Michael + Lauren | A Buck Ridge Plantation Wedding

Bridal· Weddings

17 Oct

Michael and Lauren were married September 19, 2015 in Neeces, SC at Buck Ridge Plantation! You may remember them from their engagement session this past Spring! (Click here if not!) The first time I met these two, I remember thinking to myself how down to earth they both seemed, and then when they mentioned that their venue was Buck Ridge Plantation, I knew they would be such an awesome couple to work with! This venue tends to attract a certain type of couple– those who care about celebrating togetherness, not just for the actual ceremony celebration, but for the entire weekend! Buck Ridge Plantation is nestled in the woods and just creates a sense of stepping away from the hustle and bustle of the world, which is FABULOUS for ANY wedding!

Michael and Lauren decided to do a first look, and I’m so happy they did! We were able to trapse around the property for portraits that we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to incorporate after the ceremony! So without any more chatting, check out their awesome day!

Lauren was such a beautiful and elegant bride! Here are a few of her bridal portraits from the Lace House grounds in Columbia too! Thank you guys again for having me be a part of such an awesome experience! xoxo

I love experiencing ‘firsts’ with my child; always
I love experiencing ‘firsts’ with my child; always have. And that doesn’t stop when they are teenagers. 🥰 February 21, 2026 was Gus’ first reenactment- the Battle of Aiken! You can tell by the black powder on his face, too, as that is the initiation. 😁

He planned for this day for a year. One of his buddies briefly mentioned after the 2025 one that they should look into being involved. Well, that conversation sparked a drive in this boy! Although the friend didn’t go onto being involved, Gus knew he would! So he saved up some money and purchased his gear. 

At the last minute, the unit he was originally registered with backed out of attending due to potential bad weather. So that left us scrambling. We told him not to worry and to just pack the vehicle with all his gear and we would just drive on to Aiken and figure it out when we get there. 😅 And by divine intervention, I’m sure of it, he ended up with the most wonderful unit of reenactors that he will continue with now, for years to come. 🙌🙏 

PS: he had his heart set on representing the South, but his unit was drafted to portray Union federalists at the last minute. 🤪

A couple weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be able to get away for a couple days with my grandma, mama, and two of my aunts! Such a blessing!!! 💜 We perused the beach for shells and at night played the game ‘Taco, Goat, Cat, Cheese, Pizza’ (there were only two games provided in the house 🤣); all of us came away with some type of bruise. 🤣 We also had the Stone family famous shrimp ‘n grits for breakfast one morning! This trip was such a treasure!

These fellas had a heckuva start to their fishing tournament season this past Saturday. 😅 First, their typical boat captain was under the weather, so had to play switch-a-roo on boat *and* captain. Then, about 11am during the tournament the boat they were in broke down, leaving them only the section of the lake they could access with the trolling motor. Thankfully, a fellow team boat captain (and our church pastor!) was able to return his anglers to weigh-in, then make the run across the lake to snatch up these two fellas and get them to the dock in time for weigh-in. SHEW Y’ALL! 😅😵‍💫 They still managed 4 of the 5 fish limit with 10.04 lbs. 🙌
