The one snow day we had in Greenville all winter just so happened to land on the day McKenzie wanted to propose to Katrina. The exciting night out he’d planned for the proposal quickly turned into a night in, so he had to think of a new plan quickly. He put on “Millionaire” by Chris Stapleton and asked Katrina for a slow dance in the living room. When the song finished, he told her that it was a good time to celebrate. When Katrina asked what they were celebrating, McKenzie said, “our engagement,” and got down on one knee with this gorgeous vintage-looking engagement ring.

Katrina and McKenzie’s intimate wedding was on a perfect April day at the Bleckley Inn in Anderson. They made each other laugh during the ceremony and they had me laughing so much during their bride and groom portraits! We took some photos out in the courtyard and some others in this little alleyway with flowers and string lights. Katrina wore a gown with lace sleeves and an off-the-shoulder V-neckline, like a gown out of a 50s movie. She also had these princess-looking shoes and the garter her mother wore on her own wedding day. Many of the items they used were handmade, including their engraved tree-like ring box, McKenzie’s feather bow tie, and the succulent décor at the reception. Katrina and her mom made and designed the decor themselves and set it up with the help of some of their family and friends. All three of their rings are so unique—McKenzie’s wedding band is made from meteorite!

Thank you Katrina and McKenzie for letting me be part of this beautiful day!
