With a whirlwind romance that began in the same historic church where they exchanged vows for forever, Ian & Ashley's story could be from a fairytale. 

They wed in Historic St Philip's Church in Charleston, South Carolina and held their reception in the adjacent garden. Every element of their day was rich with meaning and intention, an extension of the couple themselves!

Ashley’s mother selected her gown for her, before losing her long battle with cancer. As Ashley & Ian married on her mother’s birthday, and this dress was both Ashley's “something blue” and an homage to her mother.
