Charley Ruhf & Taylor King

May 6, 2023
When Charley and Taylor, from Williamsburg  and Richmond, Virginia, respectively, met in 2018 while seeing Twiddle at the Pour House, they were smitten by the end of the first song. The two dated long distance during Charley’s senior year at the University of South Carolina, often traveling, playing golf, and boating, before making Charleston their home the following spring. When Taylor popped the question on a dock overlooking the Stono River, he surprised Charley with Champagne and a post-proposal celebration with family and friends. The couple tied the knot at the historic William Aiken House, hosting a reception and cocktail hour complete with espresso martinis.

Here’s a little discussed fact: A great DJ can make (or break) a wedding. And the difference between a first dance that has everyone sighing and posting (instead of cringing) and a party that...

Here’s the thing: Charleston’s in the tropics, more or less. And here in the jungle, it rains from time to time, which can put a damper on a portrait sesh out and about if you don’t plan well. The...

Ok, people. Yes, you’re gonna love Jesse and Will’s wedding photos (al fresco reception in the Old Village? Yes, please!). But their proposal story? It might even beat the pretty out for best in show...

Lindsey and José didn’t start off on the right foot (he didn’t do a double-take when he first met her at Boston College, so she gave him the same indifferent treatment, and sparks didn’t fly for...
