We interrupt this tropical storm to bring you a peek of Elena & Brad’s wedding day! Since our very first phone call, I have been so excited for this day to come. Needless to say, Elena and I hit it off instantly and have been close throughout her wedding process ever since!  Elena & Brad not only incorporated many  heirloom items  throughout their wedding day, but will continue to do so throughout their lives. Instead of purchasing new wedding bands, both of them chose to wear sentimental rings from their grandparents. Talk about a detail after my own heart! I seriously could not love this more! Shortly before their ceremony the rain came pouring in and continued throughout most of the night.  Most brides would have been a complete mess, but not Elena. She had waited to so long to meet Brad at the end of the asile and to see his reaction when the church doors opened. It was a beautiful and unforgettable moment the two of them will share forever. After the ceremony, we headed back to the Dunes Club to kick off the night of celebrating. Something you should know is despite how in love they are with each other, they are really a house divided. Brad a huge USC fan and Elena a Clemson Tiger. If you know anything about college football, you know this was the perfect recipe for a chant off and you will have to see those images below! haha!

Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs. Hocking! We are so excited for you and loved being apart of your day!
