Hotel Domestique Wedding

Travelers Rest, South Carolina

Charlene (CJ)+ Joseph have been together for many years; but, August 19, 2023 marks the day of their special Hotel Domestique Wedding. They make the sweetest family with their dogs Zeva and Zues.

CJ got ready in the Lombardi room of the hotel. Joseph had custom suits made by A. Smith Clothiers for himself, his groomsmen, and the ring bearer. They all looked so dashing! The couple had a private first look in front of the hotel, escaping the August sun in a quaint shaded area. CJ and joseph were both very nervous, but the first look wiped away those jitters.

Chandeliers dangled from the roof of the tent set up in the courtyard, certainly creating a dream-like atmosphere. There were tears from everyone during the heartwarming ceremony. Even Zeva and Zeus looked on. Happy hour hosted cocktails and charcuterie for guests. The following reception was so fun! Lots of laughing, cheering, and dancing. CJ’s matron of honor shared a touching, hilarious toast, reminiscing on their friendship since grade school.

There were so many amazing moments, but nothing could top the experience we had from the surprise firework show during the reception. Guests were in awe! Once the last shot was fired we all celebrated. CJ walked back into the reception on Joseph’s arm yelling, “This is the best day ever!” Thanks to the couples vision and Jennifer Monts planning and coordinating, the entire day was executed beautifully!

CJ and Joseph finished getting ready before the met for their first look!

Both CJ and Joseph held back tears during their first look! This private moment before the ceremony was so important to them!

I love the green, classy atmosphere of Hotel Domestique!

CJ and Joseph had such a great group of people supporting them on their big day!

CJ’s father escorted her down the aisle to Joseph. Straightaway, smiles and anticipation filled the whole space!

What a fantastic space with, with an undeniably wonderful background for tying the knot!

Such adorable little puppies! They were the perfect finishing touches to this big day!

The classy reception set-up was absolutely breathtaking!

8.19.2023 was a great day for a Hotel Domestique Wedding! The fireworks to end the night was an undoubtedly fitting close to a fantastic day! It was clear CJ and Joseph had one of the best days of their lives! It was an honor to capture this experience for such a lovely couple!
