From Oregon to South Carolina, a historic total solar eclipse awed an entire nation as cities along the path of the eclipse fell into complete darkness for a brief moment on Monday, August 21.

Folks that were within the 70-mile wide path of totality captured the rare and striking celestial phenomenon on camera, as the moon moved between the sun and Earth and completely blocked the solar surface. For a couple of minutes, a dark shadow was cast on our planet.

As the sun re-emerged from behind the moon, it created an astonishing “diamond ring” effect. People from all over came to the Holy City to watch this rare and spectacular event. Here are some of the best moments captured from around Charleston of Monday’s total solar eclipse.

Photographing an eclipse was way over my head. But here is what I got at totality, not bad I guess. I’ll take it #pathoftotality #eclipse2017 #charlestoneclipse

Lexi + Terran • This wedding blew me away. Not only was it on the day of one of the craziest natural phenomenons I’ve ever seen, it was one of the 5 best wedding I’ve ever shot. I can really only think of one that even comes close to the sheer amount of epic portraits we got from this wedding. • I absolutely cannot wait to blown up everyone’s instagram feed in the next few days. • Massive shoutout to the team at @pinnaclecharleston for bringing this day to life and making it unbelievable! • • • • #eclipse #eclipse2017 #solareclipse #solareclipse2017 #charlestoneclipse #charleston #sony #a7rii #profoto #wedding #weddings #weddingday #weddingdress #weddingplanner #instawedding #engagement #travel #resourcemag #resourceweddings #engaged #weddingphotography #instagood #instalike #kiss #love #landscape #sunset #bride #charlestonwedding #charlestonweddingphotographer
