Virginia and Jack are married!! Classy, heartfelt, and joyful are some of the words that come to mind when I think back on those memories. Southern hospitality and elegance at its finest!

Whenever you have a wedding day where plenty of rain was in the forecast and God gifts you with beautiful sunshine, it makes for an extra special day! The wind was a little bit crazy, but the sunshine was a constant reminder of the “But it’s not raining!” gift we had! Virginia, Jack, and their bridal party handled the crazy winds with such grace and patience. When the momentary break in the wind came, they were ready to conquer their pose!

The wedding day was actually the first time we met Virginia and Jack in person, but oh! Did they win our hearts so quickly! These two shine so brightly with their warm hearts! Their families welcomed us with open arms from the first moment we walked in, and it wasn’t long before we felt like we’d been friends for years.

One of my favorite things about the entire day was watching Virginia and Jack’s faces as they looked at each other. They shared so much expression and genuine joy with each other. There were moments where I saw them get lost in their own little world, caught up in each others’ eyes, and it was one of the best things. That brings me so much joy!

Favorite Wedding Day Details

Doughnuts. You know we have a weakness for fun treats, and the doughnut table definitely fit the bill! Lola’s Florist also created a floral wreath for the chandelier above the cake table that looked amazing! The extra splash of florals on the ceiling really made an impact.

But even better than the doughnuts were all the first looks Virginia shared with some of the important people in her life! The reveals were a special part of the day to Virginia, and it was 100% worth the few minutes to make it happen! We started with the bridesmaids’ reveal, which was super cute. Virginia then shared a first look with her dad before seeing Jack for the first time. Ahh, such sweet first look memories! She then shared a reveal with her brother, which was also so special! Every one of them was just perfect.

There are a lot of great memories to share with you, so I’ll stop swooning and let you start peeking.

Here’s a glimpse into Virginia & Jack’s wedding day at Florence United Methodist Church and Turtle Point Yacht and Country Club!

Virginia & Jack – what an absolute honor it was to experience this day by your sides! You bring so much joy and sunshine to this world. We treasure our memories together! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to capture such a sweet and joyful day. We wish you guys the very best!
