A Glam Wedding in Riverwalk, SC: Dana + TJ

December 19, 2018/ Brakefield at River Walk/ Catalyst Wedding Co

Dana and TJ’s ceremony was simply perfect. We laughed and cried during the perfectly decorated ceremony on the lawn of the Brakefield at Riverwalk. After the ceremony, Dana surprised TJ with a custom leather moto jacket that said Alpha Wife For Life as a tribute to TJ’s fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha. How chic did she look with the jacket and gown on?!
