andrew + blair | charleston, sc

I met Blair my Sophomore year in college. She was an incoming Freshman with bright eyes, a captivating smile, and the kindest heart. I knew immediately I wanted to be her friend. I’ve been to many a wedding with Blair and she would always lean in and whisper to me, “Whenever I get married I want you to photograph it!”.

Years have gone by and I always wondered to myself what jewel of a man would get to marry Blair Christie. And then Andrew came into the picture. Handsome. Tenderhearted. Grateful. And full of the same laughter as Blair. Before too long they were engaged to be married and I was beyond excited to be asked to photograph their wedding day.

Andrew and Blair’s wedding day was drinking gratefulness.

As flowers wilted and schedules got thrown out, they both remained present and grateful. As someone who used to do several dozen weddings a year, I will tell you how refreshing and heartwarming this is.

When Blair walked down the aisle to marry her love, she was singing at the top of her lungs about Jesus. The day before Easter, the resurrection and life was all wrapped up with the new life in their own marriage and how it wasn’t possible without Christ. I was both sobbing and smiling ear to ear. Andrew’s vows included saying that Blair had treated him differently from any other girl.

Not many couples are living their vows before they even say them, but these two have already been through so many trials and they keep choosing each other.

Their reception was filled with the most delicious low-country food chosen by the groom ( who is a trained chef), chilling with their closest people, dancing to live bluegrass, and catching the sunset over the Ravenel Bridge.

**Andrew lives with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy and as he and Blair start out their lives together, they are in need of a wheelchair accessible van. If you’ve read their story and want to send a little blessing their way, you can donate to their van fund here.
