Jonathan + Crissy | Folly Beach Wedding | Folly Beach Wedding Photographer

Folly Beach wedding

If there was one wedding I would have liked to have been both the photographer AND a guest, it would definitely be Jonathan & Crissy's! They intricately planned a gorgeous, intimate wedding ceremony with their families on the sandy shores of Folly Beach, followed by an elegant, laughter-filled reception on a beach house balcony overlooking the setting sun.

And honestly, the Etters are SUCH a divinely sweet couple, I practically did feel like a guest :) Who could have guessed that an introduction through an old coworker almost 3 years ago would lead to them meeting for the first time in a WalMart parking lot, & then into love -> engagement -> marriage?! God has such a way of bringing people together in His timing & His way.

She loves Jonathan's big heart, who so sweetly (literally!) proposed to Crissy via ring pop, which is evidence of how big Crissy's heart is. (Ring pops, of course, then made their guest appearance at the couple's glitzy reception table. Which Crissy either made/created/put together almost all you see herself! SO creative & talented! I could have photographed them & that table all night.)

Throughout their whole wedding day, she was constantly considered with her guests' needs - did they have everything they needed, how could she help them. Jonathan was right by her side - holding her dress, giving her his hand, guiding her in the small of her back. A true servant-hearted husband right from the I Do's, which were officiated by Jonathan's dad as their family gathered in a small circle around them on the beachfront.

Truly a Happy Ever Etter indeed!
