sEA pINES Hilton Head Island wedding sC

Stephanie and Mark were married on October 9, 2021 at a private Sea Pines estate wedding in Hilton Head Island, choosing an intimate celebration that felt refined, personal, and deeply connected to its surroundings. With a guest list limited to close family and friends, their wedding day unfolded with an unhurried ease — allowing space for meaningful moments, thoughtful details, and natural connection.

All events were hosted outdoors, making the coastal setting an integral part of the experience. The ceremony took place at the front of the estate, framed by Spanish moss, ivy-covered architecture, and mature Southern greenery that created a romantic, timeless backdrop. Stephanie began the day in a lace Lela Rose gown, its soft structure and classic detailing pairing effortlessly with the relaxed elegance of a Sea Pines wedding setting.

Following the ceremony, guests moved to a beachside reception behind the estate, where the tone shifted into something lighter and celebratory while remaining elevated. Stephanie changed into a modern Oscar de la Renta look — a playful, fashion-forward choice that felt perfectly suited for sunset portraits and an intimate coastal evening with loved ones.

One of the most personal elements of the day was the inclusion of their dog, seamlessly woven into the celebration without sacrificing sophistication or style. It was a reflection of what defined the entire wedding: intentional choices, quiet luxury, and a focus on what truly mattered.

This Hilton Head Island wedding is a beautiful example of how a Sea Pines estate wedding can feel both elevated and deeply personal — proving that intimate celebrations, when thoughtfully designed and grounded in place, can be just as impactful as large-scale events.

"Choosing Vicki based on her photos was an easy choice - we loved everything about her portfolio. Her photos were full of light and gorgeous tones and her couples always looked so natural and effortless. But her work style is what sealed the deal for us - she is kind and patient and fun to be around, and that’s so important given how much time you spend with her on your big day. She gave us lots of guidance from planning our engagement shoot down to the clothing, location and time of day to how to pose and have fun on wedding day. She even helped me fix up my bouquet when I wasn’t in love with it. We look at our wedding photos often and can’t believe how amazing our day was. Vicki was a big part of that and we will always be grateful for her!." - Stephanie & Mark
