So, several months ago, Parker Pfister took some delicious photos of my daughter, Pherson. Who knew that a few months later, Nikon World Magazine would use one of these pictures for their cover! They contacted Parker because they wanted to feature him in their fall 2011 (which is such an incredible honor, by the way), and so he submitted hundreds of pictures for them to choose from. Boy, was I surprised when not only did they want to feature Parker on the cover, but they chose a picture of our little girl! Beyond thrilled. Thank you, Parker and thank you Nikon!

Stephanie and Adam’s Intimate Wedding

I loved every aspect of Stephanie and Adam’s wedding day, because it was so intimate and precious. To me, the ceremony began back in their hotel room, as they wanted to dress each other for the most special moment of their lives. I just know it was like time stood still for them, and you can see this in Parker Pfister’s breathtaking photographs. After going around the spectacular grounds of the Biltmore Estate for pictures, they joined their family for their ceremony in the Champagne Cellar. Once the ceremony ended, their guests were delighted by a winery tour and tasting while the Cellar was transformed into their dinner reception. A wonderful day…

Blossoms did a fabulous job creating a magical atmosphere for this intimate wedding…

Parker must have said something pretty funny to us…

Martha and Brian’s Wedding at the Biltmore Estate

The minute I met Martha and her mom, I know we were going to have so much fun planning this wedding. Martha knew what she wanted, and she wanted it to be extravagant, elegant, sparkly, spectacular…with a smoky, sexy touch. She chose the Lioncrest at the Biltmore Estate for the ceremony and reception…the perfect location. The ceremony was held out on the veranda, and when the guests went upstairs for dinner, we transformed the veranda into the cocktail, dancing and lounge area. We teamed up with Beth at Studio Flora Diva to create the flowers of Martha’s dreams (and she wanted lots of them!), and Beth did just that. When Martha saw her reception and ceremony site, she literally gasped and yelled out how perfect everything was. I love that kind of reaction! Thank you to Martha and her sweet family for taking me a long this amazing ‘planning’ journey. I am honored to know you all!

Once again, Parker Pfister, amazed us all with his brilliant photography. Thank you, Parker, for getting all these photos to me so I can share them with the world!

Martha LOVES shoes, so she had three different pairs to get her through the entire day…two pairs of Jimmy Choos, and a pair of gorgeous Manolo Blahniks. What every bride needs!

Wendy Arthur Ballance, makeup artist, enhanced Martha’s beauty for her ‘big’ day…

Linda…Martha’s mama…isn’t she gorgeous? And she is so, so sweet.

All the stationary and calligraphy was by Dana with A Fine Line Studio.

Delain and Chris were married on October 4th in Cashiers at one of my favorite locations for a wedding, Trillium. I had such a great time getting to know Delain’s mom, Connie, and working with her and Delain to pull this wedding together. I love Delain’s taste and style…she has a great eye for design, and it was fun to see all the details weave together to make such a memorable event for her guests.
I am thrilled to share with you the incredible artistry of photographer, Parker Pfister. He is phenomenal at what he does, and his pictures are truly considered fine art. It is such a privilege to work with him. Enjoy….

Floral design by Sweet Bouquets…

I adore this picture…Delain is soooo gorgeous. I love the shoes (I have a slight obsession with good shoes)! Delain and her dad arrived at the ceremony in a vintage white firetruck. Love it….

Love this cake by The Bake Shoppe!

Thank you to Tere, who made sure everything run smoothly on the wedding day!
