Romantic Garden Wedding

A quiet garden setting was the perfect place for Jessica and Travis' wedding on October 2, 2011. They were married at the Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens in Belmont, NC. It was one of those beautiful, autumn afternoons before the leaves have turned and it couldn't have been more lovely. As the sun was setting, Jessica and Travis said their vows and held each others hands. The warmth and love of their family embraced them throughout the day and this quiet garden setting exploded into a place of laughter and fun during the family picture taking. This wedding was very romantic and I was so excited to share some of my favorites from the day.

Don't Worry Be Happy

Don't let the watch fool you! Its actually an hour behind! That is why I fell in love with this laid back couple. From the start, Crystal and Brian had a simple, care free attitude toward their wedding and the planning of it. I didn't even talk with them til the week of the wedding when I emailed for an itinerary. Crystal told me they didn't really have one and that they were just gonna sorta wing it! You gotta know I don't hear that every day! But that day, everything went off without a hitch and it was beautiful! In the end, this was one of the most fun weddings of our year and one I won't soon forget!

Young and In Love

Alicia and Patrick married in Morganton, NC on June 11, 2011 and though they may be young, they are truly in love. Their wedding day was an expression of the love they share with one another but also their love of church and family. During the ceremony, Alicia sang and Patrick sang and played the guitar. They sang a beautiful song of praise and I was over whelmed with emotion. This young couple, together will be a mighty force. Their photographs show that expression of love and I am happy to be able to share them with you.

Love and Service to Our Country

What an utterly fantastic wedding...Jennifer and Daniel were wed on July 2, 2011 and it was absolutely incredible. To begin their families were so completely endearing, especially Daniel's Grandfather who was quite a funny gentleman. Jennifer's Mom who just made us feel completely welcome was a delight to work with and made every aspect of the day come together seamlessly. Daniel and Jennifer are a wonderful couple and I am glad to say I feel more like a friend then a vendor. I wish them so much happiness and a heartfelt THANK YOU!

Big Love in the Lone Star State

I simply had a blast in Texas at Courtney and Michael's wedding June 17, 2011. They are an awesome couple and their friends were so much fun. I laughed harder then I have in a long time. Watching this family come together at the rehearsal dinner and preparing the reception hall, made it very clear they are loved by family and friends. And....I loved the two stepping...nice change from the Shag!

That Traditional Big Church Wedding

Stacey and Christopher had their traditional big church wedding on April 30, 2011 in beautiful Concord, NC. Stacey has one of those smiles that just warms your heart and Chris, well Chris is handsome and funny. They made a fantastic looking couple. Their wedding was big but it had all the charm and appeal of a down home good time. Their families were so welcoming to us and the groom's cake.....spectacular!
