Once in the church, everyone started getting dressed and curling hair and touching up makeup…..I could tell Rachel looked a little nervous.  Her bridesmaids noticed too, and immediately searched for some calming music on their iphones…Whitney to the rescue!

Luckily the weather wasn’t hot, so we were able to play around outside some, without any makeup going astray!

I loved Rachel and Andrew’s guest book- so cute and made from burlap!! And you may be wondering about the little red gummy fish….all the girls handed Andrew one of these when they walked down the asile- “Good Catch”…get it- haha!

Andrew sang to Rachel during the wedding- oh how sweet….and he can sing! wow!!

Rachel and Andrew’s reception was held at Sans Souci Pavaillion.  Deep blue hydrangias welcomed the guests up into the pavillion. Each table held a unique centerpiece of brick, mason jars, calk boards and hydrangias. It was so cute and I loved the “handmade” feel that everything had to it.

 Since we had Sans Souci’s beautiful grass fields to work with, Rachel, Andrew and the entire wedding party went out for some fun shots of everyone.

Once back in the reception, DJ Howie D stepped up the party! He had all of the guests dancing and singing, and having the best time!  And this crowd could dance!

Congratulations Rachel and Andrew! I have really enjoyed woing with you both and I hope you are having a great Honesymoon in Florida!!!

Thanks to Katheryn’s Father, (who is very handy with a hammer and nail) we were able to hang her dress in the perfect spot on the house.  Maybe I should start bringing a hammer and nails to every wedding with me…sure would help out sometimes when I want to photograph a dress in a certain area!! hmmm…….

Katheryn’s shoes are so cute! She wanted something that would be fairly easy to walk in the sand in…and wedges were much better than heels! And of course, I love all that sparkles!!

I love this shot of Katheryn and her sister running down the stairs….her sister was trying her best to keep up…

Jonathan and his family were in the house right next door, so I headed over to find the guys for a few pre-ceremony shots. Jonathan calmly tied his tie in the mirror, as the family dog looked on from the nearby recliner…..she seemed less than enthused with the happenings in the house. So sweet.

Katheryn and Jonathan were married on the beach in Murrells Inlet, under a beautiful white arbor, as friends, family and pelicans looked on….

Katheryn is a girl after my own heart- detail oriented!! She handed me a star fish that she said she thought would be really cool for a shot with the rings- I agree, it was!!   And, she also agreed to use some of the “details” that I brought along as well.  Thanks guys for being my “test subjects”- haha!

I really couldn’t resist the beautiful blue hues of this pool!!

Guests enjoyed dancing under the stars and the fans of the palm trees in the yard….

According to the news, the moon was the closest it is going to get to the earth, for the next 30 years….and since it was hanging so big and beautiful over the end of the pier, we had to use it. Beautiful!

Congratulations Katheryn and Jonathan! Your wedding was perfect and beautiful! I so enjoyed working with you both and meeting your family and friends! Enjoy that honeymoon is Italy!!!
