Coastal Grandmother Inspired Destination Wedding in Beaufort, South Carolina

As a destination wedding photographer, I had the honor of capturing Hope and Sam’s beautiful destination wedding in Beaufort, South Carolina. Originally from Knoxville, Tennessee, this sweet couple chose to celebrate their love in the charming Lowcountry, making it a magical destination for their special day.

Dream Wedding Ceremony at Agape Oaks

The couple’s ceremony took place at the breathtaking Agape Oaks (@agapeoaksweddings), a hidden gem in the heart of Beaufort, SC. The venue, with its Southern elegance and ancient oak trees, made the perfect backdrop for their destination wedding photos. As a photographer, there’s nothing better than capturing these intimate moments in such a picturesque setting.

Live Music and Perfect Planning

The ceremony came alive with music from Equinox Orchestra (@equinoxorchestra), setting a heartfelt tone as Hope and Sam exchanged vows. Later, Sam Hill Entertainment (@samhillentertainment) kept the reception alive with upbeat tunes that had everyone dancing late into the night. Every detail of this destination wedding was thoughtfully executed by the talented Sparkles Events, Decor, and Design (@sparkles_eventsdecoranddesign), who not only planned the event but also designed the stunning floral arrangements.

Knoxville Bride’s Gorgeous Look

Hope looked stunning in her gown from Lillian Ruth Bride (@lillianruthbride), a Knoxville-based bridal boutique that has an incredible collection for brides planning their Tennessee wedding or destination event. Her glowing look was perfected by Silhouette On Site (@silhouetteonsite) for hair and makeup, while her jewelry from Rick Terry Jewelry Designs (@rickterryjewelrydesigns) in Knoxville added a sophisticated sparkle to her bridal attire.

A Celebration to Remember

The reception was truly a highlight for this destination wedding in South Carolina. Jimmy Fitts Catering (@jimmyfittscatering) served up delicious Southern cuisine, while Two Pour Girls Bartending (@twopourgirls_bartending) created signature cocktails that delighted the guests. No wedding would be complete without a show-stopping cake, and Meg’s Sweet Treats (@megssweettreats843) delivered just that with a beautifully crafted and delicious wedding cake.

From the rentals provided by Amazing Event Rentals (@amazingeventrentals) to the floral arrangements by Sparkles Events, Decor, and Design, every detail of this South Carolina destination wedding was thoughtfully curated to create a magical experience. As a wedding photographer who loves capturing natural moments, Hope and Sam’s celebration was filled with emotion, laughter, and love that made every photo special.
