2007.05.19 | Sarah + Greg

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

I honestly don’t even know how to begin writing about Sarah and Greg. I mean this in the most sincere way possible – there are no words to describe this couple. I have tried. One of the reasons it took me so long to update my blog was I couldn’t seem to write an entry that adequately described their wedding, their love for eachother, their constant pursuit of fun, or the way that they just feel like family to me. So I guess what I just wrote will have to do.

I met them first when they drove down for their engagement session. After we shot for a couple of hours, they bought me a beer and we talked, for HOURS, about life and love and karma and happenstance. We marveled at one anothers’ stories, we laughed, we toasted new beginnings, we connected. After that day, I knew their wedding would be something special, and I knew it would probably end up being one of my all time favorites.

Sarah and Greg were married at the NC State Botanical Gardens, and their reception was at the NC State Football Stadium. Not in a ballroom at the Stadium, mind you – but right in the *entrance* of the stadium, where the big gates are and the concession stands… it’s one of the coolest locations I’ve ever shot at for a reception, but it’s no wonder – this couple is not only creative, they’re *daring*. God I love these guys.

Sarah did ALL of the decorating herself. She selected these funky black and white patterns, with a bright green accent, which ran throughout ALL of her details. Her cake, she designed herself and commissioned an artist to make her vision a reality. Sarah planned the entire thing, top to bottom, major detail to the most minuscule, by herself and using only her incredible imagination and her endless creativity.

Greg probably did something with the planning, but it wasn’t ever mentioned. :) All I know is, he was absolutely giddy when he saw her walk down the aisle (GIDDY), he was one of the most handsome and happiest grooms ever, and together they just shine.

Here are just a *few* images from their wedding. Sorry for the bandwidth hogging… I can’t help it.

Little did I know when I met them at Johnny Mercer’s Pier for their engagement session, they would become two of my favorite people in the world.

Lisa + Ben: the engagement session

Lisa and Ben are a great couple. I mean, in so many ways. They’re super patient, really easygoing, they both have a great sense of humor, and they’re just fun to be around. My kinda people.

Here are some highlights from their engagement session! We shot in downtown Wilmington and at Johnny Mercer’s Pier at Wrightsville Beach:

Seriously. Right? How cute are they.
