Frolicking in Edisto Island, SC

Hey everyone!  This is my first time posting on the blog.  My name is Brooke Mayo of Brooke Mayo Photographers.  We consist of two photographers, me and my associate, Carrie Roen.  We’d love for you to visit our blog, www.brookemayoblog.com.  We hope you have an amazing weekend!

It was such a special treat to photograph Jess and Brad’s wedding!  I have had such a hard time choosing my favorites, I know it’s a ton to look through, but here is a slideshow…. I wanted to show all the emotion, the incredibly cute kids (watch to find one of the ring bearers giving an innocent and hilarious gesture!), all the giggles, tears, details, ceremony and of course, the love that is shared between the two of them and their families.  Jess’ grandma was there and so were her great grandkids, the ring bearers.  The kids were hugging all over her, it’s so sweet to see them together!  There are a few taken at night that look like the picture on the South Carolina flag, the palm tree with the moon… my favorite of the whole day is below, the sparklers were so much fun!!
The bouquet/garter toss cracked me up, it was totally rigged!!  Jess’ sister, Megan, caught the bouquet, and her boyfriend, Steve, caught the garter… I love Steve’s look when the bouquet’s being tossed!
The ceremony and reception were held at The Cypress Trees Plantation on Edisto Island in South Carolina.  Jess’ mom lived in the home where it all took place for 5 years of her childhood, so not only is it an amazing place, but it’s super special to their family.
Enjoy their slideshow!

The next morning they were such super troopers!  We had a sunrise Trash The Dress session at Botany Bay, it was nothing short of stunning with all the huge Oak trees in the ocean, the conch shells everywhere, the pelicans….

Here is an email Jess + Brad sent to their guests:

Here are the photos from the morning after our wedding at Botany Bay on Edisto Island. Just wanted to share with you guys! We had the most amazing photographers–Brooke and Carrie.
I can’t believe our photgrapher Brooke Mayo had a baby only 3 weeks ago–came to the wedding 10 hours away and has already posted some of the photos!!!!!! Brooke and Carrie–you guys are AMAZING! Thanks for everything!

Ooh… these area really lovely. Love the shot of the couple in the tree. I don’t think I could do that to my own wedding dress … but maybe if I bought a spare one for a cheap price at a vintage store or something… it does make for some really amazing photos! Do people ever do that? (buy an extra dress to get messed up for the pictures?)

Wow … gorgeous images … love the vivid colors. Jess and Brad must be over the moon with their wedding album.
