Virgil Bunao Photography {Leanna}
If you're in the mood for some loveliness that just won't quit, then I'm quite certain this little Virgil Bunao number will do just the trick. The effortless fashion shoot took place downtown at the historic Thomas Bennett House where the crew at Out of Hand created some amazing headpieces to top off gorgeous Leanna's chic looks. Lauren Moser was on hand to handle hair and make up, and I must say I would love to have her talents included in my morning routine. All and all, we can't get enough of this all-star cast!

Sewee Preserve {Charleston Wedding Venue}
Ladies, we’ve got another new, Lowcountry venue on our hands, so let's get started gawking over it's coastal charm! The Sewee Preserve opened its doors this year and is already booking weddings for 2012 and beyond. Located just outside of Charleston, in Awendaw, South Carolina, this breathtaking wedding venue consists of a 500-acre conservation development dedicated to preserving the serenity and natural beauty of our beloved Lowcountry…so you know what that means, gorgeous saltwater marshes, jaw-dropping Oak trees and that soft, coastal breeze that we've come to love at a Charleston wedding.
The property offers an array of ceremony and receptions options that will be available to you from 10am until midnight on the day of your event. It includes 1,000 square feet of covered area, an over-sized brick fireplace, Southern-style porches, bocce ball court and horseshoe pit and a 50-acre freshwater lake with dock. Sounds like heaven, right? Well lucky for us, Virgil Bunao Photography and Ooh! Events teamed up to show us what the Sewee Preserve's all about (and Lord knows we love when these two talents collaborate!) So, check out this fabulous, new Charleston wedding venue…

Kristen + Taylor {South Carolina Weddings} Virgil Bunao
I know this is a totally biased comment, but I just can't help but love beautiful South Carolina weddings. Lowcountry brides always do a swoon-worthy job of tying together their appreciation of friends and family with their timeless style and ability to have a good time. Their weddings always make for a memorable Southern affair...and Kristen + Taylor's classic Providence, South Carolina bash was no different! Photographed by the one-and-only, Virgil Bunao, the couple treated guests to a gorgeous tented reception with an open bar, an amazing spread from Creative Catering and lively tunes from DJ Master G that kept the party going til the wee hours of the morning!
