Dustin and Lindsey Wedding, Landrum, South Carolina

Dustin and Lindsey met through Plenty of Fish and had many of their first dates in the morning at the gym before Lindsey went to class. But their first official date was at Dave and Busters where Lindsey kicked Dustin’s butt at ski ball but he rocked it at basketball. But at the end of the night they had their first kiss and have been together for four years.

They planned a trip to California to the Santa Monica Mountains where they climbed to Inspiration Point. Lindsey was resting next to a pillar with a camera in her hand while Dustin fumbled around in the back pack telling her to hold on. She turned around and there he was on one knee and asked the big question. Lindsey said that it was so beautiful! There was all of California on one side and then ocean on the other.

They chose this venue because their first dates consisted of hiking and chasing waterfalls and panoramic views. Dustin moved to upstate South Carolina from Mississippi and had never hiked but loves the mountains. So it was natural that they were actively seeking adventure.

Ben & Christin Herring, Asheville, North Carolina

This wedding and venue is probably one of my favorites so far!  Not only was the venue, Addison Family Farms, was amazingly beautiful but the wedding party themselves were so great to work with.  I love a good small ceremony.  It makes things laid back and very intimate and a little less stressful for everyone involved.

Here's some of my favorites from that day.

Tommy & Sherri Rock Bottom Pond, Ridgeway, South Carolina

Tommy and Sherri met a long time ago in a galaxy far away.  Just kidding!  They met through family, went their separate ways and came back to each other in the restaurant that Sherri's daughter was working at the time.  

After NINE YEARS together, Tommy finally asked Sherri to tie the knot.  It was a very bittersweet day on Saturday at Rock Bottom Pond in Ridgeway.

Sherri looked stunning in curve flattering simple dress from David's Bridal, and he was handsome in his cowboy boots.  At attendance were their close family and friends with the Matron of Honor being her daughter, the Best Man was his son and the flower girl was Sherri's adorable granddaughter. Their dogs were even apart of the ceremony and then were whisked away to the "man cave" because it's Summer in the South.

At the reception, the bride and groom danced and then the groom danced with his mother.  They cut the cake and everyone cheered.  The happy couple was just that; happy!

Matt & Amy Levine Museum of the New South Charlotte, North Carolina

Matt and Amy are the cutest couple!  Their love for each other just radiates.  I first met both of them at their engagement session, which didn't go as planned.... that story is further down on the blog.  We were supposed to do their engagement photos in a peach orchard that turned out to be completely destroyed!  However, this couple is so amazing, that it didn't matter and they completely rocked their engagement session with out the orchard.

So of course on their wedding day I was so excited on May 20th to drive up to Charlotte, NC to capture this special day for this very special couple.  Surrounded by oh so many friends and family, Amy came down the aisle at The Levine Museum of The New South, right after she did the most adorable awkward wave to Matt that I've ever seen.  It was the usual ceremony followed by the best and most fun wedding party photos that I've ever had the pleasure of seeing or shooting!

The most wonderful thing about having your wedding at The Levine Museum of The New South, is that you and your wedding party get exclusive access to all the exhibits.  Seriously... exclusive access to all the exhibits!!!  We had so much fun!  Please enjoy these photos from their fabulous night!
