When two people who have impeccable style and make friends where ever you go, it’s obvious their wedding with be nothing but amazing! Shannon & Derek’s Glam Gibbes Museum of Art wedding was on point in every way. You couldn’t find a more glamorous couple in Charleston that day.
Southern Charm
When we arrived in Charleston we took a bit to explore the cobblestone streets strewn with historic architecture nestled in with ancient oaks who’s long branches hovered over the city like protective arms. It’s a beautiful city that brings me back to movies like Forrest Gump and The Notebook. It’s almost surreal to be in the middle of it all. Right in the heart of Charleston is the Gibbes Art Museum. A stately building filled with beautiful classical works. Their courtyard outback is finely manicured and the perfect location for Shannon & Derek’s party of the year.
Elegance and Glam
Shannon and Derek’s taste didn’t stop at their choice of city & venue. Oh no, they hired the best team possible to create an atmosphere of glamor and elegance at Gibbes. Every beautiful detail was perfectly in place. And let’s not forget about fashion. Oh, this was the part I was looking forward to the most. Shannon & Derek’s style is hard to contend with. I was just as excited to see Derek’s outfit as I was to see Shannon’s gown! Neither disappointed when they came out in their black and white duds.
The Event of the Year
As the ceremony drew near, people found their seats…until there weren’t any left. This event had standing room only! It was clear to see how well loved these two were with almost every guest on their list attending. So as the ceremony closed and the party ensued, it was no surprise to see the dance floor packed all night long!
Shannon & Derek live their lives to the fullest and their wedding was the perfect example of that ideal. Thank you for choosing us to capture it for you! We loved every moment!
