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!

uly 16th started out a bit gloomy, but there was really nothing that could keep this bride and groom down! I don’t think Kesley stopped smiling the entire day. It was an utter joy to be a part of Kesley and Patch’s wedding, engagement shoot and bridals. I knew they were an extraordinary couple and that their wedding would be extra special even at our initial consult. Their joy for life, one another and family, friends, strangers… was so evident.

Their ceremony was held at Belmont Abbey College and their reception was held at the Charlotte City Club. They surprised their guests with Irish dancers and Kelsey surprised us as she took the floor and displayed her talent in dance!

Congrats to Kelsey & Patch!
