I have to hand it to my brides this year who still decide to go through with their weddings. The pandemic certainly hasn’t made planning easy, but the brides that have pulled it off have done such a great job. Carrie and Travis have probably had the best mix of safety, classiness, and fun that I’ve seen yet this year!

Carrie and Travis are both doctors in the DC area but decided to have their wedding at Drayton Mills back in their hometown of Spartanburg, SC. With the inside of 1st Presbyterian Church not available, they decided to get innovative and have their wedding ceremony right outside on the front lawn facing the beautiful stone facade of the historic church. Not only was this was a great decision on several levels, but they couldn’t have been rewarded with more beautiful weather! Shortly after their ceremony we headed to the newly opened Eighteen Hundred Drayton Mills for their wedding reception. With cocktail hour outside on the terrace, and a beautiful indoor/outdoor reception layout it was a memorable night filled with great food, live music, and some great dance moves!

Thanks again for having me guys!!
