Samantha + Alex 8.19.12

When I met Samantha and Alex for their initial consultation I just loved watching them interact and discuss their ideas for the wedding day.  I could see that they truly love and respect each other, their families, and their deep rooted cultural traditions.  I knew it was going to be a beautiful wedding!  

Samantha and Alex were married at The Carolina Inn.  If you're not familiar with the Carolina Inn or have never been there, it's worth checking out the next time you're in Chapel Hill!  Everyone at the hotel is amazing and the food was scrumptious!  

The uber-talented sisters at Tre Bella Flowers provided all the florals.  Let me tell you, those roses were even prettier in person!  Eddie Banout from Blissful Entertainment provided all the tunes for not only the reception, but also the ceremony.  Eddie did an amazing job keeping everyone on the dance floor!  Maxi B's Cakes out of Greensboro, NC provided the wedding cake.  

A super big "Thank You!!" to Leslie Keener of Elizabeth Scott Photography for capturing all these priceless moments from Samantha & Alex's special day.  Did I mention she was preggo with their first baby?!  Yeah, Leslie was a trooper!  Thank you for sharing with us!   

 

Kelly + Mark 9.8.12

Mark and Kelly were married on one of those typical late summer/early fall days we get to have here in good 'ole NC.  The leaves had just started to change, the sun was shinning, with a perfect temperature for outdoor mingling.  The ceremony was held at St. Bernadette's Catholic Church in Fuquay-Varina.  Following the ceremony, guests made their way over to Bass Lake Park in Holly Springs.  At the park, guests couldn't help but take in the beautiful views of Bass Lake and all the lush wildflowers. 
Cook Shack provided delicious BBQ and pulled pork!  We love working with these guys!  Stick Boy Bakery whipped up a super-yummy cake that all the guests were raving about!  Best part about Mark & Kelly's special day?  When that pesky rain came during their reception, no one let it ruin their fun!!  Practically everyone was out there dancing in the rain, having an amazing time!   
Special 'Thank You!' to Jeremy M. Lange Photography for sharing their amazing shots of Mark & Kelly's special day.        

Amy + Ben 9.2.12

Getting to work with Amy & Ben was such a special treat and I was so excited they had me come on board!  Their wedding colors were purple (my all-time favorite wedding color), bright green, and ivory.  Everything looked amazing!  Amy and her mom did an amazing job coordinating the wedding colors throughout the entire event!  They even made these homemade coconut bars as wedding favors that were delicious! 

Amy and Ben were married in the family temple, Temple Beth Or.  Following the ceremony, guests were welcomed with drinks and passed appetizers at 1705 Prime. 

North Raleigh Florist did an amazing job with all the flowers and centerpieces!  Randy Bennet from Joe Bunn DJ Company kept folks dancing all night long!  Ashley Cakes made the prettiest (and tastiest) cake!  I LOVE the cascading pearls and the anemones!  Thanks Ashley!  A special thanks to Carolyn Scott Photography for capturing all these fantastic shots!!  I can't wait to work with y'all again!  :)

Mia + Andre 8.11.12

In honor of Valentine's Day, I have saved a very special wedding that was only appropriate to post on the most romantic day of the year.  :)  

Mia & Andre had a "Love Story" wedding theme - their colors just oozed love and romance.  Different shades of purple, deep red, and pink.  The details in the ceremony programs, the centerpieces at the reception - it all said 'love story'. 

Mia and Andre were married in their hometown church in Greensboro.  Following the ceremony guests made their way over to The Terrace at the Greensboro Coliseum for dinner and dancing.  

A huge thank you to Misty Case with Pixels on Paper for her amzing work at capturing the love between Mia & Andre!

 

The English Garden did a fantastic job with Mia's flower arrangements!  Thanks ladies!    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And they lived happily ever after.

Katie + Zach

Katie & Zach were married on an abnormally mild July afternoon in one of the most romantic chapel's in Raleigh - All Saints Chapel.  This place just oozes history and I can only imagine how many other brides have walked down that very same aisle, anxiously waiting to join hands with their groom and start their lives as husband & wife.  :)   

Guests were welcomed to the ceremony by a very talented trio courtesy of Arioso Strings. 

Following the ceremony, guests made their way over to Cobblestone Hall, located in the historic City Market district in downtown Raleigh.   Catering Works welcomed guests with cool libations and tasty nibbles as everyone mingled and chatted over live music provided by Too Much Sylvia. 

Wake Forest Florist provided all the beautiful arrangements and bouquets for the ceremony and reception.  Great job WFF!

Cinda's Creative Cakes provided a classic chic (and super tasty!) cake for Katie & Zach. 

A special "Thank You" to Rebecca Mill of The Indie Image for sharing her amazing shots of Katie & Zach's beautiful wedding.  Rebecca - you did an amzing job capturing the the love these two have for eachother.  :)
