If this isn’t validation, I don’t know what is 🥹. This client review truly means so much for us! It was a beautiful experience working with .p.myers and to make their destination wedding in Charleston, SC a top class experience from beginning to end.

Pretty at sunset pretty at dark. We get asked every year a handful of times for a neutral palette, but then there was something about how these white, greens, copper and caramel tones came together that truly gave us goosebumps! This was a fave for sure!

We always create a pre-ceremony schedule that does not feel rushed and that gives our couples time to get ready without stress and be able to enjoy a moment with each other and their closest family and friends before all the big public moments begin. These images from S+S’ day a month ago remind me of how good I feel about protecting this time for my couples 🥰
