Danielle and Jamie were married on a perfect fall day at the Gaines Lodge at Table Rock State Park!
Danielle and Jamie wanted mountains to be part of their wedding day, and the Gaines Lodge had everything they were looking for. I was so excited to be part of a wedding here because Table Rock is one of my favorite state parks, but I’d never been to the Gaines Lodge. This beautiful lodge has a porch that overlooks Table Rock Mountain, Pinnacle Mountain, and Pinnacle Lake. The fall colors were just starting to change here, so we had a good mix of green and yellow leaves.
Danielle and Jamie were married in front of about 60 friends and family members, plus their dogs, Phoebe and Guinness. Danielle and Jamie did a first look (having photos together before the ceremony), which helped them feel more at ease going into the ceremony. I loved that Danielle had a color palette for her bridesmaids’ dresses instead of having all of them wear the same color. Jamie rocked the galaxy cat socks. One of the bridesmaids arranged wooden flowers into bouquets, boutonnières, and corsages, so they will look exactly the same years down the line. At the reception, Danielle changed into a lighter dress. There was pumpkin beer at the bar and a beautiful fall-themed cake with cupcakes! The temperature was perfect and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky all day long.

My name is Christine (Scott) Gow and I’m an elopement photographer based out of Greenville, South Carolina. I’m a wife and a beagle mom. The three of us have visited beautiful places in every corner of South Carolina, to include all 48 of our state parks. Sometimes we wear hiking boots, sometimes we wear dress shoes, and sometimes we’re barefoot in the surf.
One thing I love about South Carolina is that it’s not just the beaches and colorful houses that you imagine when you picture it. Whether you’re looking for mountains, beaches, or anything in between; I can help you find the perfect place for the two of you and make it as smooth of a day as possible. No matter how you two choose to spend your day, I’m happy you’re doing it the way that you want.
I can’t wait to meet you!
