A trip to Charleston can only be made sweeter when I get to be a Charleston wedding photographer. When a friend of mine told me about the Revolution Wedding Tour, I could not WAIT to be a part of it. The Revolution Wedding Tour is an amazing new bridal show that gives couples the experience of seeing different venues styled like they would be for a real wedding. Not only that, but they are taken to each venue by bus!
I was lucky enough to be able to photograph a beautiful model at one of my new favorite venues of all time, the Governor Thomas Bennett House. Each venue on the tour is given a theme and a style board to work off of and our theme was “Floral Revolution”. I was in love with every element that was included in this style, from the gorgeous table setting to the most beautiful couture gown I’ve ever seen. It was clear that the designer, Emily Kotarski, puts a LOT of time and effort into all of her pieces like the hand painted bridal skirt and the hand-sewn cape that gave the dress that wow factor.
Just like a real wedding day, not everything ran as smoothly as planned when the model that was hired to be the “groom” apparently got cold feet! Though, hopefully this doesn’t happen on a real wedding day. Luckily, I have Kellie to thank for thinking quickly on her feet and grabbing Peter, the violinist from Charleston Virtuosi, for about 5 minutes to get some couples photos! It couldn’t have worked out any better.
We absolutely LOVE any chance we get to photograph couples and weddings in the Charleston area. If you or anyone you know is thinking of getting married there, we would love to be included! In fact, we don’t currently have ANY travel fees because we’ve decided that we want to travel more often. We hope you enjoy these photos! They’re some of my favorite to date 🙂
