Erica & Mckinley | Charleston, SC Wedding | Christa Rene Photography

Erica is a Charleston girl and came to Greenville, SC for college where she met Mckinley while working together at the equipment room in our high school! Before too long, they were dating, and literally the cutest, preppiest couple ever. Like serious goals! But they are also so, so kind and loving, and I was thrilled when they were engaged and Erica asked me to be her wedding photographer!

She’s a Jack Rogers & Lilly Pulitzer loving Charleston girl, so of course we were a match made!! She had her girls wear different blue dresses that were so fun, and the guys looked super sharp in their bowties! Erica just glowed in her gorgeous gown and was such a beautiful bride! We did their photos in Battery Park since Charleston has such a special place in their heart, so what better place to capture authentic Charleston??

But these two have such a calm, loving spirit about them. They smiled through the entire day, but if you know these two, you know that’s how they always are. They have a calm, positive spirit about them that makes you feel like their best friend right away! It was so clear how much their family and friends love them through their wedding from their support! And I totally see why… these two are an incredible couple and going to do amazing things together as one!
