A Love Story Built by the Lake
After meeting on Tinder six years ago, Brooke and Dylan quickly found a shared love for life on the water. They got engaged on July 4th, 2020 while enjoying a boat day at the lake, a setting that remains a big part of their story. Whether spending time with their dogs or planning adventures together, this couple thrives on love, laughter, and spontaneity.
Wedding Day Highlights
Brooke and Dylan’s personalities, generous and funky for her, quiet-then-outgoing and fun for him, came through in every moment of their wedding day. A highlight of the ceremony was the dramatic sword arch exit from The Citadel’s chapel, adding a grand and classic touch. The reception at Harborside East delivered scenic views and non-stop dancing, a favorite part of weddings for this energetic couple.
Sentimental Touches & Surprises
One especially emotional surprise came when Brooke presented her mother with a framed photo of both of them, each wearing the same wedding gown. Captured secretly during Brooke’s bridal session, this moment was a meaningful nod to family, tradition, and timeless love.
The Sparkler Exit
The beautiful Charleston Harbor and iconic bridge filled the background as the evening closed in a shower of light. Dylan lifted Brooke into the air to seal the joyful day with a timeless kiss.
Captured with Love by Reflection Images
Brooke and Dylan looked forward to their bride and groom portraits the most, and the golden hour session by the water did not disappoint. We also explored the Citadel campus for striking couple shots, blending architecture with romance. Their gallery is filled with laughter, sweet glances, and beautifully lit Charleston backdrops, a true celebration of their story.
