Ben and Lindsey’s Elegant Tent Wedding

Here in North Carolina we all have been patiently waiting for summer to start. It has been cloudy, gloomy and a lot of rain. The morning of Ben and Lindseys wedding day was a true summer morning. The temperatures got above 80 degrees, the sun was beaming and there was not a cloud in the sky.

I started off with Lindsey and the girls who were getting glammed up! From the beginning Lindsey has been on top of every detail. She had every beautiful detail to capture and also had mini champagne bottles for all her girls!! This took the champagne pop to a whole new level. I even got a taste!!

The guys were having their own kind of fun too and knew how to cut a joke to make the laughing photos real belly laughs!

Once the morning of glamming, joking and hanging with their best of friends was over we headed over to the venue for a first look. The first look was everything a girl could imagine. Ben took it all in and smiled ear to ear while checking his gorgeous bride out!

Lindsey really wanted to be able to enjoy the evening and party with her guest, which was the reason for her first look. We were able to get portraits, bridal party and family photos all done before the ceremony!! After the ceremony and her beautiful rose petal exit, Lindsey and Ben were able to head straight to the reception!!

This reception is one of the most well decorated and chic receptions I have had the chance to capture! The colors, the flowers, and the decorations all blended together so flawlessly and was every bit of Lindseys dream for her big day.

We ended the day with the most epic sunset, which in turn made for some amazing photos and of course music and dancing!

This couple is so sweet and thoughtful, it showed throughout the entire day with each gesture and detail. Another wedding that I am oh so grateful to have been able to capture!!
