    There’s something undeniably magical about a sun There’s something undeniably magical about a sunset wedding at Lowndes Grove. ✨ With its historic charm and Ashley River views, this Charleston wedding venue offers a timeless backdrop that’s every bit as romantic as it is elegant.

From golden-hour ceremonies on the riverfront lawn to dreamy portraits on the private dock, this venue delivers unforgettable moments (and incredible light!) every single time. 🌅💍

Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, Lowndes Grove transforms beautifully to fit your vision — and I’ve had the joy of capturing it all.

Choosing the right wedding venue is personal. So trust how a place makes you feel when you step into it. Can you see yourself saying “I do” there? Does it align with your story?

I’ve photographed countless weddings across Charleston, but Lowndes Grove always has my heart. If this feels like your kind of place, I’d love to document your day — not just how it looked, but how it felt. 💛
