There seemed like there was a lot of planning involved, but it really wasn't that difficult. We had heard from others that had eloped that they regretted not dressing nicer or taking photos. We hired a photographer, opted for normal wedding outfits, and we got flowers as well.
We began the morning at the local magistrates office, where we were legally married. We held hands and said traditional vows, but waited until later to say our own to each other.
Upon arrival to our hotel (Harbor View Inn), we got ready to meet the photographer. I got in my dress, without him seeing me of course, and before we left, we did our own "first look". He looked so handsome!
We met our photographer, Leslie, at White Pointe Gardens. We spent about 2 hours taking photos, in all the most beautiful places in Charleston. It really was so gorgeous, and we loved how sweet Leslie was. She took photos of us reading our vows we wrote to each other, and we put on our rings at that time. It was so special, and WOW, my husband's vows were incredible. I'm one lucky girl!
I highly recommend not only a visit to Charleston, SC, but eloping as well.
