Paul and Janine are two of my favorite people. They are so kindhearted and tender towards one another and those around them that it is infectious! Their day included bright yellows and was all held at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens. From beginning to end there were so many smiles, laughs, and people just plain excited to see the two of them tie the knot. Their wedding was so beautiful I had the honored of their it being featured on Style Me Pretty. Thank you Janine and Paul for creating such a beautiful wedding and being so in love!

Tyler and Kirstie chose to meet and embrace minutes before the ceremony. The blindfold kept Tyler from seeing Kirstie until she walked down the aisle while still allowing them to hold hands and speak words of encouragement to one another.

Shurn and Erin’s carnival themed wedding was a blast! The entire event was held at Erin’s parents farm in Van Wyck, SC. Erin had planned so many details perfectly with her vintage pin bouquet, the groomsmen’s custom bow ties, cotton candy machine, candied apples, kissing booth and so much more! Something Classic did an excellent job on the food and Audio To Go kept the party going.

Shurn & Erin’s wedding was featured in the most current issue of Carolina Bride. Special thank you to Carolina Bride for their continued support of our photography. Enjoy!

Bride and Groom embracing in front of a tree in New Hampshire

This was the first wedding we captured after our very own wedding and to make it even more special, this wedding was in New England. I love New England for obvious reasons, it’s where I grew up, and Nathan loves it because it’s just absolutely beautiful. We were honored to capture Grace and Andrew’s wedding day. We hope you enjoy!

Bride and groom kissing in front of fountain in uptown Charlotte

This uptown wedding was held from beginning to the end at the Charlotte City Club. Jenny & Steve took an alternative approach in many areas of the day. Instead of having attendants, they chose to have their closest friends and family surrounding them as they prepared. Instead of a cake, they had an ice cream bar. Instead of a guest book, their were gold & silver sharpies for guests to sign an extra large bottle of wine.

When we first met Jenny, her hope was to have the best party, and that she did!
