South Carolina Mountain Elopement | Alejandra and Larry

Alejandra and Larry were married in the mountains of South Carolina with their families!

When Larry and Alejandra first reached out to me, they knew they wanted a small wedding or elopement in upstate South Carolina, but had no idea where they wanted it to happen.  When I sent them a blog post with some options, they immediately wanted to know more about Cliffs at Glassy Chapel in Landrum.  This is a place that’s just as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside–a stone chapel with a steeple and tall windows that sits at the edge of a cliff, overlooking Glassy Mountain.

The wedding was on a Thursday evening in late July.  It was a ridiculously hot day, but everything felt so much cooler once we got up to the chapel.  Alejandra wore a white dress with hot pink shoes, a Michael Kors watch, and a ribbon in her hair.  Larry wore a khaki suit with a light pink tie.  Larry and Alejandra had about 25 of their family members there to celebrate with them, and you could feel the love the whole time.  Iris, the officiant, invited all the guests to raise their arms to bless the couple. They also incorporated a lasso into their ceremony, which their family members brought to lay over them. After the wedding ceremony, all the guests went back to Larry and Alejandra’s house for barbecue.   With only Alejandra and Larry left, they could take in the stillness and peace of the mountains for a few minutes before they headed back to their house.

Ready for the best day ever?

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. We love finding new outdoor places to visit, but we also love hanging out on the couch and watching Pixar movies.

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!
