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.  : )

the wedding from around the world! 

lakshmi and brendan had wedding number one in brendan's homeland of australia.  then they had an east meets west wedding in nc, a traditional indian ceremony in durham at the fabulous new venue the cotton room.

the entrance

brendan waiting to see his bride and to throw rice at her.  this determines who is in charge in the relationship.  : )

lakshmi's grandmother

brendan putting toe rings on lakshmi and walking the 7 circles.

i love how involved the families are in indian ceremonies.

the reception

this is special food that the bride and groom feed each other.  isn't it beautiful?

lakshmi and brendan, good luck on your move to england!

i heart awesome clients like karen and kevin! 

we traveled up to annapolis for their big day.  

we had lots of time to do a first look and walk around town for photos.  it is a good thing that karen had plenty of time built in to her timeline.  there were some wardrobe complications!  how many guys does it take to tie a tie? 

knitting needles and lots of hands helped get all of the tiny buttons on karen's dress buttoned up....eventually!  : )

adorable flower girls!

love these two that mel took!

it was a beautiful day in the picturesque port.

karen and kevin live in boston, so this mural was perfect!

gorgeous light in the church.

party time!

congrats guys!

as promised, part deux of ashley and walter's awesome costa rican wedding!

meet walter, the groom.

the ladies. i love that the guests were in on the color scheme!

ashley, the lovely bride.

the guys.

the ceremony was held on the HOT, but gorgeous beach in manuel antionio park.

ashley's dad is had a tilt shift that he let us play with. : ) thanks jeff!

i love these two!

the cutest flower girl in all of costa rica!

the officiant / good buddy of the groom.

ashley and walter like to mix it up a bit. these are the most fun "formals" that we have ever shot!

we caught the sunset on the beach and then headed back to the villa.

then the parrrrr- tay began! wigs, delicious food, karaoke, great toasts, swimming, what else could a girl ask for?

wow, talk about good timing!  the weekend before jessica and shawn's wedding was 30 degrees and snowy.  we had a huge turn around in weather and it felt like spring on their big day.

details at the carolina inn.

the wedding colors....carolina blue of course!

my favorite shot of the day!

we LOVE our new 50mm 1.2.  it is an awesome lens for dance shots in low light.

jessica and shawn- we hope you have an amazing time in paris and rome!  thanks for being such an amazing couple to work with. : )
