Thanks so much for the wonderful comments! You all are very sweet. Sorry it has taken me so long to say thank you - we don't have the internet at home yet, so it's taking forever to get anything done online.
Just a couple of quick comments - I do love the idea of meeting before the ceremony and am very happy we did that. My personal opinion is that there is a noticable difference in the photos when they are taken before versus afterwards. It's wonderful to have a few intimate moments together before all the excitement! While I completely respect tradition, if you are a fan of breaking the rules, I definitely recommend it!
For those getting married in the states, Jill Higgins is happy to photograph outside of Charleston (and wants to come to the UK now!). She is so sweet and I barely noticed she was there on the actual day. Samantha Slapnik of Emma Grace Designs was my wedding planner and did a phenomenal job. She is based in Raleigh, but loves destination weddings as well.
