We were so fortunate to get a chance to go to Spain and photograph this wedding for such genuinely nice people!  Viva el novio y la novia!

Who:  Estela and Pablo.  They have known each other since high school!

Where: Las Caldas.  Asturias, Spain.  A tiny little village in the mountains with thermal baths and a sweet hotel that is built around a rock.

We had this whole place all to ourselves, unbelievable.  Just us and some stray cats!

 

alison + drew and their sweet 1 year old baby girl made their commitment to their family “official” with a beautiful ceremony and reception at one of my favorite venues, the cotton room.  i love alison’s birdcage veil and sweet sparkly heels!  congrats guys!

venue and good eats:  the cotton room 

flowers:  tre bella bridal

the party:  island sound

the sweets:  the cupcake shop

Who: Ruby + Rob

Their Story:

Rob and Ruby met at Seventy-First High School in Fayetteville, NC.  They were in homeroom together,  as both their last names start with “R.”  Ruby introduced herself to Rob during Mr. Kimball’s Physcial Science class.  Their first conversation consisted of Ruby not believing Rob that he had his driver’s permit already.

Rob and Ruby were good friends throughout high school.  They sat next to each other in the lunch room senior year, and Rob walked Ruby back to class afterwards.  They never dated in high school, but always had a crush on one another.

After high school, Ruby went to UNCW and Rob went to ECU.  So… When did they meet again?? It was the summer after freshman year of college.  Ruby came home to work at Texas Roadhouse, her high school part-time job.  Rob came home after finishing up basic training. Note: After Rob’s first semester of college, he joined the Army National Guard.  He later returned to ECU. They saw each other one night after work, and literally have not been apart since.

Throughout the years, they have lived in various cities and even countries around the world.  Note: Rob was sent to Iraq for 10 months during his sophmore year of college.  Ruby studied abroad in Quito, Ecuador.  They kept a strong long distance relationship, and never gave up on their love.  The rest is history!

First Look

Up next…. the ceremomy!

 

katie and grant had a lovely southern soiree to celebrate their nuptials.

the ceremony was at the gorgeous duke chapel.  the rain poured down as they said “i do”, but the sun came through the clouds as we reached the fearrington house.

i love the pale palette of yellow and white of the flowers by mary stevens of the fearrington house.

katie looked amazing in her dress by amsale, hair by dianne spencer, and makeup by kevin mckinght.

the fearrington house whipped up some delicious southern inspired treats for the guests.  the cake had the cutest cake toppers from etsy.

the infinity x band got the party started.  there were some great dance moves at this wedding!

the night was a fabulous affair!  congrats katie + grant.
