Abrianna and Hiram’s fall wedding at the historic Judson Mill Smokestack in Greenville, South Carolina, was nothing short of magical. The perfect weather, the warm hues of fall, and the industrial-chic charm of the venue combined to create a day that felt both timeless and modern. It was a true celebration of love, family, and the beauty of the season.
Judson Mill Smokestack, with its rich history and unique architecture, was the perfect venue for Abrianna and Hiram’s wedding. The exposed brick, towering smokestack, and wide open spaces offered a stunning contrast to the delicate details of their wedding decor. The couple embraced the venue’s industrial aesthetic while adding personal touches that reflected their style and love story.
We started off with some photos of Abrianna getting ready for the day, as well as capturing the bridesmaids and groomsmen photos before the ceremony. As the ceremony began, the sun cast a warm golden light over the outdoor courtyard, highlighting the beautiful historic brick walls surrounding the venue. Abrianna, glowing in a flowing gown with intricate lace details, made her entrance with a quiet elegance, while Hiram waited for her with a heart full of emotion. His eyes welled up as she walked down the aisle, and it was a moment of pure connection between them that we were honored to capture.
The ceremony took place in front of the smokestack, a dramatic yet intimate setting that felt both historic and modern. Abrianna and Hiram exchanged vows under a simple yet beautiful arch adorned with fall flowers. Their vows were filled with heartfelt words and promises that moved everyone in attendance.
The way Abrianna and Hiram looked at each other throughout the ceremony was a photographer’s dream—full of love, joy, and anticipation for the life they are about to embark on together.
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail hour in the courtyard before moving into the smokestack for the reception. The space was transformed with warm lighting, lush greenery, and rustic yet elegant table settings. The couple shared their first dance as husband and wife under the soft glow of Edison bulbs strung across the venue. The exposed brick walls, paired with the romantic ambiance, made for some truly memorable photographs.
One of the highlights of the reception was the heartfelt speeches from friends and family, who shared stories and laughter that filled the room with warmth and love. Abrianna and Hiram’s smiles never left their faces, and their joy was contagious.
The night ended off with a beautiful private last dance and streamer sendoff as the newly married couple ran off into the night!
