I had the great privilege of capturing Melissa & Bob’s Fall Wedding and I must say, what a pair these two make! They’ve been together for 13 years and met while helping in a set-up field hospital in Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina. Years later, Bob waited for the perfect moment and takes Melissa out on a little boat ride on the lake near their house and popped the question! The timing and details were everything for them and it showed through beautifully on their wedding day!

It all started with finding the perfect location, The Rigmor House.

Not only was the bride absolutely beautiful but the decor and all of the special details were something to behold. (Wedding Stylist: Heather McLaughlin Events)

Time for the fun to just keep on going

The appointed Northern High School Culinary Department was amazing and the food was soo good!! You can reach out to them here.

The night ended with a perfect little stroll in the full moon light.

Thank you Melissa & Bob for trusting me to be your wedding photographer! Your wedding was spectacular and I’m happy I was able to capture it for you!

I wish you both a lifetime full of happiness, love, and adventure!

What a spectacular Valentine’s inspired wedding at the Whispering Oaks Wedding / Event Venue in Julian, NC. Heather & Braxton were such champs overcoming this chilly day but fortunately this venue provided the perfect indoor haven from the cold.

Every detail of their wedding was a sight to see.

The girls had so much fun getting ready then later they snuck out to another room to avoid being seen. The groom then utilized this same room for a few quiet moments prior to the ceremony to read over his vows, deep in concentration and then smiling down at them written on his phone; meanwhile, he showed off his fancy socks with Heather’s picture on them.- expressing how much she would appreciate them.

Just a sneak peek of the Mr & Mrs.

Now here comes the beautiful bride, look at that smile!

The single tear drop on Heather’s cheek right before the big kiss just makes me melt.

Now for the first dance as husband and wife. Heather definitely made sure to save a dance for the other special men in her life too: her dad and her grandfather. Braxton followed suite saving a sweet dance for his mom.

The cake. Hah, well this got messy very quickly.

I can’t leave out the garter & bouquet toss!

With his teeth y’all!! Witness here stating he did not use his hands once!

Oh and the reception was a huge hit! The owner’s son of the Whispering Oaks as the DJ, provided excellent music and lighting that entertained everyone.

Just an incredible night with the perfect ending.

Congratulations, Heather & Braxton! I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together. Thank you for sharing your special day with me and trusting me to be your photographer.
