2007.12.30 | Jesica y Brad, Angiers NC

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Jesica and Brad. You might remember them from their Holy Hotness Engagement Session.

They got married on the 30th of December at Barclay Villa in Angiers, NC. It’s like a castle in the middle of nowhere. Really different, and just a gorgeous setting for a winter wedding.

But whatever – Jesica and Brad are not only ridiculously good looking, they’re unbelievably sweet people. Like, way sweet. With sweetness. This wedding was adorable – Jesica was adorable, her family (many from Peru) were adorable, it was this crazy mixture of cultures and languages, Brad was 100% darling, I cannot say enough about how amazing and sweet and wonderful these people are. The tragedy is, they live in Florida – so I don’t get to hang out and drink beer with them. I so would, because these are my kinda people.

So, are you sick of hearing about how awesome they are yet? Ha. Now you get to see how beautiful they are. Don’t hate – they’re as down to earth as they are aesthetically pleasing. ;-)

Cool detail

I love this – look at all the hands working on little Jesica!

2007.11.11 | Deborah + Jason, Cary NC

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Remember Deborah and Jason from their engagement session? They got married! Their wedding was at the Prestonwood Country Club in Cary, NC. It was so beautiful – the ballroom is absolutely exquisite, one of the nicest I’ve shot at in North Carolina. And the service, the coordination, everything was impeccable, I cannot speak highly enough of the Prestonwood’s staff and overall presentation.

Enough about that! Deborah and Jason are awesome. They’re super laid back, *funny* as hell, and they just moved to Wilmington! Which is awesome because I would really like to get a beer with them – they’re just fun and down to earth types.

This was one of those weddings where everything really fell into place perfectly. Deb was a fun, excited, courteous, and genuinely happy bride. Jason was just plain HAPPY the whole day. I got to see Leigh and Cliff, a couple whose wedding I shot in 2004, along with Leigh’s dad who played the piano for Jason’s dance with his mom (it’s a good memory; Leigh’s dad played the piano at Leigh’s wedding on Daufuskie Island three years ago… good stuff, good people – I adore this family!)

Allright, let’s look at some pictures!
