My FIRST wedding post of 2021…and it’s unique for a very special reason. Zach and Kelsey are an INCREDIBLE couple. I met them for the first time on their wedding day (which is not typical for my weddings!) but they immediately radiated joy. The way that they love each other is SO sweet…and their wedding day was an absolute dream from start to finish. But, the coolest part? It was all a GIVEAWAY!!! The amazing wedding planners at Intrigue Weddings but together a micro wedding giveaway late last year. They wanted to donate a very special wedding day to a couple that was working the frontlines of COVID-19…and Zach and Kelsey BOTH happen to be working in the medical field fighting the pandemic on a daily basis. Every single vendor involved in this day donated their time and services to give back to the community…and I am SO honored that I was able to be a small part of the magic.

After working with Zach and Kelsey, I can confidently say I could not imagine a more deserving or appreciative couple than these two. Their hospitality, kindness, joy and sweet personalities made this day such a fun one to photograph…and I can’t wait for you to see all of the images. And, they’re even going to be featured on the local Charleston news!!! CRAZY!
