Cady & Andrew’s Stunning Sea Island Wedding at the Cloister
ABout the event
Cady and Andrew’s classic seaside wedding at The Cloister at Sea Island was a timeless celebration of love and legacy. With the stunning Georgia coast by their side, they exchanged vows in the place Cady grew up in, making every moment feel deeply personal and sentimental.
Planned to perfection by Maggie Hughes, their day was a seamless blend of Southern elegance and coastal charm—from the soft ocean breeze during their ceremony to the candlelit reception filled with warmth and joy. Every detail reflected the beauty of tradition, the magic of the Sea Island setting, and a love story that felt destined from the start.
If you're looking for a Sea Island wedding photographer to capture your most meaningful moments, I would love to tell your story with the same artistry and heart.
