Sarah & John: Married

May 16th was Sarah's day to be princess. She was an absolutely gorgeous bride at a beautiful ceremony where she became Mrs. Sarah Moore. She and John were married early Saturday afternoon surrounded by friends and family. They were such a fun couple to shoot! Afterwards, we took the bride and groom for some shots alone in the park. Gorgeous!

Congrats to you both!!

Bryan & Meghan: Engaged

A House Divided. Or at least that's what their Save the Date cards say. You see, Bryan is a Duke Blue Devils fan and Meghan is a UNC Tar Heels fan. Therein lies the problem. Their wedding on May 30th will be an "historic event" (quoting the Save the Date again). We're pretty confident they'll make it work though!!

Amy & Chris: Married

May 9th started out hot and sunny. By 4:30pm (an hour before the ceremony) it was a mad scramble to put the tent back together, save the flowers and linens, and pray for sun amidst the thunder and lightning. By 5:30pm Amy and Chris were married under a beautiful sunny blue sky.

Congrats to the both of you!!

Everything I needed to know...

This morning in my routine blog reading, I came across a wonderful idea on Holly Furtick's blog. In a tribute to Mother's Day, I wanted to share some lessons and notable sayings from my mother.

It started with the question: "MOM! Have you seen my _______?" And was followed by: "It's wherever you left it." Then came the 5 words I hated hearing because it meant I was on my own: "Seek and you shall find." This phrase was most often used in my house during the frantic tearful search... many times at the very last minute possible. To this day, when I can't find something the first thing that pops in my head is "It's wherever you left it. Seek and you shall find."

During any movie or tv show with questionable content I got: "Now Christy, is that right?"

Then of course there was the time I was home visiting from college and she said "Christy, I'm gonna teach you how to cut a whole chicken."

And whenever I was too "sick" to go to school I was told "If you REALLY feel like you are too sick to go to school I'll let you stay home." Which was generally followed by me feeling guilty for trying to make my runny nose seem like the flu. Which ultimately led to me attending school with a box of kleenex.

And my personal favorite:
"Don't drive when you're tired. You might kill a small family."

Thanks Mom!

Desirae & Justin: Married

Congrats to Desirae and Justin who became Mr and Mrs Butler on April 11th! The wedding took place at the gorgeous Ballantyne Resort overlooking the golf course. It was absolutely beautiful and the bride looked stunning! After the ceremony there was a fabulous Tiffany's inspired reception complete with a candy bar! After the reception we got to meet up with Desirae and Justin in Uptown Charlotte to have a little photo shoot fun. The couple met while working for Bank of America, so of course we had to get some pictures!!

Congrats to both of you! Enjoy!
