It’s certainly not often that we have an international couple to photograph, and because we lived abroad for so many years, we’d be lying if we said it didn’t get us really excited to work with these two London locals! We had had the chance to meet Melania and Nick, who currently live in Europe (aka Heaven on earth!), when they were in town last year, meeting with their wedding planner Francesca from Pure Luxe Bride! We had planned to meet for their engagement session downtown, but had schemed with Nick to have him officially propose during the shoot! We ALWAYS love when this happens and this one was no exception! Now let’s fast forward to their wedding day!! I met Melania at the Francis Marion Hotel downtown so the two of us could ride over to Magnolia Plantation together for some bonding time! 🙂 The whole wedding day was fabulous, but this might have been my favorite part of the day! She’s an open book, like me, so we shared our life stories on the 45 minute ride and by the time we arrived at the plantation, I felt as if we’d been friends for years and it made shooting their special day even that much more special! Aaron met the guys at a mansion on Isle of Palms for their getting ready portraits and then he and Nick rode the 90 minutes together to Magnolia and had the same sort of experience! This sure made up for the fact that we didn’t get to have a meeting with them before their wedding!
