Wedding at 701 Whaley in Columbia, SC

Kathryn and John’s wedding at 701 Whaley this summer was the kind of day that reminds us why we love what we do—full of elegance, joy, and personal touches that told their story so well. As Columbia, SC wedding photographers, we get to see a lot of beautiful weddings, but what stood out about this one was how it felt both timeless and totally true to them. The space at 701 Whaley gave us the perfect mix of charm and style, with tall ceilings, soft light, and room for the couple’s closest friends and family to gather and celebrate. Kathryn and John added subtle nods to their love of golf throughout the day—from the welcome party to the small details in the groom’s gear—and it was clear that every choice they made was rooted in who they are and what they love. It’s these kinds of weddings that feel both grand and grounded, and they’re a dream to photograph! If you’re getting married in Columbia and want photos that feel real and rich in meaning, we’d love to be part of your story.
