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!

carrie + josh

Amanda + Brent  |  Weddings  |  wilmington nc

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!

nicole + skyler . wedding

Amanda + Brent  |  Weddings  |  mt airy nc

After an amazing rehearsal dinner under the evening sky, we were excited to see what the actual wedding day would hold. It did not disappoint! Nicole’s house was full of laughter, tears of joy and lots of ladies running around getting ready.
Skyler and Nicole chose to have a first look, so we arranged for them to meet one another outside of the church they were to be married in. We always love sharing and capturing these moments with our clients. Each one is different and unique.
The ceremony was equally sweet and everyone was ready to celebrate at the reception. We quickly learned that the party was going to be amazing. The reception site was beautiful and the band was spot on. To top it off, there were even fireworks at the end of their exit!

nicole + skyler . rehearsal dinner

Amanda + Brent  |  Weddings  |  pilot mountain nc

Brent and I enjoyed quite a bit of travel during the wedding season last fall. One of those weddings brought us to the NC mountains, where the trees were splashed with many different oranges and reds. Nicole and Skyler’s wedding weekend was gorgeous and it started with a rehearsal dinner in Pilot Mountain. The JOLO Winery and Vineyards was a gem, settled in the heart of the countryside. The evening was complete with beautiful flowers, delicious food and lots of stories shared by friends and family of Nicole and Skyler. It was a perfect beginning to a wonderful weekend!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stay tuned for the second half of the weekend that includes many more beautiful moments and an unforgettable party coming your way on the blog tomorrow.

Thanks to all who helped make Nicole and Skyler’s wedding weekend amazing!
