Off to the chapel… also filled with handmade, amazing goodness. I love these bird nest wreathes!
I love this eccletic style!! LOVE it!! All the programs were different too!
Awesome church, awesome seat covers.. stunning!
It’s about that time
Ashley walked down the aisle to Glosoli by Sigur Ros. PLEASE listen to it - I had some MAJOR goosebumps. Inexplicable.
All friends & family came up & prayed over them before the ceremony even started
They served all of their wedding guests communion. Also awesome.
Ashley has so much love in her heart for this little girl & her brother. She babysat them for years & years & they love her too!
The whole gang again, but chillin’
Time for the cake reception!!
And wow - there was cake! and cake! And more cake!!!
Yep. I love this too.
All by hand…
And more… even peacock feathers. You know I adore her!
Time to dig in to all that cake!! Gimme!
It’s only right to set these rings free on some birds…
The end
But not before a bird seed pummeling. Thank you Ashley & Brandon. Thank you SOOO much!

Back in April 09 I photographed Brittany & Will’s beautiful fairy tale wedding at the Preston Woodall House. From the big princess dress to all the pink - even Will’s socks - everything screamed fairytale. Well, ok, the thing that screamed fairytale to ME was the candy buffet!
Once upon a time there was a princess dress…
Brittany’s niece is soo incredibly cute & such a happy baby!
Just look at her! ahhh!!!
Fresh & clean Bridesmaids - CHECK
Here’s Will… just waiting. Right before the ceremony is always such a horribly wonderful moment!
Brittany & her mom are super close and I love how much I can see in her mom’s face here
Speaking of eyes… this just gets me all ferclemped!
Now this is a Hollywood kiss right here!!
Dude. Intense.
Yeah! Details!
What’s going on here?!
Oh - his groomsman just drank too much, grabbed a microphone & sang some Garth Brooks
Ok, ok, ok… it’s funny. haha - Awesome ending to an awesome day!

Back in the day I photographed Nick & Courtney’s engagement session on the football field at Wake Forest and I LOVED it because it was so unique. I was super excited to head back there for their wedding!! It was a rainy day, but beautiful nonetheless..
It was such a HUGE affair, I had both Dan Klutz, a friend photographer of mine in Charlotte, and Amanda help me out! So, you’ll be seeing some of their images sprinkled in with mine here. With a crowd of 300 people & the largest church I’ve ever shot in, the Wait Chapel, I felt more back up couldn’t hurt!
How awesome is this view for all their guests?!?!
Nick getting pretty
Dan got this awesome shot of the dudes
Details! I’m actually showing some details!
Courtney is so beautiful & surrounded herself with some other beautiful ladies
Speaking of Courtney being so gorgeous, why not stop & show you some of her bridals?!
Courtney’s brother had the ushering thing DOWN
There were so many precious little boys there waiting to do their BIG job!!
These cuties did a great job! Running & making noise - that’s what boys do best!
Rain & limited time didn’t stop them from getting some nice couple shots

On to the reception, back at the Wake Forest stadium
Time to tell you about some products… The Guestbook! This is something I love to do with engagement pictures I take
Here’s another Guestbook from a different wedding, but it had an open design which allowed for names & notes! I love this!
Canvas Prints - BEAUTIFUL. What an incredible way to make a timeless piece of art
There were about 10 Big Screens here & Courtney had their engagement images on slideshow on all the TV’s!
I could feel a smashing on the horizon… look how mischievous Nick looks here!!
But Courtney can take care of herself!
Everybody loves a band
Well, most everybody.
People love a bride that does the sprinkler. It can make you go crazy.
Supposedly cell phones can double as a microphone
Pom Poms as a send off - perfect!

Before the wedding came the engagement… and me & my friend Rebecca photographed these two all over Raleigh at different times..
And watch out! My plan is to blog something every to every other day until 2009 has been documented here! Hold on cause it was a crazy ride..
Hahaha… I’m sick cause this is just funny to me.
Jamie’s fabulous blue truck
Thank you Pearl Jam for the rearview tune that was in my head when I shot this rearview pic
These two love some country livin’
And Coke cola
Why is rain so sexy in a picture but not so much in real life?!
