Eileen & Luke were married at The Lodge at Table Rock State Park in South Carolina. They decided to have a “first look” prior to the ceremony to allow more time for photos. (It’s also something to keep in mind if you’re planning an evening wedding in October – February, when the light tends to disappear quickly at the end of the day.)

There’s nothing better than a good group hug before a wedding, right?

Keeping a few last minute butterflies at bay…

Moments before the ceremony…

Luke was so, so happy!

Love the hug for his soon-to-be son-in-law.

During the ceremony…

It’s official!

Luke’s grandpa had a scary fall after the ceremony and here his mom & grandma were assuring him that his grandpa would be okay. Love their sweet faces.

Speaking of faces…during the toasts…

…and cake cutting…

When they announced that they were leaving I said, “Wait! Can we take one more picture?” Who can resist that view? Not to mention a perfectly adorable couple bound for Jamaica?!

Departure by bubbles…and possibly some confetti thrown in there, too…

I missed one – the beautiful designs for Bess & Michael’s programs and stationery were designed by Jamie from Bright Orange. I have to say, I love orange, too!

We hope you’re having a great day!
