Part 2: Jacquelyn & Scotty's Wedding

 I'm so excited to share with y'all the reception pictures of Jacquelyn and Scotty's wedding!  The Big Chill along with the DJ had some awesome uplighting and disco lights which makes for fun and colorful photographs.

First Dance...so sweet!

The father-daughter dance started off as a tear-jerker.

 A touching toast from the Maid of Honor, Felice, the bride's sister.

Jacquelyn's grandparents won the anniversary dance.  Aren't they cute!  Her grandmother had a smile on her face all night long!  I loved photographing her.  On a side note, you'll have to ask my husband Sam, how we won the anniversary dance at Rhea & Jonathan's wedding with only 1 year and 11 months of marriage (it's a funny story!).

These wedding guests definitely brought their dancing shoes!

Waiting in line for the photo booth, people like to point at photographers (pointing picture #1).

Pointing Picture #2 - I believe they were saying (or possibly yelling) "Camera girl it's your turn to show us your dance moves!"  I politely declined, I would have embarrassed myself, they had some good dance moves!

Okay, this was a Catholic wedding ceremony, not Jewish.  I'm not really sure what happened here, I went outside to snap the above picture and came back inside to the bride being lifted in the air in her chair.  So if you were at this wedding please fill me in : )

Jacquelyn and Scotty, I wish you the very best!  Thank you for allowing me to capture your day!  It was a beautiful ceremony and reception!

Rachel & Lincoln's Wedding

July has been a great month so far, and I can't believe that it's almost over.  Summer is flying by!  I'm sure time has flown by for Rachel and Lincoln since they got married on July 9th.  Time flies when you're having fun (aka - a happy newlywed!).  This couple shared a deep connection, and it was evident how much they cared for one another.  Thankfully the usual summer thunderstorms held off - the last thing you need with 90+ degree weather is the extra humidity of a summer thunderstorm.  It was a beautiful day, and Rachel and Lincoln had a lot of family and friends to help celebrate with them!

Cowboy boots for the bridesmaids (and the bride too, she ended up wearing cowboy boots as well).

Details of the dress -  One of the most exciting moments when shooting a wedding for me is the unveiling of the dress.  I loved Rachel's dress, and it definitely fit her personality.  And the veil is what it pulls it all together.

I did a few bridal shots of Rachel before the ceremony, and one of my favorites is this carefree smile and movement.

Rachel had great expressions throughout the entire day, and I love how happy she looks in this picture!

It's official, Mr. and Mrs. Lawing!

Minutes after being announced as MARRIED :)

The reception was held at Cramer Mountain Country Club.  Very beautiful!

Stunning flowers and beautiful bright green colors at the reception.

First dance

The band at the reception was awesome!  I wanted to get out there and dance, but I had a job to do : )  It was the Chris Lane Band.

And a sweet bubble exit to end a wonderful night!

If you would like to view more of the wedding images, here is their wedding slideshow:

Another Wedding Preview

I hope everyone had a great week!  I have guests in town, Nichole and Joe -  pictures will be shared from our weekend together : )

I photographed another Charlotte wedding last Friday for Jacquelyn and Scotty.  They were such a cute couple, and I thought they needed a photograph for when they get home from their honeymoon : )

Congratulations Jacquelyn and Scotty, I hope you had a great honeymoon!

Small Preview of the Mr. and Mrs. Lawing

Don't worry, I will be sharing more photos from this wedding, but I wanted to have one image up for Rachel and Lincoln for when they return from their honeymoon.  This photo was taken at the beautiful Cramer Mountain Country Club.

Congratulations y'all!  Thank you for allowing me to share in your special day!
