Bleckley Station Wedding Anderson, SC : S + K

Updated: Feb 18

We first met Shawn and Kristen at The Biltmore in December of 2018! Shawn had contacted us about capturing his surprise proposal to Kristen that winter and we could tell from the tone that he was super excited to ask Kristen to marry him. Shawn must have been doing something right because Kristen said yes in an instant! After spending the the next hour with these cuties at The Biltmore, we hugged and wished them on their way, hopeful that we would get to connect with them both again!


Well fast forward almost a year and a half later, one minor delay because of Covid/government shut downs and we have arrived! (lol) Shawn and Kristen were married at the historical Bleckley Station in Anderson, SC! It has been the home to multiple businesses over the last century but the most recent being a beautiful space to gather for celebrations of life, including weddings! Between the exposed brick walls, natural sky light, and architectural design, this place literally takes your breath away upon entering. It was the perfect setting for their wedding day and one that we drew so much inspiration from in terms of lighting, lines, and angles. Not our typical venue, and one that we won’t soon forget!


Shawn and Kristen picked up where we left off last time we saw these two! Madly in love and not afraid to show it! Getting to meet their friends and family really helped to show the kind of people they are and where much of that comes from. They were surrounded by love and support and to give you a little prelude on what’s to come, let’s just say this crew knows how to party! We hope you enjoy following along on Shawn and Kristen’s big day!
