A special note from the photographer:
Jackie and Mike were collegiate athlete sweethearts at Samford University. After moving to South Carolina for Jackie’s dream career to be a veterinarian, they made The Low Country their home.
They chose 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 intracoastal 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.
