A Timeless Carolina Manor House Wedding | Meghan & Dante

Meghan and Dante had a timelessThere’s something so effortlessly elegant about weddings at The Carolina Manor House — the white columns, the sweeping porches, and the way the afternoon light filters through the trees. It’s the kind of setting that feels like it was made for classic, heartfelt celebrations, and Meghan and Dante’s wedding day captured that feeling perfectly.

From the moment I arrived, there was an undeniable sense of calm joy. Meghan’s timeless bridal style — a strapless satin gown that moved beautifully in the Carolina breeze — paired perfectly with Dante’s classic black tux. Together, they embodied everything I love about true-to-color, bright, and timeless wedding photography: simple elegance, radiant light, and genuine connection.

We spent the afternoon wandering the grounds of The Carolina Manor House, surrounded by lush greenery and glowing sunlight. One of my favorite moments was watching Meghan and Dante laugh together during their portraits — those little in-between moments that make every wedding feel so authentically theirs.

Their day was full of heartfelt details: a soft, romantic color palette of pastels and peaches, fresh blooms that added just the right touch of whimsy, and a joyful energy that carried from morning to evening. Every moment felt light, natural, and full of meaning — the kind of day that reminds me why I love photographing weddings in the Carolinas.

Meghan and Dante, thank you for trusting me to document your story. Your wedding was the perfect blend of timeless style, Southern charm, and pure joy — a true reflection of who you are as a couple.
