From the Bride:

OK! WOW! SO I’ve been on the phone with my sister and we went over these photos over and over! YOU DELIVERED EVERYTHING I HAD HOPED FOR AND THEN SOME! You captured all the joy and fun and happiness and goofiness and seriousness and love that all these people have for one another, not just Glenn and I but the whole special group. It feels like this was how I wanted the pictures to turn out and you made it real! I cannot wait to see the rest, what a completely satisfying moment for GLenn and I!

I have to tell you how homemade this wedding was. I think you’ll enjoy it.  My husband to be did my hair, for his first time and got it perfectly. I honestly believe the deeper coloring made it photograph better and made my eyes pop bluer in the pics! It just worked! And you were right, the lighting was beautiful!

I called to order flowers a few months ago…the bill was going to be ridiculous…so I called Harris Teeter and asked if I could order flowers there and make my own. They let me! So…even though the other  florist places were way cool, since I had done flowers in a past job, I couldn’t overpay by a few thousand dollars….seriously, so I did them. They had dreamy flowers, really, for all the flowers and enuf leftover to fill the bathtub it cost less than the quotes I got for the bride bouquet alone. Truly!  So we pooled our abilities, (Glenn and I made the pies, ironically he was a pastry chef in another life and could have made a fabulous wedding cake, he did both his sister’s cakes, but we like pie better..) He tortured me with mock up wedding cakes to sample and pick from only to decide we liked fruit pies best! Glenn is a mad good cook, so he knew to ask the right questions for the caterers and they were FANTASTIC!

All in all it was a wedding with tons of personal touches throughout- and then adding the cast of characters these families unite, photo -op heaven.

Extremely satisfying, I’m just so pleased already I cannot tell you!  I think they are so fun and so well done- they speak volumes for your talent and should be shared. I feel like the emotional happiness was captured- and everything came together to really make them extra special- mother nature included! Just exceptional. – All My Best, Heidi

5 guests and Us – Eloping in STyle at the Sanderling Resort in Duck, NC

August 24th, 2010

I love the Sanderling in the Outer Banks, NC for any size wedding, so I was excited to be called into this intimate affair there in July.  There were only 6 of them, the couple, parents and a nephew.  I arrived to the groom trying to figure out how to put his flower one, she was there helping him, beforehand, the most sweet and innocent girl you have ever seen.  Her demure of southern charm set the stage for this very short ceremony of laughs, hugs, and true true love.  When I was taking the photos I mentioned they couldn’t take their eyes off of each other, she laughed and in her southern drawl said, “Yes, we are SO in love” giggling, they headed off to the beach, hanging out for ten minutes insistent on not one single posed shot, truly “hanging out” with each other.  If only everything in life couple be this simple and perfect.

Carova, Seaside Simplicity – one of theTop 10 Secluded Beaches in the US

We love Carova, it is past Corolla on the Outer Banks of NC.  The only way to get there is by sand road, which makes it deserted and remote.  The untouched sand, gorgeous greenery and long deserted beaches make me remember why I moved to the Outer Banks.  This couple stayed 10 miles up this road, NOBODY was around.

Carova Beach, North Carolina

This barrier beach covers the upper stretches of the Outer Banks, North Carolina, and is the most undeveloped of an already spartan beach chain. Part of what keeps the region mellow is the lack of paved roads, with Highway 12 stopping north of Corolla. Four-wheel drive is a must, as the only route to these secluded U.S. beaches is a ride on the sand or a primitive system of dirt roads connecting vacation homes in the wooded interior. Drive slowly to see the wild horses (some are descendants of shipwrecked Spanish mustangs) that roam the protected dunes.

Although it doesn’t match the above photos, I just had to put in this tid-bit.  The groom wanted a Ken and Barbie look for his cake topper.  Rene Landry from Blooms went for it, using pink sparkles for bathing suits.  This Ken and Barbie cake topper photo made it to her Naughty Florist website, show us more, Rene, we love it!
