When Grandma’s house is the perfect wedding venue!
I thought moving away from the East Coast meant I wouldn’t have to worry about photographing weddings during hurricane season anymore… but apparently, a hurricane didn’t get that memo! 😂 With a hurricane moving up the coast, rain was threatening Charlotte and Connor’s entirely outdoor wedding day.
Thankfully, we only got a few light sprinkles, and their friends and family were more than willing to weather the storm with them. Between jackets, umbrellas, and even a few napkins on heads, we managed to keep everyone relatively dry!
And honestly, the rain was just a small part of what made this day so special. Charlotte and Connor’s wedding was filled with so many meaningful touches, from Charlotte wearing her aunt’s wedding dress to taking photos in the same mirror her mom stood in while getting ready for her own wedding.
Now, Charlotte and Connor have beautiful memories of their own tied to this place, too. From their friends cheering them on as they showed off their rings to dancing the night away in the backyard under the string lights, surrounded by their favorite people, it was the sweetest reminder that a wedding doesn’t have to be perfect to be unforgettable.
Sometimes, the most meaningful venue isn’t a fancy ballroom or a stunning estate. It’s a place filled with history, love, and memories—and now, a few more of their own. ✨
