Rebecca & Davis 11.10.12

Rebecca and Davis was married on November 10th in Raleigh NC. The ceremony was held at the beautiful Jones Chapel on Meredith’s campus. It was such a precious site to see! The bride was so excited about seeing her nephew carrying the customized “Here comes Aunt Becky" sign! It was a special touch that helped make the moment the lucky couple said “I do” all the more intimate and special. 

After the gorgeous ceremony, the wedding party headed to the reception at the Raleigh Convention center. The convention center is down right BEAUTIFUL! They have dazzling ballrooms and some pretty cool locations for photography. Gene Raffel of Gene’s Mobile DJ Service announced the arrival of the bride and groom to the wedding reception. He played a wonderful soundtrack to their reception, keeping the love and excitement alive with music. Mel Day of the award winning Dogwood Tree Floral Designs decorated every table at the reception with a beautiful floral center piece. They also designed the bride's stunning bouquet of red roses! The wedding cake was made by Connie from Day D’ Amour Custom Cakes. It was beautiful! Jewels lined each layer and the top was decorated in a sphere of bright red roses. One of my favorite parts of this wedding was all the personal details and touches that they incorporated into their wedding. Both Rebecca and Davis love chocolate, so that had custom labels made for their Hershey's candy bar wedding favors. Needless to say, there weren't too many favors left at the end of the night! The whole night was amazing!

After a night of dancing, Rebecca and Davis exited the party in a sea of sparklers! We just wanted to say thank you to A.J. Dunlap from A.J. Dunlap Photographies. We absolutely LOVE working with A.J. and her husband! They are such a fun, cute couple. This is the second wedding I’ve been lucky enough to work with them. The other wedding I did with them was Jennifer & Brad’s wedding. 

Thank you Rebecca and Davis for letting us be apart of one of your special days! We are so glad you chose us to help you start your happily ever after! 

Jennifer + Brad 4.22.12

Jennifer and Brad were married on a cloudy Sunday afternoon in downtown Raleigh.  Most people think cloudy days make for dreary pictures, but it's actually the opposite!  Photographers love cloudy days when taking outdoor pictures!  The overcast clouds provide the best light and your subjects don't have squinty eyes!   okay, back to the wedding...  :) 

Their beautifully simple ceremony (and reception) was held inside Caffe Luna.  Guests were welcomed into the light and airy restaurant to the sounds of a harp played by Brittany Makely of Sisters on the Harp.   She did an amazing job!

After the ceremony, guests were invited into the main dining area for the cocktail hour and reception.  The team at North Raleigh Florist did an amzing job pulling together Jennifer's perfectly coordinated wedding colors and bringing her vision to life.   Jennifer had requested mainly peaches, ivory and soft greens for her floral pallete.  Which just-so-happend to blend perfectly with the restaurants decor!  It was wedding desity! 

Harrison Foster of Perfect Mix Productions kept the guests happy and entertained throughout the night - providing the perfect mix of classic dinner music followed by a play list that kept every dancing until the very last minute!

Cinda's Creative Cakes knocked it out of the park again - Jennifer's cake was stunning!  (and tasted amazing too!)

A HUGE "Thank You" to A.J. Dunlap Photography for sharing her amazing shots of the night.  You guys rock!

Hard to tell, but these cake pops are in the shape of a bowling pin a nod to where the love birds met.
