Well you send my life a whirling
Darling when you're twirling
On the floor
And who cares about tomorrow?
Girl, what more is tomorrow?
Than another day.
When you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away
-'Swept Away' by The Avett Brothers
The new year is all about starting something new and what a perfect time to have a wedding! Lydia and Baird are an amazing couple, so in love, and so happy to get married. On their January wedding day, they were surrounded by amazing family and friends, all celebrating their love and the new year. It was such an incredible day!
After spending the morning with friends and family, the couple saw each other for the first time as a bride and groom at the Old Pitt Street Bridge in Mt. Pleasant. Baird's reaction to his beautiful bride was priceless and all he could do was hug his beautiful lady. The couple and their handsome wedding party gathered for photos in the gardens of the always beautiful St. Luke's Chapel in downtown Charleston. After their ceremony in the chapel, the entire celebration moved to the brand new No.5 Faber for dinner and dancing and memories. The Charleston Wedding Band kept everyone on their feet all night until the couple departed on the cobblestones under a shower of lavender petals. The entire day was a wonderful celebration for an amazing couple. I am so happy I was able to be a part of their special day! Congrats Lydia & Baird!
Special thanks to my second photographer Adam Chandler and assistant Kelsey Miller for all of their hard work!
