A spectacular day is how this wedding day began for my clients now (Friends) Lindsay & Bjorn at this stunning venue of Wild Dunes Resort. Lindsay brought me on as part of the team, along with Donavan who handled the video. I had the pleasure of photographing her bridal fitting, engagement, bridal portrait session, and wedding day of course and the pictures speak for themselves. My passion to capture great moments, as I know the couple great looks, was easy on the camera, and they happened to be very nice people as well, the bride wore a dress custom designed by Jodi from White on Daniel Island, the theme was Magenta and Hydrangea Green, the ceremony took place on the lawn, shortly after the guest enjoyed Cocktails and reception by the pool, then the amazing Samantha Hazzard and the great staff of Wild Dunes offered station catering, while listening one of Charleston best band by Plane Jane, and everyone had a great time.
Here in Lindsay words are how it became this day:
Bjorn and I met in September 2008 after we both started working at Trident Emergency department. He had just moved from Philadelphia and I had just moved from Ohio. After 5 months of working together, we decided to go on a date. We went to Mercato for dinner and had a great time. One date turned into several and it did not take me long to realize that this guy was different than the rest. In August 2010 Bjorn proposed to me on Sullivan’s Island. I can honestly say I have never been so surprised in my entire life, and I will remember that feeling for the rest of my life. Although Bjorn and I are both from the North, we felt Charleston would be the perfect place to get married since this was our new home and the place where we met. Knowing that Charleston is such a hot spot for weddings, we immediately started looking at sites. We decided on Wild Dunes because we loved the idea of being near the beach when we said: I do.” The setting is so beautiful and the wedding coordinator, Samantha Martin, could not be more accomodating. It seemed like the perfect choice, and it was!
On November 12, 2011, Bjorn and I were married on the lawn at Wild Dunes and the reception was at the Grand Pavilion. The weather could not have been better and the sunset was absolutely gorgeous! We could not have asked for a better day to share with all of our closest family and friends.
I was also so happy and honored to have Michel there as our photographer to capture all the moments that we do not want to forget! Even before our wedding day, he offered us two engagement sessions and my bridal portrait. Not only was he punctual, but he was also flexible. Two of our sessions had to be rescheduled due to inclimate weather, and he was more than willing to accomodate us at another time despite his busy schedule. He edited and posted our pictures in a timely fashion and they were fabulous! From one bride to the next, you truly will not regret hiring Michel to capture your special day!
