A-maz-ing. Tammy and Cecil’s small morning wedding was held in a tiny little church in Highlands, NC, up a winding, woodsy path; theirs will be the last wedding the “Church in the Wildwood” ever hosts. They are unbelievably in love, and their ceremony was so spontaneous and emotional and real. Their singer had an angelic voice, and during her second song the bridesmaids were crying, Cecil’s mom was crying, Tammy was crying, and the almost-newlyweds were basically slow-dancing during the song. It was beautiful, and I couldn’t help but cry with them!

Fortunately, I can sniffle and shoot at the same time. I promised Cecil a sneak peek before I get the “real” blog post up; what you’re about to see is just the tip of the iceburg in terms of smoking-hotness! Tammy and Cecil are SO not scared to do whatever I ask, including lay in a bee-filled patch of wildflowers and pull off the side of the road on a whim, not to mention the massive quantities of chemistry these two have!

During the ceremony…so sweet…no wonder we all teared up, right?

I’m at a loss for words, I just love this shot!

Smo-kin’…

Their after-work reception was back in Greenville at The Lazy Goat–super cool lounge-y feel with awesome views of the Reedy River…

How’s that for a preview, folks? 🙂

Ashley and Garron had a gorgeous wedding in May at Rock Barn Golf and Spa in Conover, NC. I LOVE outdoor weddings, and this one was perfect–tons of bright flowers, a warm sunny day, lots of friends and family, many personal touches, and a super-fun reception. Ashley’s Maid of Honor was my close friend Marilynn, and I’ve enjoyed becoming friends with Ashley over the months as she’s planned for the wedding, we shot her portraits, went out on the town for her bachelorette party, and finally celebrated her marriage to Garron. As with Ashley’s bridal portraits, I have waaaaay too many favorites to choose from, so I’m just going to let the photos speak for themselves!

Gorgeous details and the “Rock Barn” initials…

Ashley’s colors were shades of yellow and navy…

When I went to take photos of Garron and the guys, I found them practicing their putting. Hey, how long does it take to put on a suit, anyway? Pleeeeenty of time to improve their game before the ceremony! 🙂

Getting some last minute touch-ups…

…and checking out the crowd to see who’s arriving!

This was such a sweet moment as the minister prayed God’s blessing over the rings and the union they symbolize.

And nothing but joy as those rings go on!

On to the reception…

And finally…the happy couple!

Congratulations Ashley and Garron! You guys have the most wonderful family and friends, and I am so glad you chose me to be a part of your wedding. Can’t wait to come to the beach and see y’all again soon!

Family and Friends: Be on the lookout in the next week or two for the online posting info for all the proofs!!
