Christine + Isaac | Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden Engagement Session

March 7, 2013 Posted inEngagement Session

“A conservatory…”

Bold but soft prints.  Spring but not too Easter.  Whimsy but still romantic.

And orchids.  Lots of orchids.

I have been wanting to get back out to Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden for quite some time, and after discovering Christine and Isaac’s love for this delicate flower (and their love for all things J Crew) – I just knew this was the perfect local spot for them.

“Hair down, loose and wavy.  Makeup defined, but light.  And a fashion-forward, but casual wardrobe.”

Christine loved.

And off she and Lindsey Regan Thorne went…to shop for goodies.

Thank you, Christine and Isaac for your trust in my art.  And thank you, LRT for helping to bring my vision and inspiration to life!!  It was so much fun!

And there she is…my walking party!

Beth + Jake | Urban Garden Wedding Charlotte, NC

March 6, 2013 Posted inWedding Day

“A Winter’s Day…”

From the moment I met her…I had to have it.  Her.  That ring.  The wedding!

And as she continued to gush and gush over her soon-to-be husband – I just swooned all the more.

Nestled into a comfy Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte suite with her closest friends and family – the champagne flowed and the beauty was abundant.

After an intimate in-suite first look, the nerves were calmed and the party began.

Beth and Jake are just crazy, undeniably in love with one another.  Makes my little heart flutter with joy to see such passion and warmth.

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. H!  Entirely thankful to be part of your very special day.

“Marriage…”

A dress.
A photographer.
A bouquet.
A makeup and hair stylist.
An officiant.

And their favorite park at sunrise on the first day of March.

I do.

For Meg and Aaron this is all they ever wanted or needed.

There are no words to describe just how humbly grateful I am to have been chosen as the one to be part of what only a couple of people witnessed.

Feeling very blessed.

Congrats, Mr. and Mrs. Moody!
