Winter Side Lawn Boone Hall Wedding
Boone Hall never ceases to amaze. Its scenic waterfront views, the iconic avenue of oaks, and the rustic charm of the Cotton Dock provide a timeless backdrop for weddings. Jennifer and Sean’s winter side lawn Boone Hall wedding was no exception. From start to finish, their day was filled with love, laughter, and breathtaking moments. It was an honor to capture every detail of their beautiful celebration.
Getting Ready at Charleston Harbor Resort
The morning began at the Charleston Harbor Resort, where Jennifer and her bridal party were getting ready. The energy in the room was electric. Jennifer’s lace bodice flowed seamlessly into a pale peach chiffon skirt, creating a bridal ensemble that was nothing short of perfection. Her flower crown added a whimsical touch, framing her radiant smile.
A few floors down, Sean and his groomsmen enjoyed the crisp Charleston morning air on the docks. Dressed in dark grey-blue three-piece suits, they shared laughs and last-minute advice. Sean, as always, had a twinkle in his eye. His excitement to see Jennifer was evident in every word he spoke. The anticipation built as they prepared for their first look.
A Sweet First Look on the Dock
The first look is one of my favorite moments to photograph, and Jennifer and Sean’s was no exception. Sean waited with nervous excitement. When Jennifer tapped him on the shoulder, his reaction was priceless—a mixture of awe and pure joy. They held each other close, sharing whispered words they could only hear. It was a moment filled with love, and the beauty of Boone Hall made it all the more magical.
These two are simply made for each other. The way Sean looks at Jennifer, like she’s the only person in the world, is something every photographer dreams of capturing. Their connection is undeniable, and their laughter is contagious.
A Winter Side Lawn Boone Hall Wedding Ceremony
The winter side lawn Boone Hall wedding ceremony occurred beside the iconic avenue of oaks. Guests gathered under the sweeping branches, surrounded by Spanish moss swaying in the breeze. It was a quintessential Lowcountry setting. As the music began to play, the ring bearer made his way down the aisle, stealing the show in his suspenders and cap.
When Jennifer appeared, the entire crowd gasped. She looked like a true Southern beauty, glowing as she made her way toward Sean. His eyes filled with tears as he watched her approach. The ceremony was heartfelt and personal, with vows that brought laughter and a few tears to everyone present. Their love story, which began with a chance meeting at a work event, had come full circle in the most beautiful way.
Newlywed Portraits with Southern Charm
Before diving into the festivities, I stole Jennifer and Sean away for some intimate newlywed portraits. Boone Hall offers endless opportunities for stunning photos, and we took full advantage of them. The live oaks, the warm afternoon light, and the couple’s natural chemistry created pure magic.
Jennifer’s flowy dress caught the breeze perfectly, and Sean couldn’t keep his eyes off her. Every glance, every touch, and every laugh was genuine. It was like the world had melted away, leaving just the two of them. Moments like these remind me why I love being a wedding photographer. Capturing their love felt like such a privilege.

The celebration continued at the Cotton Dock, one of Boone Hall’s most charming features. The space felt warm and inviting with its aged wooden beams and waterfront views. Jennifer and Sean let the venue’s natural beauty shine, adding simple yet elegant touches of gold and red throughout the decor. Personalized Mason jar glasses added a fun and personal touch, and string lights cast a soft, romantic glow over the space.
Guests enjoyed delicious cocktails as they mingled and shared stories about the happy couple. Sean’s hockey buddies brought their playful energy, while Jennifer’s friends and family added plenty of Texas charm. The dance floor was packed from the first song to the last, with everyone—from little kids to grandparents—joining in on the fun.
The highlight of the night was Jennifer and Sean’s first dance. The way they moved together was effortless, like they’d been dancing their entire lives. It was clear to everyone in the room how much they adore each other. Laughter filled the air, and love surrounded them in every direction.
A Love Story Worth Celebrating
Jennifer and Sean’s journey to this day is one for the books. They met while working for the same recruiting firm, with Jennifer in Houston and Sean in Charlotte. A chance encounter during a business trip to Florida was something neither of them could have imagined. After a bold introduction by Jennifer—who told Sean he was the hottest guy in the bar—they quickly discovered a connection they couldn’t ignore.
Their long-distance relationship wasn’t easy, but their love proved stronger than the miles between them. Jennifer eventually moved to Charlotte to be with Sean, a leap of faith inspired by her mom’s wise words: “Follow your heart, or you’ll always wonder what could have been.”
Two years later, Sean proposed during a romantic weekend at The Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC. Despite Jennifer’s initial frustration over missed plans, Sean surprised her with a private terrace, champagne, and a heartfelt proposal. Jennifer’s reaction—shocked disbelief followed by an enthusiastic “Yes!”—was the perfect end to a weekend filled with love and surprises.
