From High School Sweethearts to Forever: A Dreamy June Wedding at Old Wide Awake in Charleston, SC

Amanda and Trey’s Old Wide Awake Wedding is a perfect example of why Charleston, SC weddings are so popular. Set at one of the most charming wedding venues and captured by one of Charleston’s most seasoned photographers, it pairs southern, romantic vibes with timeless, joy-filled photography.

A Love Story Rooted in Tradition

Amanda and Trey first met in high school where they quickly became inseparable. Over time, their relationship grew naturally—steady, intentional, and full of shared history.

For years, Charleston and Kiawah Island have been their favorite summer escape. Because of that, choosing Old Wide Awake Plantation felt deeply personal. The venue reflects not only their love for the Lowcountry but also the life they’ve built side by side.

A Joy-Filled Ceremony Beneath the Oaks

Amanda’s walk down the aisle was breathtaking. She wore a sleek off-the-shoulder gown paired with a pearl-detailed cathedral veil. As a result, her look felt timeless and effortlessly elegant.

Meanwhile, Trey waited at the altar in a classic navy suit. When he saw her for the first time, his expression said everything. Pure joy.

A Reception Inspired by Charleston

Their reception felt like a love letter to the city. For example, each table was named after a local icon—Rainbow Row, The Angel Oak, and The Pineapple Fountain.

As the sun dipped low, they shared their first dance beneath a candlelit tent to “Steal the Show” by Lauv. Afterward, the evening unfolded with laughter, dancing, and moments you wish you could bottle forever.

Although their sweet dogs, Jack and Gus, couldn’t attend in person, they were still part of the celebration. In fact, their cake topper was custom-designed to look just like them—the sweetest detail that had everyone smiling.

Surrounded by their favorite people, Amanda and Trey began their marriage in a place filled with meaning. It was more than a wedding day. It was a celebration of summers past and a lifetime ahead.

Here’s to countless Charleston sunsets and a love story that continues to grow.
