A Pawleys Island Southern Wedding at it’s finest | Caroline and Wilder

If ever two souls were destined for each other, it’s these two – Caroline & Wilder!  Very rarely do you see two people so comfortable with each other that it makes you feel comfortable to just being around them.  Their sweet southern wedding definitely reflected that!  Every detail had that comfortable feeling from the sweet southern comfort food by the ever amazing Carefree Catering, to the very dear family and friends that attended.  It was just perfect!

I remember when I met Caroline and Wilder and her family for the 1st time at a walk through at Caroline’s childhood home, she told me she wasn’t the girl that had dreamed about her wedding day forever.  I thought later that was an interesting statement because this lady knew exactly what she wanted the big day to look like just as though she had been dreaming about it her whole life.  But that’s just who she is, calm and comfortable but confident.  Wilder is her matching puzzle piece.  He compliments everything she is and neither one seems to lead the other – they walk together.

Their wedding day came together beautifully!  The weather was perfect, the details all came together, and even River, their 4mo old Boykin Spaniel pup got to join in on the fun!  I am still just in love with her dress!!  It fit her perfectly and was simply and sweet.  The bridesmaids all got to choose their own dress in the same color scheme.  Each dress fit them perfectly and they were comfortable all day.  The oyster shell place cards were such a great southern touch – because honey, if you’re from the south, who doesn’t love oysters?!  And talk about a cool Engagement Ring – it is over 100 years old!  Nothin’ could be finer down in Carolina!

A big thank you to Mother-of-the-Bride Lori who helped Caroline pull off a southern wedding of her dreams.

Thanks again Caroline and Wilder for choosing me to help record this epic event!  I wish you two a lifetime of happiness!
