I'll never forget when my newlywed husband and I visited Charleston together for the first time. We spent some time in Savannah first, then drove to Palmetto Bluff to stay for a few days before exploring the city. It was February in the South, so early morning bike rides were crisp, but by the time we finished breakfast the sun had warmed our handles as we meandered around our cottage and along the coast.

There's something peaceful and romantic about Lowcountry. The water, the Spanish moss, the food--oh, Lord, the food!--all create this perfect setting for new adventures. Or, as we are sharing today, new love with an elopement-inspired shoot.

This elopement shoot combines simplicity with Southern charm. It is an intimate setting, yet still, respects traditional style. And, one of our favorite details, other than this beautiful real couple, is the celebration of color in the details.
