Ahh my weekend fetetastic dose of matrimonial this is every photographer dream, a amazing couple and a beautiful ceremony downtown Charleston, then off to the one of a kind venue and settings on the marsh of Magnolia Plantation & Garden with the very talented Jessica Cruz.
Tonia had spoken to many photographer and that this wedding required not just a regular Charleston wedding photographer but a artiste, a business man, a historian, one that had more then just the passion for the art. Say no more I replied, the minute I got off the phone with her, Trevis & Tonia where in my studio signing a contract.
Here are in Tonia words are how the couple became one: February 6, 2005 is the day Trevis and I first laid eyes on one another while at a social gathering in downtown Charleston. Ever since it has been a whirling romance that has encapsulated cherished memories and proved that true love oversees all. We both enjoy spending quality time with family and friends, partaking in Charleston’s endless dining experiences, and mostly importantly snuggling at home. Although our lengthy relationship, nearly six years, I was still flabbergasted when Trevis popped the BIG QUESTION on Christmas Eve 2010. The proposal was very intimate, which was in the comfort of our home. My first phone call was to my parents, whom to my surprise already knew about the upcoming engagement and happily gave Trevis their blessings.
I thought for sure the wedding plan would be hectic with our schedule, Trevis, a residential contractor and myself an oncology nurse at MUSC. But once I decided on a theme, something simple, elegant and timeless, everything fell into place. Magnolias, has always been a favorite of mine so it became a mainstay with our wedding. From our engagement party at Magnolia’s restaurant off East Bay, to our save the date- scented Magnolia sachets, and our reception at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. Our relationship and now our marriage, is summed up in our First Dance song, “At Last” by Etta James!!!!
Thank you all of the great vendors for making this a great wedding….!
Tonia & Trevis, I hope and pray that I have captured your special day, behind my cameras & lenses and most importantly with my eyes and heart the way you want it to be remembered.? Blessings and enjoy….!
