…… My apologies for the long delay between part I & part II of this post, between our vacation and my day job, time has seemed to speed up!  Andrea & Steven celebrated their marriage with their friends and family at 128 South in downtown. It’s a beautiful, intimate venue with spectacular food! The bartender let us know they have plans to expand out the back side of the building, doubling their space.  The STUNNING flowers were done by Bloomers! One of my favorites! Then it was on to the reception! The kids at this wedding kept the party going the whole night! Congratulations! We were so thrilled you had us there to capture this special day 🙂

They are both engineers and graduated from NC State. They were our kinda people already 🙂 We met Steven & Andrea back on July 4th weekend for some engagment photos and couldn’t wait to shoot their wedding. We knew it would be a great time, with some super fun people. We couldn’t have asked for a better couple to shoot for our first wedding- they were sweet, fun, had awesome bridal parties, and were good lookin’ 😉 Jeremy dropped me off in Leland at Andrea’s mother’s house to meet up with the girls, while he went off to find the guys.  Then, it was ceremony time! They tied the knot on the Cape Fear River Deck, in downtown Wilmington.  …. the girls rode the Wilmington Trolley down to the site…. ….. My goal was to have this entire wedding edited and blog ready before leaving on vacation yesterday- and, well, that didn’t happen. So- when we return home, I’ll blog the rest of Andrea & Steven’s day! Happy October- tomorrow is mine and the hubs FIRST anniversary! I can’t believe that one year ago today, I was scrambling around, decorating the reception hall, and being mad that my rentals were late, and the wrong amount! Wow….. we’ve come a long way, baby!

We survived our first two weddings….. they were back to back….. in two different towns….. 5 hours apart…… both 4+ hours from our house….. Both were nothing short of amazing. We couldn’t have asked for better brides, better families, better grooms, or better locations.All were awesome 🙂 Here’s a sneak peek of both! Andrea & Steven : Wilmington, NC Megan & Jeremy : Manteo, NC …………….. more coming soon!!!!
