stacey + cary . rehearsal dinner

Millie | Weddings | charlotte nc

Stacey and Cary’s Rehearsal Dinner took place at a fun little pub, Ri Ra Irish Pub, in uptown Charlotte. One of my most favorite memories from this evening was seeing Cary serenade his bride-to-be with a surprise performance! After dinner, they enjoyed an evening with family and friends in a private suite at the Ritz-Carlton. Some guests graced them with both their presence and presents from as far as overseas. A fantastically fun night all around!

bev + josh

Amanda + Brent | Millie | Weddings | wilmington nc

Bev is a dear friend of mine. I remember when Bev first told me she had met Josh online and I remember the first time I met him. I knew right away that Josh was an incredibly sweet guy and just the kind of guy Bev needed. Someone who could handle a strong willed independent woman but someone who was also full of fun and laughter. That’s these two! It was such an honor to be there for them to photograph their big day and watch another chapter in their story begin. Bev and Josh, I can’t to see what life holds for the two of you!

jenna + steven

Millie | Weddings | wallace nc

Jenna and Steven’s wedding was full of moments I still run through my mind. From the beginning I could feel the closeness this family had with one another. All of them had endured moments of joy, moments of grief and loss and joy and peace again. You see, Jenna’s mother passed away before she could see this dream become a happy reality. Knowing the connection I have with my own mother, I can’t imagine the hurt for everyone involved.

Of course, Jenna’s smile reflects the strength she has and the way she looks at Steven, it is obvious that his whole heart belongs to her. The wedding was a dream come to life and one that Jenna’s mother would have imagined for her sweet daughter. From a horn section playing at the ceremony, to blueberry juice straight from the family farm (which was amazing) to the little dapper ring bearer who did an exceptional job of being adorable. Jenna and Steven, your day was beautiful and very heartfelt. I am so honored to have captured these moments for you. And a special thanks to my lovely photographer friend, Davina for being with me on this day!

Thank you to all of the wedding professionals who made Jenna and Steven’s wedding a dream!

Carrie and Josh were married this Spring overlooking the quaint little town of Wrightsville Beach, NC. Carrie happens to be the daughter of one of our dear friends in the wedding industry which made photographing this day all the more special. Carrie and Josh are fun-loving, full of adventure and ready for whatever life brings. Their wedding included all of that and more. From sweet moments shared during the first sight to the laughs shared by family and friends throughout the toasts, it was memorable from beginning to end. We are so glad we were there with them to experience their big day. Cheers to Carrie and Josh!

deana + patrick

Amanda + Brent | Weddings | wilmington nc

Deana and Patrick were married on the coast of Wilmington this past fall. To say that these two are a match, is simplifying it. The ebb and flow with them is great to experience. Patrick is passionate about life and loves to experience things to the fullest. Deana may seem quiet and composed, but she knows how to let go and throw down with the best of them. They both have a zest for adventure and believe it is best experienced together. Congrats again you two! Enjoy reliving the moments!
