Wow! It has been a long time since I posted on this page…And, this is my first North Carolina wedding post. I have served close to 30 weddings in my short time here and it has been a wonderful experience.

If this is spring in North Carolina, I’ll take it! 💝

I took just a few cell phone shots from this beautiful elopement today. The “real” talent was captured by
(for a later post).

The in is beautiful! It was 85 degrees, no humidity, no bugs - just peaceful and breathtaking no matter which way you looked.

Our couple shared the sweetest vows and were accompanied only by their parents. It was a very romantic setting; so grateful to have been a part of it. 🙏💝iikt

In Vegas - our couples used limos.
In Florida - our couples use golf carts!
I’m interested to see what North Carolina brings! 😍

One of my last May weddings with Beth and Michael, made my heart so happy. This was a true, romantic, elopement…with all the feels. Nobody knew they were getting married except Kristina Sanchez Photography and me!

God was the center of their sacred union, just as He remains the foundation of their marriage—for a cord of three strands is not easily broken 🙏❤️

We were blessed with the perfect evening to celebrate their love - St Pete never disappoints! 💝

💝Congratulations Tammy & Russell!💝

You two are the most resilient, determined and loving couple - I am so thrilled and grateful that I was able to share these special moments with you on your wedding day.

NO couple should ever have to face the many serious issues you two had to deal with, right before your wedding. But, you pushed through it all as a team and the result = the most beautiful wedding celebration imaginable.

I believe we went from Plan A - to B - to C to get you two married, but it was so worth it!

Thank you for having me - best wishes to you both! 💝

This is a good read for sure (minus the ads)!

Ten Mistakes That Guests Make When Invited To A Wedding:

1. Ignore The Deadline to RSVP!

2. Arriving Late To The Ceremony (You likely won't be allowed to enter once the ceremony has started)

3. Ignoring the Dress Code

4. Wearing White or Light-Colored Styles

5. Taking Photos During the Ceremony When Asked Not To

6. Bringing an Uninvited Plus One

7. Overindulging At the Bar

8. Straying From The Wedding Registry

9. Making Their Day - About You!

10. Thinking It's OK To Take Food Home With You (NOT!)

According to etiquette experts, wedding guests should never arrive late to the ceremony, ignore the dress code, or bring an uninvited plus one.

Tabitha and James were surrounded by their closest family members and friends who traveled across the country to celebrate with them. They shared their heartfelt vows under the giant oaks at the Love Locked Bridge at Baker’s Ranch. .

Theirs is a unique story of falling in love, against all odds. They discovered their connection in the most unexpected circumstances but soon realized there was an undeniable chemistry between them. This unexplainable attraction quickly evolved and led them to falling deeply in love. This "leap of faith" led to their romantic and VERY private engagement (in a closet!).

The couple remained true to themselves...fun, fun and more fun - with masks, metal themed and more board games than I've seen in a store!

Congratulations, Tabitha & James - thank you for having me officiate your ceremony! 💝

With vendors like this, with couples like this, with weather like this...I could do weddings every day - all day/all night.

Sean and his Brazilian beauty, Vanessa, shared such sweet vows with another - it got me choked up! Bringing two families and two cultures together is really a special experience that I wouldn't trade for anything.

Shawn - I am so glad we have a few more weddings together before I head north, and same with you Craig! I am gong to miss you both so much...don't even want to think about it! 😭💝

Beach House Waterfront Restaurant staff - thank you for having me. Grant Hemond & Associates, Inc. - thank you for providing such crisp, clear sound so my ceremony could be heard. 💝🙏💝

💝So much love...and so many beachballs!💝

Jack and Debbie have been planning their destination wedding for over a year, from the other side of the continent. Thanks to our un-invited fall 2024 guests...Debby, Helene and then Milton, wedding plans were looking a little uncertain for a few months.

However, through the turmoil and uncertainty of planning from afar...it could not have turned out any better - what an incredible celebration of love!

That infusion of love was also shared with our dream team of vendors:

Photographer: Sandhill Photography
DJ: DJ KenWa
Floral: Blooms By The Beach
