destination wedding • september 2025
There’s a quiet kind of luxury in intimate celebrations - the kinds that feel more like a dinner party with your loved ones. Ariane and Kevin’s 60-guest wedding at The Parsonage at St. Johannes in Charleston embodied that spirit beautifully. Set within one of the city’s most charming historic spaces, their day blended Southern elegance with vintage character - complete with thrifted silverware, intentionally-sourced planters and vases, and personal touches that made every corner feel lived-in and loved. The Parsonage’s wraparound balconies and courtyard, lined with lush greenery and traced by cobblestone streets, created the kind of gorgeously romantic backdrop that felt like stepping into a Sofia Coppola film.
Captured on both film and digital, their day felt like a series of vignettes - slow, warm, and full of life. Guests lingered over dinner, laughter echoed through the courtyard, and as the night wound down, Ariane and Kevin made their exit in a vintage Rolls-Royce - one final nod to the old-world touches woven throughout their day. I'm obsessed with everything from this day!
