Getting Ready at The Airbnb

We started our day at the Airbnb nearby the Blockade Runner. Thankfully they hired a second photographer to grab photos on the groom side. We walked in with the bride sitting on the chair, getting her hair and make up done. She allowed my second and I to photograph a few candid shots before my Fia(second photographer) to the groomsmen.

While she did that, I started on her details. Nothing lasts, so having photos of them preserves the crisp paper and design, and the brand new wedding bands.

Notes:

We did her bridal portraits at the Carolina Yacht Club

She rented a trolley to transport the bridal party to the Club

First look, Bridal, and Family Portraits

The couple wanted to get these out of the way so that after the ceremony, they can let loose and have fun! One thing thats great about the first look is that we can get a few photos of the bride and the groom. We were on time so we also got the bridal photos out of the way. The family portraits followed. All of it was done on the deck of Carolina Yacht Club.

Notes: The light was a bit harsh so we used the shadow casting from the palm trees behind them.

We then used the trolley again to The Little Chapel on the Boardwalk

Ceremony

The trolley dropped the bride and her bridesmaids as well as the groom and his men off from the Carolina Yacht Club. The guests then poured in through the doors while they waited in the library and the upstairs room. I lowered my camera because everyone looked very tired from getting up at 6AM. So we just shared stories and just connected a little bit with them.

Inside the ceremony, the pastor and event coordinator had asked me not use flash or walk around the ceremony because it was too distracting. So I sat down the entire time and when they were ready, I had got up and got photos of them walking down the aisle.
