brooke and hap had a beautiful rehearsal dinner at a beach house on bald head island.  the house had an amazing deck the looked out over the ocean.

there were lots of tears, laughs and great toasts.  even mel and i were crying!

there was also a great slideshow, the story of brooke + hap.  : )

last night before they are husband and wife!

we had a lovely long weekend hanging out with brooke and hap and all of their wedding guests on bald head island.  they started off the long weekend with croquet and cocktails at the bald head island club. 

everyone in white...timeless!

the croquet attire ranged from classic to.....

fun!

sweet glasses!

this little heartbreaker came by the whitebox farm for his headshots but we couldn't pass up shooting some of his cutie-pie siblings too

oh what a beautiful day in n.c.  we love shooting at fearrington, especially when the bride and groom are so awesome!  they are lots of fun, super-nice and totally in love. 

i loved kristina's dress.  the little ruffled sleeves are so sweet.

gotta love a man who rocks a purple tie.

the ceremony was emotional.  lots of smiles and laughter....

and tears.

the band was rockin!

it was a very exciting sparkler exit.  at one point someone lit about 50 sparklers at once.  luckily no one's hair caught on fire!

best of luck kristina and jake!  now maybe you can get a dog.  : )

i can't believe noah is already six months.  we did his first set of photos at 2 months.  he has changed so much.  he is sitting up, smiling, and busy being a happy little guy.

sweet little pumpkin boy
