A Beautiful Warm Winter Wedding in the Low Country at Agapae Oaks, Beaufort SC
Jackie and Mike were collegiate athlete sweethearts at Samford University. After moving to South Carolina for Jackie’s dream veterinarian career, they made the Lowcountry their home.
They choose Agapae Oaks, a family-owned marsh-front 150-acre property outside of Beaufort South Carolina for their dream wedding.
Just days after the New Year rang in, on a 70-degree winter day surrounded by family, faith, and two puppies of honor, they exchanged vows under historic Oak trees surrounded by aged pecan orchards and freshwater ponds.
After a blissful wedding ceremony, we utilized the massive property for stunning outdoor photography options overlooking the inter-coastal waterways, and under a beautiful canopy of Spanish moss trees that lined the entrance. The night ended with soul food, countless rowdy toasts, dancing, and a grand sparkler exit.
