Sarah and Joe’s ceremony and reception was held at the lovely Botanical Garden’s. The early fall air was perfect. Beautiful blue sky’s with puffs of clouds and an early sunset to capture fuzzy golden flares. Details were kept simple and classy. Overall the whole day was gorgeous. Thank you Sarah and Joe for letting me part of your special day!

What do you get when you combine a Croatian family with a Slovenian family, one crazy full on wedding that’s what. Keeping the ethnic traditions alive, the party started at the Grooms house with live music, and a shot of slivovice at the door.  There were so many fun little things that happened through out the day like their dog Napoleon (the cutest Pomeranian) dressed in his own formal wear hiding underneath the wedding dress. Oh and the 99 red balloons that swept into the sky as they made their exit. The 18 bridal party couples (36 people) had a tough time keeping it quiet in the library…who can blame them! The reception was held at the American-Croatian Lodge.  The inspiration was a combination of Asian influences such as Bonsai tree’s for center pieces, and pink tapestries. Overall I can’t get over how much fun this wedding was…needless to say these two are loved by many.

When I met Brittany for the first time, she told me the reception would be in a giant tent. Immediately my brain started clicking away with idea’s and inspiration. The ceremony took place at St. John of the Cross and the reception (tent) was at Quail Hollow Resort.  Every last detail was carefully crafted down to the handwritten heart shaped rocks, to the “B” and “J” wreaths at the entrance. Overall this pink and purple colorstory was so pretty, romantic, and everything had a lovely glow.  This was the kind of wedding were dad cried and friends partied hard because of how much love they love each other. Thank you so much Brittany and Justin for letting me be part of this gorgeous wedding.
