Cathy and Greg [MARRIED]

So a month or so ago, I met up with the incredibly talented and amazing Cheyenne Shultz to second shoot with her at a beautiful wedding up in Charlotte, NC. Cheyenne was so amazing to work with!! I love every chance I get to shoot with other photographers. I know I love when I have another one tag along with me, it makes it more fun and you have someone to share ideas with and talk to! Needless to say, I had an amazing time, and thank you so much Cheyenne for inviting me along!

The wedding was beautiful, the bride was ravishing, and the groom had a sparkle in his eye. The location was majestic and the day was perfect ... but then right before the ceremony started, the sky fell and there was a thick downpour of rain . But the bride did not fret, she was not upset or even bothered. She was so easy going, and handled it way better than I would have if it were my wedding day.

The garden was perfectly set up, with each detail in its particular place. But when the rain decided to stick around for a while, the wedding was moved inside the beautiful Vanlandingham Estate. All of the people gathered around and it was almost illuminated with there joy and high-spirits. The bride walked down, brushing by the people who were there to show their support and love. It was magical.

During there wedding, I was stationed on a ledge about a foot wide. It was the only place where there was room for me. I felt myself getting teary-eyed when two of Cathy's friends read from the book Captivating. I found myself chuckling as I was trying to brace myself on the ledge and trying not to cry. You should have seen me :D

  1. Bwhahhaa! that picture of us trying to shoot the dress in all of those mirrors is really funny to me. :)

    Thank YOU for coming all the way up here to shoot with me! You did SUCH a great job - especially considering the chaos and circumstances the rain hit us with. Thanks for being so gracious and helping with whatever needed to be done - even if it was moving chairs and tables out of the way to rearrange the ceremony! You are a great photographer and a wonderful woman - I am blessed to have met you. :)

    It was great to meet you and I so hope we have the chance to see each other again sometime soon!
