Kelly and Tim were married at a beautiful marsh side ceremony on Callawassie Island in Beaufort County, South Carolina. Nestled in the heart of South Carolina’s Lowcountry, the Callawassie Island Clubhouse blends Southern charm with modern amenities. It’s stately architecture, beautifully manicured grounds and breathtaking views of the marshland provide a beautiful combination of romance and natural beauty!
Their Love Story:
Kelly and Tim met through mutual friends during college at the University of Pittsburgh back in 2016. It didn’t take long for them after that to start dating and fall in love. After Kelly graduated from Pitt, she moved to Buffalo to start medical school. Therefore, they survived a long-distance relationship for about a year, which made their relationship even stronger. Tim and Kelly are now both living in Buffalo, where Kelly relies on Tim’s warmth to survive the winters. Tim proposed to Kelly on August 7th, 2022 on the dock at Callawassie Island in Okatie, SC, which is their favorite spot to hang out when they visit Kelly’s family. Shortly after their wedding, Kelly and Tim will be moving to the Big Apple as Kelly will be starting her internal medicine residency at New York Presbyterian-Columbia and Tim will continue to work as an accountant for Ernst & Young!
Kelly and her bridesmaids had so much fun during their time together at her bridal preparations. Bride’s Side Beauty glammed up the bride and her maids with their outstanding hair and make up skills. After their giggly champagne toasts, Kelly and her crew were ready to get dressed! Her Essence of Australia gown was absolutely stunning! The plunging V-neckline, sparkling floral accents and glittering bodice was so romantic and wistful, truly a remarkable gown! Her lace Bella Belle shoes adorned with flowers and blue leaf details added the most elegant touch.
After Kelly slipped into her gown with the assistance of her mother, her little sister helped her with the finishing details. Talk about an emotional moment! We must admit, bridal prep is one of our favorite parts of the wedding day to photograph. It’s fun, sentimental and there’s usually tons of happy tears as the bride’s favorite people surround her with so much love and support.
First looks with dads or anyone special to the bride is a pretty popular moment to have photographed. Mr. Cononolly was speechless when his beautiful daughter stepped out to surprise him! You could tell just how much this father and daughter adore one another.
After Kelly and her bridesmaid’s portraits were complete, it was time to go see the fella’s at the Callawassie Clubhouse!
The guys were a total blast! After Tim’s father and brother helped with his finishing details, they cracked jokes over some cold beer and took their formal portraits outside of the venue. How sharp do these guys look in their Men’s Wearhouse suits?!
Soon after, it was time for Tim and Kelly’s first look! There’s no doubt Tim was totally in awe of his beautiful bride! He couldn’t take his eyes off her! The pair shared a loving embrace and headed off for some couples portraits on the venue grounds.
Time for Kelly and Tim to say I do! Stunning and Brilliant Events did an amazing job setting up the ceremony site. Beautiful white and blue florals by the fabulous Kato’s Floral Designs adorned the arbor with the breathtaking marsh as a backdrop and JL Music Services provided the ceremony music with a beautiful string ensemble.
Time for the grand entrance and wedding reception formalities! Kato’s never misses with their enchanting floral designs. Bloom Custom Cakes went all out on the couples 4 tiered cake with hand painted flowers. This masterpiece was not only exquisite, it was also very delicious! After the first dances, sunset portraits and the cake cutting, it was time to party! The newlyweds, wedding party and guests rocked out to lively music provided by All About You Entertainment! All in all, it was a lovely wedding with two of the kindest souls ever. It was top notch the whole way through! Congratulations once again to Kelly and Tim!
