Wes and CJ Wed!

So, I didn't make you wait long did I? Here is Wes and CJ's wedding day! Sit back, get comfortable and enjoy! I love these guys and had such a fun time shooting this wedding, that this is going to be a long one! Not only are the bride and groom friends of mine, but a large number of the wedding guests/wedding party were as well. So fun! I was really glad that they trusted me to capture their special day. Now, enough chit-chat from me.. time for pictures!

The wedding and reception were held at the beautiful Stowe Manor in Belmont, NC. I love shooting in this kind of lovely historic site.

Pink!




The girls watching the festivities outside.

The girls toasted with miller..

Hydrangeas and colorful shoes are two of my favorite things!



The boys toasted with whiskey..

Bride and Groom!

I loved this shot of these ladies! Oh the limitless caption possibilities.

Shoes of choice...






They had a special Irish tradition in which their hands were wrapped together with a special cloth. I thought it was a neat and unique touch.

Married at last!




<3.


Ring shot...

Classy ring shot.


Great toast reactions!

I love it when bride and grooms families really seem to get along! Their mom's shared a dance:-)

Boys' club.

Mustache club. (PS. they're good people)

A rare photo of me, with my friend Wes (different from the groom).

Wes (the groom) getting some attention from the ladies!

Possibly one of my favorite pictures from the night, and also recently his FB profile pic:-). Love ya, Ricky!

Wes loves music, and has played a few bands. He enlisted some of our friends to play towards the end of the reception. It was so fun! And they played some great stuff. Wes sat in with them on almost every song too!

Then it got a little loud...

...and the cops came and shut it down! haha. But they were really nice about it.

So they played one last one to end the night:-)


Thank you guys so much for allowing me to share in your happy day! Both of your families could not have made me feel more welcome!
