chris+leah :: married :: charlotte wedding photographer

​This weekend, we kicked off our wedding season with the wonderful celebration of Chris and Leah at the Hilton Charlotte University Place. I got the chance to know these two a couple of months ago when I photographed their engagement session, and I knew their wedding was going to be so much fun!

Leah flaunted her sense of style with some killer Gianni Bini rhinestone heels, a to-die-for 1920's style feather fascinator, and not one, but two wedding dresses. But even without all of those things, Leah would have been beautiful because her excitement to be marrying the love of her life radiated from her like sunbeams. It's always telling of a couple's personalities and relationship to hear their friends and family speak about them, and I can tell you that Chris and Leah's loved ones had only beautiful things to say about these two.

They concluded their epic celebration with a traditional New Orleans style second-line dance, which got everyone up and moving!​

Congratulations Leah and Chris! ​We wish you two all the best in life and love!

alena + robert :: greensboro wedding photographer

You may remember Alena and Robert from their engagement session on the blog a few months ago. Well, this weekend, Josh and I had the privelege of photographing their beautiful wedding (props once again to Veronica and her team at Behind the Scenes) at the Downtown Marriott in Greensboro, North Carolina.

We loved working with Alena and Robert; they are such a sweet couple and so much fun and their big day showed it. It was complete with a photobooth, a dollar dance (we don't see this tradition very much in the South), and even some breakdancing by the children in attendance (thanks to A&A Disc Jockey for providing some great tunes).

Without further ado, here are a few images from the day...

 

Shoes, shoes, shoes.... can you tell I love shoes? Especially the sparkly variety.

I knew from their engagement session that it takes some coaxing to get a smile out of Robert for the camera, but he was all smiles all on his own when he saw Alena descend down the aisle.

Alena and Robert - Thank you for allowing us to be a part of the day you became husband and wife. Wishing you all the very best married life has to offer!
