For the couple dreaming of a unique elopement along the Charleston Harbor, this shoot will inspire you to sail into the sunset as you say “I do”. Imagine bobbing through the city’s marshes soaking in the sunshine, and exchanging vows on the ship’s bow. Lush greenery, local grasses, and luxe blooms made a beautiful “nest” for the bride and groom to wed amongst. Loose florals in creams, whites, blushes, and beiges, along with vining greenery trailing up the mast, gave the illusion of a romantic, wildly growing garden.




The Sheppard House by Stay Duvet offers an intimate and charming celebratory reception space. A brick fireplace and delicate tablescape with patterned linens and napkins, wood chargers, and candlesticks added texture and warmth to the setting. The newlyweds cut the cake and toasted to many more adventures.
