-dropping cake and Archer Music Services kept the crowd dancing all evening long, but the BIG hit of the night was the cigar bar! Even grandma loved it!

Francis Marion Wedding {Gina + Brandon}

The Summerall Chapel, on the grounds of the Citadel, is my favorite Charleston church.  Maybe I'm a little biased, (well completely biased because that's where I tied the knot!) but to me, it's the most breathtaking ceremony venue in the Holy City and I always love to share a Summerall Chapel wedding with A Lowcountry Wedding readers!  When you open the doors to the Chapel, the sunlight comes flooding in and it makes everyone go weak in the knees. Every. Single. Time.   Just wait, you'll see:)  Now, on to the adorable couple Gina + Brandon.  Bride Gina started the day with her maids in tow at the Cypress Salon in Summerville, before heading to the Citadel campus where they finished getting ready.  After the ceremony, the newlyweds toured the beach and Charleston peninsula with the talented Philip of Studio 1250 for some gorgeous wedding portraits.  Then, the duo joined their lively friends and family for an evening of dinner and dancing at the beautiful Francis Marion Hotel.
