I’m just as excited to share Part II of Andrew and Savannah Alexander Homestead wedding as I was to share Part I. There are so many gorgeous portraits of these two in this post, I just couldn’t narrow them down. Andrew and Savannah had a stunning Rolls Royce pick them up and we got the opportunity to do some additional portraits at sundown with the car. It was an great combination and they tuned out amazing so be sure to scroll all the way down to see.

Enjoy this sweet couple!Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0026 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0027 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0028 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0029 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0030 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0031 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0032 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0033 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0034 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0035 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0036 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0037 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0038 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0039 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0040

See the couple below? On this very same weekend last year I was photographing John’s sister’s wedding as this very same location, when Lauren went in labor with their son, David. She made it to the hospital and delivered him within 3 hours. We had such a good time recounting the experience!Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0041 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0042 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0043 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0044 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0045 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0046 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0047 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0048 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0049 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0050 Charlotte Wedding Photographer- Alexander Homestead Wedding0051

Savannah and Andrew’s wedding was my first wedding of the season and it could not have been a more perfect day. These two were so easy to work with and are absolute naturals in front of the camera. The wedding took place at the beautiful Alexander Homestead which offered so many gorgeous backdrops. My favorite thing about the day though, was how in love Andrew and Savannah are… particularly how smitten Andrew is with Savannah. I love photographing love like this and it is such a reminder of why I love this job so much. Congrats Andrew and Savannah, it was such a joy to be apart of your day.

Ashley and Will’s wedding day was so great. The weather was the perfect temperature, their location (The Brakefield at Riverwalk) offered so many gorgeous options, and the bride and groom made the day so fun! When I look through these images, I am shocked every time with how absolutely stunning Ashley is. Kim with Who’s The Fairest did an amazing job on her make-up and she is already so naturally beautiful. Will kept us laughing as usual, so all in all the day was perfect. I am so excited to share this wedding, I love the way everything turned out.

Stay tuned tomorrow for Part II and make sure to scroll to the bottom for a full list of vendors. Enjoy this sweet couple!

As I mentioned in Part I, Annette and Keith are a complete joy to be around, so this made their reception a blast! It was such a blessing to see their families merge in such a loving way and celebrate the two of them together. After the reception, Annette & Keith headed off to Tuck & Caicos, the same place Matt and I went on our honeymoon. This was one of the many bonds we shared throughout the weekend and I am so happy to have been apart of such a wonderful time in their lives. Congrats, you two!Favorites0044Favorites0039 Favorites0041 Untitled-15 Favorites0046 Favorites0050 Untitled-17 Untitled-18 Favorites0052 Favorites0047 Untitled-21 Favorites0053 Untitled-19 Untitled-16 Untitled-14 Favorites0059 Favorites0060 Untitled-20 Favorites0061 Favorites0062Untitled-13

Annette & Keith are SO great. From the time that we arrived in Charleston for their gorgeous Nautical themed wedding, they treated us like we were apart of the family. Annette and Keith’s wedding at Creek Club at I’on was absolutely beautiful and no detail was left undone. I love the cobalt weaved into all the details. It was so clear how much these two love each other and how excited they were to start their lives as a married couple.

Congrats Annette & Keith! You guys bring joy to so many and I am honored to have been apart of your day!Details0024 Favorites0003 Favorites0005 Untitled-10 Untitled-8 Favorites0014 Untitled-7 Untitled-11 Untitled-9 Untitled-5 Untitled-6 Favorites0023 Untitled-3 Untitled-4 Favorites0026 Favorites0027 Favorites0028 Favorites0034 Untitled-2 Untitled-1

Not a single detail was left out of Hannah and Billy’s wedding. Ashley of The Graceful Host did a fabulous job and made my life so easy. Hannah and Billy were both beaming with love for one another and so excited about their big day. Our day started out with a beautiful ceremony at the lovely Dilworth United Methodist Church and then we headed to the oh-so-elegant Bonterra Dining and Wine Room for the reception. It is clear through these images how well loved Hannah and Billy are and I know they will not forget this incredible day for years to come. Congrats you two! It was such a blessing to be apart of your incredible wedding.

Words cannot describe how special the Boyer family is to me. 5 years ago when I returned from living in the Middle East everything was pretty unsure for me. I soon found a job nannying in the Boyer home for their 2 baby boys (at the time 8 months and just turned 3), and stuck around there well into my marriage and the start of my photography business. Not only did Leah and Bryan give me a job, being apart of their family and taking care of Eagan and Cannon daily played a huge role in making my transition easier in coming back to the States. It was at this time that I decided if and when I had little ones of my own, I wanted boys, which was a huge change from always wanting to be a mom of girls. These two guys definitely prepared me to be mom to my sweet little dudes!

Eagan and Cannon have since grown tall (Eagan as tall as me now!) and I have been dying to get them in front of my camera. So glad it finally happened. Enjoy this adorable family!

Miranda and Michael’s wedding day was a beautiful one. They were married at Carrigan Farms in Mooresville and we thankfully were met with very nice weather! This was a huge success considering how much it has rained this wedding season. Enjoy this sweet wedding and stay tuned for Part II!
