aaron+erin :: married :: winston-salem wedding photographer
/
All of my couples whom I've photographed this fall have been nothing short of amazing, and Aaron and Erin are certainly no exception. I was especially excited for their wedding, because I knew, having met them last autumn for their engagement session, that Erin and I, well, we were kindred style spirits. She has such a great eye for design and finding beauty in simplicity (come on ... what photographer WOULDN'T love working with that kind of bride?), and I knew for certain that those things would shine through on her wedding day and make for some INCREDIBLE images.
I met Erin in the afternoon at the downtown Marriott in Winston-Salem, and despite maybe just a few nerves early on, once she saw her groom, these two were all laughter, joy, and soaking in every ounce of the day which they became husband and wife...
I am in love with these bridesmaids' robes Erin found on Etsy, and of course, she had to show off her deep love for Starbucks with these adorable bridal party lattes.
... on her way to meet her groom! I know I say it so much, but I absolutely love when a couple chooses to have a First Look. Such a sweet moment and lots of extra time for beautiful photos! Erin and Aaron's first look took place in Salem Square...
I think this is just the perfect example of how much fun these two have together... so much joy!
I just loved the friends and family Erin and Aaron chose to surround them on their wedding day... they were so helpful, a whole lot of fun, and they looked great, too (I'm more than a little obsessed with the floral bridesmaids' dresses and the men's grey shoes)!
Their lovely short-and-sweet ceremony was held on the covered bridge at Old Salem.
Isn't Erin absolutely stunning?! I love her classic, elegant style that lets her beauty speak for itself.
Their reception was held at the beautiful, contemporary Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts in downtown Winston-Salem, filled with lovely little details created by the bride herself, who is a very talented graphic designer.
I love couples who elect to donate to a charity in lieu of favors - what a great use of that portion of the wedding budget. Erin and Aaron made a contribution to the Human Rights Campaign and NC's local Second Harvest Food Bank in honor of their guests.
No wedding is complete without "The Wobble"...
