Words from the Vendors
From Clay Austin Photography:
I have a wedding to share with you today that is overflowing with love and affection! This little backyard soiree took place just outside of Charleston SC at the Groom's family home, and it was as much a intimate family affair as you can get! Right down to the mother of the bride cracking eggs and creating one of the most beautiful wedding cakes I have seen!
This couple could not be more perfect for each other! He a motorcycle enthusiast and she a fashion student at Savannah College or Art and Design. To boot their little bulldog Levi completely steals the show!! This was definitely one of those times where I felt more like family, rather just the photographer
Wedding Advice from the Bride
If I could have done anything differently, I probably would have simplified the whole day even more. Weddings bring up a lot of different emotions all at once and I feel like I would have been a lot more calm in general had I scaled down even more. Our backyard wedding was amazing, but I can definitely understand the perks of eloping now.
Read on to see how much this quirky hip backyard wedding cost. Please note that costs change as the years go by, and prices are subject to change. This is just one couple’s breakdown to give you a rough estimate on how much a wedding like this may cost you.
