Kelly + Jon | Urban Garden Wedding

“International Love…”

Meet Kelly + Jon.  Married on October 15th at the beautiful Urban Garden.

I walked into her suite and stopped dead in my track when I saw The Dress.  And then when she put the dress on….Ahhhhhhhhhhhh…it took my breath away again.  It was HER dress.  Perfectly made to fit her like a glove.  And the most exciting part I thought – “I get to photographer HER!!!”

The day flowed like wine.  Their closest friends and family flew in from all over the world which included Russia and India.  It was most certainly one of the most internationally diverse weddings I have attended…of which I loved!!  Passing by and hearing the different languages, accents, clothing…it was exactly what I picture Heaven to be…all of us together as one!

Thank you, Kelly and Jon for allowing us to be part of your big day.  Welcome to Charlotte – I am so happy to know that you are now calling it HOME!!

Snow White and Optimus Prime | Halloween 2011

“Trick or Treat…”

Words cannot even begin to express the love and adoration I have for my family.

Simply put…

They are my everything.

As they grow, it seems like each holiday gets better and better.  And this year, they certainly grasped what it meant to “Trick or Treat” – and boy did we get some Treats!!

My husband and I debated back and forth on whether we were going to dress up – until this past weekend when we called it…nah.  We’ll dress up next year.  And then on the actual day…we felt bad not doing this for our precious twinkies that we ultimately decided to wing it and use what we could scrounge up (thank you, Judy and Debbie for the backup’s!!).

So Daddy became a Jokester/Clown, PapPap a Construction Clown, Grandma was Ragedy Ann, Mamaw was a Kitty Cat and I was a Red Riding Hood/Clown/Choir Girl combo (and Auntie Tiffany was ‘Jenny’ from Forest Gump!).  But despite how silly we looked (mainly mommy and daddy) the twinks LOVED it and kept telling all of us how beautiful we were and how much fun they were having.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

I hope you enjoy this little snippet into our Halloween.  The jumpstart of the holiday season is well underway…and so far Fall has been amazing to us!!!  Incredibly blessed!!

And now…meet Snow White and Optimus Prime!!
