Josalyn and Patrick.  Love them.  Geoff and I really just enjoy being around them - separately and together - they are a really hilarious couple.  

The pair were married mid-May in Charlotte's newest uptown venue - The Foundation for the Carolinas.  I absolutely LOVE the rooftop terrace - such an awesome ceremony location.  

Josalyn and Patrick - thank you so much for allowing us to photograph your wedding!  We are blessed to know you and hope to see you soon.  BEST of the best wishes to you two - y'all were made for one another.  xoxo.

CarlyAlEpics_0001.jpg
Over this past weekend, we had some pretty high temperatures here in Charlotte.  Carly and Al's engagement session was scheduled for Sunday, which was slated for the high to be 100+ degrees.  Normally, I would probably suggest we reschedule, but being that Carly and Al live in San Francisco AND the fact that they are getting married THIS weekend, that wasn't an option.  

Geoff and I left the house armed with a cooler full of cold bottled water.  The sky?  The sky was ominous.  The rumbles of thunder sounded.  Uh-oh.  

As soon as we hopped on the freeway headed to our meeting spot for the shoot....it began to pour.  And Carly and Al - who were coming from the opposite direction - were also driving through the pouring rain.  Her hair and makeup was done and Al had to head out of town the next day for work.  Again, rescheduling was not an option.  We decided to push on to our location to see what we were working with.  Perhaps we would catch a break?  

Did we ever!  Seems like we picked the ONLY spot in ALL of the Charlotte region that it had not rained.  AND, over the course of the shoot, it got down to 83 (!) degrees!  It was PERFECT.  We were definitely hit with some serious favor from God that night.  

Taking pictures of Carly and Al together was fun.  And inspiring.  And comfortable.  Perhaps it's because they are photographers (view their website HERE) and know how to "turn it on" for the camera.  Or perhaps it's because they knew they were getting married in a short few days and were giddy with excitement.  Regardless of the reason, they needed very little direction and photographing them felt effortless.  

Carly and Al - thank you for being so wonderful.  Can't wait for this weekend!  :)

Cheyenne and Geoff,

This shoot was such a JOY. An absolute joy. You two have incredible gifts from God and we are incredibly grateful that you were able to help us capture this special time in our life. And, this shoot will forever stand out in my mind as one of the biggest "miracle" shoots ever - God was definitely on our side. We are humbled, we are blessed and we are thankful. Thank you both - we can't wait for you to capture our sweet wedding weekend ahead!

Kelly and Clint will be married in just a few short weeks!  Geoff and I were so grateful to have the chance to spend a little time with them before wedding day is here.  How cute are they?  Especially with these colorful balloons - cute!

KerianneAdamWedding_0001.jpg
It's kind of hard to put into words what a special wedding this was to be a witness to.  But, I'll try.  :)

First of all, it was such a pleasure to photograph at this venue - Yesterday Spaces.  As I understand it, it's a newer venue in the Asheville area that I'm sure will be booming with business in a minute.  It's got a great old farmhouse decorated in the loveliest of antiques, which is where Kerianne and her girls got ready.  There is a long line of huge trees leading to the lawn where the ceremony took place....also under a huge tree.  Seeing Kerianne and her dad walk the processional through the trees was breathtaking.  And then, there's a huge lawn where they provided games for guest to play.  So fun.  

Let me tell you about Kerianne and Adam.  This girl - Kerianne - is probably one of the most genuine and caring people I've met.  Example....when she got word that Adam and the guys were running a little late to the house where they were to get ready, she was so upset and moved to tears that Geoff had been inconvenienced and had to wait for them (which was NOT a big deal in the least, of course).  You can tell, she has a deep concern and care for others.  And Adam....let me tell you how he loves her.  Of course, the look in his eyes when he saw her coming up through the trees and down the aisle said it all.  But then, after the bridal party and family had recessed and we were in between moments, I glanced over to see Adam holding on to Kerianne - his face buried in the crook of her neck with his eyes squeezed shut.  It was precious.  This guy....oh, how he loves her.   

For now, enjoy part one of this beautiful day.  Check back on Monday for portraits and the reception!
