i am totally in love with this new venue, the contemporary art museum in downtown raleigh.  there is a mix of funky old urban buildings, the modern architectural design of CAM and there is even some wispy grass and pretty trees to soften the urban feel.

jenna and jac had one of the sweetest first looks ever.  i think we were all crying!  they decided to do a first look and all of the family photos before the ceremony.  at first i admit i was a bit intimidated by jenna’s 6 page timeline (LOL), but in the end we worked together to create a great timeline that made for a no stress, great day with lots of amazing photo opportunities!  right after the ceremony everyone walked straight to the bus and right into party time!  and i have to give jenna and jac a special shout out for being so sweet to mel and i.  we actually had our own little “sweetheart” table set up at the reception with the fancy dinner wares and delicious food.  thanks guys!
