Bridget & Brad are MARRIED and their wedding couldn't have been any more perfectly fitting for them! They decided to get married in the heart of Downtown Florence among an intimate group of close family & friends!
Bridget was one of the first friends that I met when we moved to South Carolina and I've had so much fun growing a friendship with her! Along the way, I've discovered she has a big love for her community. She found a way to include so many of her friend-owned vendors into their big day, which of course makes all their details incredibly special!
One of Bridget's biggest obsessions (aside from Brad, of course) is plants! She has the greenest thumb out of anybody I know and she found so many creative ways to adorn their wedding day with some of her favorite plants & botanicals. If you've ever been to Victor's at Hotel Florence, you know their entire courtyard is filled with gorgeous foliage! Bridget brought in lots of her own plants from Forest Lake Greenhouse, including fiddle leaf figs, red caladiums and unique centerpieces composed of a mixture of fresh herbs and flowers. Starks did a beautiful job on the bouquet and boutonniere! The couple also chose a delicious Earl Grey Lavender wedding cake that was baked with lots of love by Vanessa with Twisted Roots Vegan Bakery! Brad & Bridget also opted for a fun wedding exit using natural confetti, made of dried fruits and botanicals!
After their sweet ceremony, we snuck off for a few formal photos with the newlyweds while the guests headed inside to enjoy cocktail hour and live music by Emerald Empire!
Once we finished and they were formally introduced as Mr. & Mrs. Hearne, traditional dances and speeches ensued. Both Zach (Best Man/Brad's younger brother) and Denise (Matron of Honor/Bridget's Best Friend) gave their sentiments which were the perfect mix of comical memories, best wishes and words of wisdom. Zach gifted them a 3-cord braid as a reminder to always keep God in the center of their marriage. Denise exercised her authority as a Justice of the Peace and surprised Brad with a plaque recognizing the newly established holiday, Brad's Day, as requested by their son, Finley!
Brad & Bridget, thank you SO much for trusting me with capturing your perfect wedding day! I'm SO incredibly happy that you both have found each other and it's evident how well you compliment one another! You both are such awesome individuals and make a beautiful couple! I can't wait to see what the future holds for you all, Finley included! <3
