Upstairs at Midtown Engagement Party {Styled Shoot}
Y'all, this one is for the boys! Reese Moore Photography teamed up with Fabulous Fete to show off how to celebrate an engagement party for the groom-to-be! So, get ready to revel in the finer aspects of contemporary Southern living and every gentleman's favorite things as the wedding planning gets underway, as showcased by this hunting-lodge-meets-fabulous-inspiration shoot for this Upstairs at Midtown wedding engagement party. The food (those mouthwatering ribs!) was catered by caterer extraordinaire Maybank Catering, while our friends at Squeeze OnSite were the magicians behind the Growler Station and Bourbon Bar.
A bourbon bar, cigar rolling station, and a growler station of craft beers offer the groom and groomsmen-to-be a plethora of ways to celebrate tying the knot before sending them off with a Brackish Bow Tie favor. Everyone can happily tuck into that enormous, mouth-watering rack of BBQ ribs, coleslaw, and a modern but elegant cake from Ashley Bakery. Exposed brick, deer antlers, silver camp cups, a vintage shipyard chain, and gentlemen's flasks help round out an elegant masculine theme that even the most feminine of brides is sure to love, while fine trout-adorned china, metallic chargers, and hops make for chic, colorful details.

Sullivans Island Wedding {Brigid + Drew}
If you're considering an intimate setting for your Charleston wedding, you'll love Brigid + Drew's Lowcountry affair from Charleston wedding vendor, Reese Moore Photography. Thanks to Reese for giving us all the details... "Stunning bride Brigid and husband-to-be Drew wanted a small, intimate, elegant fete for their wedding, so the two found a beautiful private home with an epic view of Sullivan's Island for their big day. They welcomed guests with eco-friendly, signature glasses from Mr. B's Sustainable Glassworks, and the couple wed on the porch overlooking the sweeping views of the beach. Brigid cried tears of joy throughout the ceremony... as did every other person there. Literally not a dry eye in the place! Then, after some photos on the beach, it was time for an elegant 3 course dinner on a long table decked with burlap, mason jars, candles, tulips, and low green and white center pieces. Brigid and Drew did their first dance on the deck and sunset, the perfect ending to a perfect day!"
