NC Wedding - Stephanie and Scottie

Scottie looks relaxed doesn't he? I'll tell you a little secret.

This photo was taken after the wedding ceremony.

Now, we'll go back to the beginning...

Waiting for the bride and groom.

Love the blue and orange colors.

Turned out beautifully.

Stephanie and Scottie had fun with my props.

Rings, a symbol of promises made.

Private (almost) First Dance.

Wonderful wedding day.

Tom and Mary Jane - Fall wedding at RiverMist

Tom and Mary Jane wanted to get married outside but was a little concerned about a November wedding. As it turned out the weather was absolutely perfect for their fall wedding.

I watched from the deck as the guests arrived. Several people had traveled from Florida for this special day.

Walking to the covered bridge.

I think everyone had a camera.

"Mary Jane and Tom, you have known each other from the first glance of acquaintance to this point of commitment. At some point, you decided to marry. From that moment of yes to this moment of yes, indeed, you have been making promises and agreements in an informal way....."

From "Union by Robert Fulghum

 What a special ring bearer. Notice the bouquet.

 

 How nice to include canine family.

Beautiful engagement ring.

And the happy family.

Lovely Bride.

And a guest insisted on this photo.

So nice to be surrounded by people who love you.

What a great start for a marriage.

Benediction of the Apaches 
Now you will feel no rain,
For each of you will be shelter to the other.
Now you will feel no cold,
For each of you will be warmth to the other.
Now there is no more loneliness for you.
For each of you will be companion to the other.
Now you are two bodies,
But there is only one Life before you.
Go now to your dwelling place,
To enter into the days of your togetherness.
And may your days be good and long upon the earth.

Private wedding in North Carolina

Any idea what Cole is watching.

Oh yes, it's Cassandra, his bride.

 

In just a few minutes, husband and wife.

 No doubt Cassandra is happy.

'May these rings serve as a reminder of the freedom and power of your love.'

First Dance. Dreams do come true!

 Smiles, smiles and more smiles.

Carrying his bride across the theshold, a time honored tradition.

Time for cake.

And a first toast. 

We took a few more photos then left the newlyweds alone to celebrate.

Colour Comes To The Country - Real Wedding

Welcome to the wonderful Wedding of Holly and Josh, who married on Folly Farm in Bristol in March this year.  The energy, warmth and fabulous colours in their Wedding photos tell a fabulous tale about the couple themselves with so many personal touches and quirky ideas. This real Wedding will definitely brighten up your day. 

"Our wedding was by far the best day of our lives. We were exceptionally lucky with the weather, with blue skies and sunshine all day following a very heavy downpour the night before." 

"My dress was custom designed and made by Abigail Westrup Bridal. Having my own dress designed and made for me was one of the highlights of the wedding planning. It was designed to suit my shape and style and along the way we made changes and tweaks so it is truly one of a kind."

"I made the decorations, favours, cakes and invitations with help from friends and family - it really made the day special seeing all that effort we had put in being enjoyed by everyone."

"We only looked at one venue and as soon as we visited Folly Farm, we knew it was 'The One'.  The live string quartet for the ceremony and drinks reception really gave us an opportunity to add a personal touch to the day. We signed the register to music from one of our favourite films."

"The bridesmaids were in fifties inspired floral dresses with petticoats and they really made the day feel like a spring celebration."

 Huge thanks to the wonderful Paul Smith Studios for supplying the fantastic photographs.
