Laura & James’s William Aiken House Wedding | Charleston SC
Im so happy to share the elegant and joyful William Aiken House wedding of Laura & James! It was so hard to narrow down which pictures to show on the blog because there were so many emotional and happy moments but also lots of gorgeous details! These two high school sweethearts (um YES) are still so sweet on each other after all this time! I first fell in love with Laura & James last year at their engagement session where they couldn’t stop laughing and cuddling each other, so I knew the wedding day was going to provide some golden photos. Plus, Laura loves bread as much as I do, and if thats not something to bond over, I dont know what is!
They said their vows to each other under a tree at the William Aiken House surrounded by their closest family and friends. During the ceremony they watered a potted plant and they passed the wedding bands around for each and every guest to touch and give a blessing – the ring pillow was made from Laura’s mothers wedding gown for that extra special touch. They had a lot of personal touches to their day. Laura had a blue heart sewn into her dress from one of her grandmothers purses, their table numbers were framed notes from each other through out the years, they included all of their nieces and nephews in the bridal party, Laura gifted her nieces custom hankies and James gifted his nephews with little super hero pins to wear, and at the end of the night they changed into African themed Nike sneakers for their last song (a tribute to Africa, which is where they’re going for the honeymoon) and their exit!
Before they left though, their amazing videographers showed them a same day edit video and all the guests surrounded them as they watched it and laughed and cried. Photos are important, y’all, but video is too.
