Engagement Session | Kellyn and Bennett

This was a first for us, incorporating a huge horse into a photo session, but we knew we HAD to do it! Why? Because our bride Kellyn is quite the equestrian. This barn is very special & located on their estate in Waxhaw. They board their horses here and her mom cares for many of the horses daily. This is her award winning boy, Cody.

Sometimes living in Charlotte you forget how vast, beautiful and quiet the country is.....it was stunning.

After a little fashion/hair/makeup with The Look, we began our shoot with our friend and photog, Tara Mauldin.

Everything was working for us. The sun, the energy, the love, the beauty - EVERYTHING!

Enjoy!

Gospel Choir sings at Wedding Reception

Everyone has been begging us to post this video.

We had a surprise 35 person live choir sing at one of our October weddings, as the bridal party and new bride and groom entered the reception. It was amazing - so POWERFUL!

Voices of Eden is their name and they are the BEST to work with...we'll definitely be using them again.
