Darden and Elliott’s Carolina Country Club wedding was beautifully classic!  Darden carries herself with such grace and beauty and her and Elliott are the perfect match.

When we first were discussing the timeline they both really didn’t want to do a first look.  Elliott REALLY didn’t want to do one but in the end with timing and all they decided to and do not regret the decision one bit.  I know for my own wedding it’s something I will forever cherish with my husband.  I mean just look at these images from the talented Nancy Ray capturing the moment.

It’s always so fun to also be able to be two friends wedding planners, we love when that happens.  Not only getting to work with our couples for their big day’s but also seeing them have fun at each other’s too.

The grounds and reception space at the Carolina Inn are just so beautiful, like out of a Disney movie as you could say!

Elliott carried on the Southern tradition folklore of burying in bourbon upside down 1 month prior to the wedding for good weather on your wedding day.  Then after the ceremony you dig it up and share with your guests which they did on that beautiful day.

It was such a pleasure getting to work with these too!
