Audrey and Mark /// Cumberland Island Georgia Weddings

I am a little apprehensive to upload any images from this weekend's awesome wedding on Cumberland Island, GA because there are literally thousands of favorites from this event (and it's hard to decide where to start)... But, at any rate... here are just a few!!



Cumberland Island was the 19th century retreat of Thomas and Lucy Carnegie who, in 1900, built Greyfield for their daughter, Margaret Ricketson. Converted to an inn during 1962 by her daughter, Lucy R. Ferguson, and family - who oversee the daily operation - Greyfield Inn exudes the welcoming atmosphere and charm of a family home. Most famously, when JFK JR. AND CAROLYN BESSETTE wanted an elegant, vibrant, peaceful and private location to wed, they chose the Greyfield Inn on Cumberland Island .







Wedding Ingredients:
Venue : Greyfield Inn at Cumberland Island, Ga
Wedding Planner : Bonnie Magee
Florist : Larry Miller
Photography : Steph and Ronnie for Ron B. Wilson Photography, Inc

Although many believe that Cumberland Island has the most beautiful undeveloped beaches on the East Coast, a visit to Cumberland is not just a “trip to the beach.” The Island is rich in history, architecture, and natural areas. Where the eastern edge of Cumberland is bounded by the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean, the north, west, and south are bounded by rivers, sounds, and marshes. A sunset across the western marsh of Cumberland Island is an unforgettable view. The sight of the beautiful red sun setting over the marshes of Cumberland is one which draws visitors continually back to the Island. If possible, spend a night on Cumberland in order to see it. The marshes are very fertile areas of the ecosystem where much of the beginning of the food chain hatch. Georgia, and especially Cumberland, is blessed with thousands of acres of marshland teeming with wildlife, from tiny organisms to shrimp and fish, and even alligators.


****Thanks so much to this amazing couple Mark and Audrey, the 44 amazing friends and family who attended the event from all parts of the globe, my right-hand gal Steph Owens, the wedding planner Bonnie, and the gracious staff at The Greyfield... 
I know that in the future at any stage of my life and career, I will look back fondly to this past weekend as one of my favorite bits of time!


PLEASE KEEP CHECKING BACK.. MANY MORE IMAGES COMING SOON!!
