A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting Erica and Corey as they’d tied the knot under the pergola in Duke Gardens, and what a beautiful wedding it was! But before I can share my favorite photos with you, I have to say what an honor it was to work with Corey, who serves our country. Thank you, Corey, for all you do. Your friends, family, and new wife are extremely proud of you… as they should be! And congratulations on an awesome wedding. Here are a few of the gorgeous details, starting with the wedding bands…

 

 The oh-so-cute favors….

 

The gals at Tre Bella always amaze me with their bouquets and centerpieces…. they do such beautiful work, and I highly recommend you check them out!

 

 A couple more details, and I promise I’ll show you some people!

 

And here she is… the stunning, sweetheart of a bride, Erica.

 

This was my first wedding under the pergola, and it was just beautiful!

 

Making it official…

 

 And just moments later… they were married!

 

 But before we could head to the reception, we had a couple stops to make. First stop…. the bamboo!

 

Next stop… the railroad tracks. I couldn’t pick just one favorite, so I’ll share three. Hope you don’t mind….

 

 One more quick stop… right in the middle of the street.

 

Last stop… the reception, where they danced the night away. So I’ll leave you with this sweet one from their first dance as husband and wife…

 

 Congratulations you two… I’m so happy for you!

Danielle and Colin were married a couple weeks ago at the Greensboro Arboretum, and let me tell you… it was perfect! The weather was incredible, considering it was the middle of July. It could have been crazy hot and humid (you know, the typical North Carolina Summer day), but it was really nice and comfortable out. I stopped by to see Colin beforehand as he was getting ready and grabbed this shot of him. It’s probably one of my favorite groom shots. 

 

Once every one had taken their places, here she came…  so beautiful!

 

Just as she slipped the wedding band onto Colin’s finger…

 

 And just moments later, their first kiss as husband and wife…

 

 The groomsmen showed up on the wedding day wearing these sweet, hot pink sunglasses… so we grabbed a pair for Danielle so they’d match. They were too cute!

 

 We got the standard wedding party shots, then we had a little fun for a few photos. This “mugshot” cracks me up…

 

These next two are my favorites from the day…

 Looks like love to me…

 

 First dance!

 

 A friend of Danielle’s made this cake, and she did an amazing job. It was gorgeous (and delicious). 

 

Last up… a ring shot. For this one I just used on their cards on the gift table. Who ever it’s from has nice handwriting

 

 Congratulations newlyweds! Had a great time with you all!
