Josalyn and Patrick | Engagements

May

JosalynPatrickEpics_0001.jpg
I first met Josalyn three and a half years ago at a wedding that we shot for her sister, Jessica.  Of course, I was THRILLED when I heard the great news of her engagement and was even MORE excited when she booked us to shoot her and her fiance Patrick's wedding.  We are excited for this wedding for many reasons:

- It is sure to be chock full of beauty having been planned by Weddings and the City.

- The wedding is taking place at Charlotte newest uptown venue - The Foundation for the Carolinas (the old Mint Museum of Craft and Design).  I can barely stand to wait to see the renovation.

- Josalyn and Patrick are very cute and funny together....couple that with the fact that they are really relaxed, easy-going and just plain GOOD people...it's going to be a great one.  

Until then, please enjoy a few of my favorite shots from their engagement session.  :)

Lisa and Eric | Engagements

I knew I really liked Lisa and Eric from the first time I met them at our initial consult - we all hit it off from the get-go, so I was thrilled when they booked with us.  They are really down to earth and easy to get along with, which made taking their photograph for their engagement session very easy.  And, they are quite the creative pair - Eric is a filmmaker and Lisa a photographer.  

Can't wait for your August wedding, you two!   :)

MintMuseumWedding_IzzyLane__0001.jpg
In case you missed it, check out Part One of Izzy and Lane's wedding HERE.

Let me just say....when I walked into the reception space at the Mint Museum Uptown, I about died.  With the combination of florals from The Bloom Room and the vision and style of planner Maddie of Becoming Madeline....it was straight knocked out of the PARK.  This place was DRIPPING in pretty!

Reception - Mint Museum Uptown
Wedding Planner/Stylist/Invitations - Becoming Madeline Event Planning & Design
Hair - Amanda of The Blo Out Bar
Makeup - Julie Stepp
Bride's gown - Pronovias purchased from New York Bride and Groom
Bridesmaids dresses - J.Crew
Florals - Lynette of The Bloom Room
Videographer - Caravan Cinema Co.
Cake - Edible Art
Band - Groovetown
Catering - La-Tea-Da's

How cool is this?  Both Izzy and Lane's mother's wedding dresses were displayed - I've never seen that been done before and I loved it. :)

MintMuseumWedding_IzzyLane__0009.jpgMintMuseumWedding_IzzyLane__0010.jpgAnd this, my friends, was amazing.  Izzy's family choreographed and performed a dance for Lane...and it was hilarious. Everybody loved it.  At the end, they held up a sign that said "you're stuck with us!".  :)

p.s. can you guess what song they are dancing to here?

Charlotte Wedding - Izzy and Lane - Part One | Weddings

Apr
25

MintMuseumWedding_IzzyLane__0023.jpg
This wedding - Izzy and Lane's wedding - was. a. dream. Truly, everything about it was beyond beautiful.  The color palette, Izzy's dress, the succulents...and on and on and on.  You'll see what I mean the further you scroll. :)

Just a few of my favorite moments from their day:

- Izzy slipped into her dress on in another room from her - count them - FIFTEEN bridesmaids....it was just her sisters and mom with her, which was a special time as it was.  But then, as the doors opened back into the main room where the girls where waiting and they caught sight of Izzy, their mouths dropped open and gasped.  I loved it.  :)

- The moment Lane saw Izzy driving up in her step-dad and brother's restored car for their first look.  I can only imagine the anticipation of seeing his beautiful bride round the corner....BEAMING at him.  Once he saw her, his hands flew up in the air a little....like he was startled.  It was precious.  I loved the look in his eyes and the sweet smile on his face as she walked up to him.  

- As they exchanged wedding gifts on the trunk of the car, their heads neared in toward one another and they just rested quietly reading the words that the other had written.  The tenderness they have to each other is so touching - seeing them together made my heart swell.  

After I initially picked out 67 favorites, I knew I would be splitting this into a two part blog post.  So, for now, enjoy part one and be sure to check back tomorrow for their rustic, but modern (say what?!  yes....and it was awesome) reception at the Mint Museum Uptown.

Cheyenne & Geoff are the best of the best in wedding photography. Without having to set aside gobs of time away from the festivities to be in front of the camera, they captured everything authentically; genuinely...as it was happening. Thank you for being a part of Lane & Izzy's special weekend and sharing your rockstar talents with us. Your love for each other and the Lord is contagious.

Love these!!! The ones of them reading their cards at the first look are priceless. I know Maddie (Izzy's sister) from college & got to meet Izzy once... all I can say is I KNOW it was an incredible wedding because those two sisters are so special & there share an amazing bond. And 15 bridesmaids?! That is awesome!!

I typically don't blog the rehearsal dinners that we shoot, but I couldn't let an opportunity go by to show off the gorgeous floral work of Lynette of The Bloom Room!  Seriously....SERIOUSLY...her work is incredible.
