There is no doubt that Lauren and Jeff had a BLAST at their wedding at the Grove Park Inn. They both had fantastic, outgoing personalities, and you will definitely see this in the photos. I loved Lauren’s ideas, and it was so much fun implementing them and helping her vision come to life. She wanted her cocktail reception to be a totally different look and feel from her wedding. As guests moved upstairs to the Sammon’s Balcony for the cocktail hour, they stepped into a space popping with vibrant colors….emerald, sapphire, fuschia and red. In contrast, as they moved to the Skyline ballroom for the reception, it was a sea of ivories, whites with hints of black and gold. So beautiful…

Once again, Corey McNabb outdid himself with these fabulous pictures…

I love the feather shoes!

The Purple Iris wowed me with her flowers…

Jeff gave all his groomsmen a pair of Converse…they were thrilled!

Can you tell where Lauren gets her personality??

Lauren and Jeff were introduced to the theme song of the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Challenge)…hilarious!

We rented a photobooth so that she would have fun pictures of all of her guests…

The results!

For favors, the Grove Park staff passed out cigars to all of the gentlemen and a box of chocolate to all the ladies.

I had such an amazing experience working with Amy, Mike and Amy’s family. They were so gracious, so warm, and instantly we became friends. I was so disappointed when the wedding was over! We had a great time planning their weekend at the Biltmore Estate. They were married at the Inn on Biltmore on a Sunday in May. Their ceremony took place out on the vista, and their heavy hors oeuvres reception was held inside the Vanderbilt Ballroom. It was a gorgeous spring day, and Amy and Mike looked fabulous. The Bloom Room masterfully sculpted the flower arrangements…I just love her work…

Check out a few of the details and moments captured by Corey McNabb…

Mike, Amy, me and Corey…so glad we got this shot together!

The GT Allstars got everyone on the dance floor…they are so talented!

Corey, Paul and Holley (with Four Seasons Films) resting after a long, but fun day…

Corey was VERY fortunate to travel to Hawaii with Amy and Mike to take a few shots of them on their honeymoon. I love that Corey provides this service, but I am very jealous that I couldn’t go along!! Check out this pictures from their honeymoon…

I just love Adrienne and Will…I think everyone that knows them would say the same thing! They were married back in July inside the Biltmore Estate at the Lioncrest. It was a gorgeous summer evening…what every bride wishes for! I distinctly remember hearing one loud thunderclap right before Adrienne walked out for the ceremony…and that was it! It was God’s music for her intro! Here are lots of pictures for you to check out by the photographer extradordinarre, Corey McNabb….

I think this is a great picture…all of us trying get her in this dress!

Thank you to The Bloom Room for giving Adrienne the flowers that she dreamed of!

Hee hee hee….love the cows in the background….

One of my favorite shots with the Biltmore House’s reflection…fabulous!!

We tied all the place cards onto candles for the guests to pick up…it was beautiful.

Umm….yea…cute. That does not look like the bride and groom to me!

There they are!!

On September 29th, Sheila and John were married at Champion Hills Country Club in Hendersonville, NC. I just loved working with Sheila and her mother, Joanne, on this wedding. Very gracious and kind people, and they definitely deserved the sunny day that God provided! Shelia looked radiant! Enjoy these extraordinary pictures that Corey McNabb captured of Sheila and John’s special day!

That’s me…putting on chair ties!

The results!

I told you it was sunny!

Thank you to the Flower Market for the delightful blooms! I love yellow!
