Megan & Jordan’s Magnolia Plantation Wedding in Charleston
Megan and Jordan have a whole crew of friends who would rather spend a weekend at a music festival than almost anywhere else, so when it came time to plan their wedding, they brought that exact energy with them, and it showed in every single photo. This was a group that came ready to celebrate, and it made for one of the more joyful, unpolished weddings I have had the pleasure of shooting.
Festival Vibes on the Dance Floor
The second the first song played, family and friends flooded the dance floor and stayed there well into the night. There was nothing precious or reserved about this crowd, just genuinely good people who love these two and were not afraid to show it. If you want a preview of what your own reception could feel like, this is it.
A Trolley Ride Through Historic Charleston
Before the reception, we all piled onto a Lowcountry Trolley for a ride through downtown, historic Charleston, stopping along the way for couples’ portraits and a few group shots with the wedding party. Megan and Jordan said their vows at Magnolia Plantation, one of the most romantic backdrops the Lowcountry has to offer, with moss-draped oaks and old Southern charm at every turn.
Why Charleston Feels Made for a Southern Wedding
Charleston, SC is a city that wears its history well: brightly painted row houses, an incredible food scene, and a slower pace that makes you want to stay a few extra days. If your guests have never been, send them a few days early. Between the beach towns lining the coast and the historic walking tours downtown, there really is something for everyone.
Telling love stories has been my whole career for the past decade, and weddings like Megan and Jordan’s, loud, joyful, and a little unpolished in the best way, are exactly why I still love this work. If a Charleston wedding full of your people and a little Lowcountry charm sounds like you, I would love to hear from you.
If your crowd is the kind that closes down a dance floor, we will get along. More about my wedding photography.
