Devin & Rae – Iconic Sea Island Wedding Vibes

This was such an Iconic Sea Island wedding, and I am so excited to share the details.

This last fall, I had the absolute pleasure of photographing one of the loveliest and, honestly, really cool couples I have had the pleasure of photographing. In a world where being in one’s vibe is all the rage, Devin and Rae rocked it.

It certainly helped that their color palette was soft whites, blacks, blues and greens. A simple, yet elegant color scheme that allowed them to pop on their wedding day. Rae’s choice for a wedding dress designer was exquisite as her lovely gown was designed by the incomparable House of Renhue. A lovely satin & lace gown that absolutely melted on her shoulders.

In fact, when it came to the question of whether or not Rae would have lace, she was torn.

“As a young girl, I had envisioned a gown made of delicate, intricate lace. However, as I matured, I found
myself drawn to clean, minimal looks. As I began shopping for dresses, I was constantly torn between the
two -so, why not have both?”

-Rae

And that is precisely what Rae did. Her gown was a lovely, modern, sleek piece with a column silhouette, which she adorned with a stunning Chantilly Lace Cape. Rae’s gown was created to be elegant yet soft, and Devin’s black tux with a bow tie was a perfect match for this modern wedding.

Then, of course, what would this be without at least mentioning the elegant and modern style of The Cloister at Sea Island? A wedding venue crafted out of the new world, made to be a modern paradise of sheer luxury helped to make this such an iconic Sea Island wedding.

The Cloister matched Devin and Rae’s vision of their wedding style, which was a good thing. They both fell in love with the Cloister long before their wedding day. In fact, it was the very place where Devin proposed to Rae.

An often traveled stay for the couple while they were dating, as they found themselves on St. Simon’s island visiting Rae’s mother quite often. It only made sense to hold the wedding at these historic estates. While then moving to a close friend’s home for a smaller backyard reception.

An Intimate Affair At This Iconic Sea Island Wedding

With a venue, wedding theme inspiration, wedding planning and color palette all complete, it merely came down to design elements. Rae had actually hand designed all of her invitations herself. A beautiful calligraphy style reminiscent of the old world for this destination wedding.

To say Rae and Devin did their absolute best to give these iconic Sea Island wedding vibes would still be an understatement. Devin and Rae only invited a select few to celebrate their big day. They decided early on in the planning process that they wanted an intimate, small wedding—not a lavish event, but a modern, sleek, and stylish affair for those closest to them.

“With a guest count of only 12, our intimate celebration allowed us to infuse every element with love and
attention to detail. It was important to us to pour over every detail of the day, as our guests would be
intimately familiar with all of it. Devin and I embraced our passion for creating by designing our invitation
suite.”

The Final Results: Gorgeous Wedding Photography In Sea Island

The result of this detailed planning and the realization of Rae and Devin’s dream wedding was stunning. As I said, it had me all in my Wedding Vibes. I would love to be able to photograph these two every weekend. They were such a lovely and beautiful couple with an eye for detail, which is something I look for in all of my couples.

Their inner beauty, thought, and design made for an astonishing event—one they will cherish for a lifetime.

As well as I.

With Love
