Laura Lee and Justin | St John’s Intimate Charleston Wedding
[dropcap]D[/dropcap]o you believe in serendipity? I 100% believe that serendipitous moments happen when you least expect them. And my chance meeting with Laura Lee and Justin is one of those 2020 moments for me! 6 months before their intimate wedding day at St John Cathedral in Charleston, these two were planning their wedding day to take place in Scotland. As is the theme of this year, their destination wedding to Scotland was unfortunately not going to take place. So Laura Lee and Justin started planning to move it to Charleston SC where they both live. One of Laura Lee’s coworkers followed me on Tik Tok, and suggested that they reach out to me. And boy am I glad she did!
Laura Lee, Justin and I met up this summer with their two dogs George and Gryffin for their engagement session, and immediately it felt like we were old friends. They both had a warmth and calmness about them that made me realize they would be able to handle whatever 2020 threw at them with grace. And y’all, 2020 threw them another curve ball. Their big day in Charleston was also postponed because of Covid. But Laura Lee and Justin decided to get officially married on their original wedding day with their closest friends and family!
Laura Lee, her sister and her mom got ready at the stunning Dewberry Hotel. I learned that postponed weddings are sort of a tradition for Laura Lee and her sister. A few years ago, her sister’s wedding was postponed in Charleston due to a hurricane. So, this was not their first go round with unexpected wedding plans. Laura Lee and Justin exchanged vows in the immaculate St John The Baptist Cathedral in front of their closest family and friends. 2020 had already changed so much, but this moment was theirs!! And I am so excited that I got to witness their intimate Charleston wedding!!
Laura Lee and Justin, I know that Charleston was the plan!! But I must say, it served as one heck of a back up! And I can not wait to get to do it all over again with y’all in a year!! I love you both!
