I hope all of you had a fabulous Labor Day weekend! Ours was filled with yard work, housework, grilling burgers, and best of all, the beautiful wedding of Justin+Jamie at the Weir-Jordan House in Greensboro.​

I'll be posting some images from their celebration later this week, but I just couldn't wait to share photos from Jamie's bridal session earlier this summer. We traveled to the gorgeous Duke Gardens in Durham, NC, and despite getting caught in a torrential downpour just miles from the venue, the evening turned out just lovely. The garden setting was absolutely perfect for this bride's classically elegant look, and I'm thrilled to share with you some of my favorites from the session...

You may remember Tim+Ashlea from their beautiful farm engagement session a couple of months ago or Ashlea's bridal portraits that were posted to the blog just a few days ago. We were introduced to these two through mutual friends not long after we moved to North Carolina, and we were so excited when they got engaged and asked us to photograph their wedding!

It was a gorgeous, albeit a very hot, day down at the lovely Childress Vineyards in Lexington. The bridal party and guests were all troopers withstanding the 100+ degree temps to see them become Mr. and Mrs. (the wine slushies were especially helpful in keeping everyone cool... just one of the many benefits of getting married at a winery), and the newlyweds were awesome for putting up with the heat and humidity to get some great photos in the vineyards.

Just look at those shoes! Ashlea is a girl who LOVES bling.

I am in love with this sweet moment that Josh captured from afar of Ashlea's daddy walking her down the aisle... a good father/daughter moment gets me every time!

Aren't they just stunning?!?

Tim+Ashlea :: Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your very special day! We had such a great time with you and all your guests, and we are so grateful to have you two as friends! Hope you're living it up and having an amazing time in Jamaica :)
