Story and photos by Justine and Wayne Phillip and Katherine were able to keep their original wedding date and everything went perfect. They got ready at a new hotel downtown, got married at the Cathedral, and had the reception at a revitalized church that has been turned into a vintage/modern venue.

Photos and story by Lisa Gemperline Photography Kylee and James had a wedding date planned then COVID-19 came along and they were married sooner than their wedding day with just their parents, a preacher, and a videographer.  They wanted to have landscape wedding photos once her dress was altered.    She was not married in this dress because her dress had not come in time for the sudden ceremony.  It was one of the most beautiful nights I’ve ever seen on the island and I can’t think of these pictures being taken on any other night so it must have meant to be.

Story and photos by Brandy Angel Photography Madison is a bride that is used to overcoming hard things. She has had two open-heart surgeries since she was born and is undergoing her third this December. When she began planning her dream wedding to her high school sweetheart she had no idea that she would be dealing with a worldwide pandemic, nationwide protests, and CDC guidelines that caused her to cut down her guest list to 40 people and find a new venue just two weeks before her wedding date. Luckily her father’s friend had the perfect place for their wedding and everything came together seamlessly. Mother Nature even delivered the most perfect sunset I’ve seen all year.  It just goes to show that no matter what happens on your wedding day that seems like it could ruin everything if you …
