Wedding ~ Megan and Walter

posted by Lisa | filed under: Family Portraits, weddings

Our lovely couple, Megan and Walter, were married October 11th, 2008 at the Dye Country Club in Landfall. Megan wins our prize for best wedding dress of the year! THIS is a dress! We love the glamour of a great tiara and long veil with a simple classic up-do. Megan got it all right! The polka dot theme was so much fun- we especially loved the flower girl's polka dot dress with her glittery ruby red slippers! I think it was a record for the number of shoe photos taken at a wedding! Megan wore fantastic Betsey Johnson shoes- they were her something blue! They were the cutest shoes I have ever seen. They have faces on the bottom of the hot pink soles! The amazing flowers were designed by Fiore Fine Flowers. It was so much fun to be a part of Megan and Walter's wedding. They had a beautiful wedding ceremony and we wish them a lifetime of happiness! Congratulations Megan and Walter!

Snow Day!

posted by Lisa | filed under: Fun

It's a rare 'snow day' at the beach in Wilmington today. It is the first time that it has snowed since we moved here 3 years ago. It looks like a pretty snow globe when you look at the window. The kids are out of school today and they are roaming the neighborhood throwing snowballs at each other. Good times!

Wedding ~ Nina and Will

posted by Lisa | filed under: Fun, weddings

Nina and Will picked the perfect day for a beach wedding. The first Saturday in October is usually a safe bet for great weather. The ceremony was a true reflection of their love and personalities. The groom and all his friends are musicians so each of the groomsmen played a different instrument as they walked down the isle. Once at the altar, they played as Nina walked in. It was a great way to have music at an outdoor wedding. Their super cute dog was the ring bearer. It was a really sweet wedding that showed just how in love the couple is. We are so happy for them. Congratulations Nina and Will.

Wedding ~ Lisa and Boyd

posted by Lisa | filed under: Family Portraits, weddings

We had the pleasure of photographing Lisa and Boyd's wedding this September at The City Club. The wedding was a celebration that combined their two families. They placed special emphasis on making sure that the children enjoyed the wedding as much as the adults. The children enjoyed a special show by No Sleeves Magic. They did a great job entertaining the kids with their pirate act. There was also a caricature artist on the porch. Each child took home a funny caricature of themselves. The event was an intimate gathering that included something for everyone. They had such great details that really made the wedding special. The cake, done by Sweet T's Cakes, was modern yet elegant. The cupcakes that surrounded it were amazing with their hand piped frosting and edible glitter. The flowers were done by A Beautiful Event. They were absolutely beautiful and the subtle color palette accented the interior of The City Club. Congratulations Lisa and Boyd.

We had the pleasure of taking Amanda's bridal portrait. We were already booked on her wedding day so we set up a separate session just for her portrait. She was so easy going that it was easy to get these great photos of her. She made such a beautiful bride. Congratulations Amanda.
