christina & brandon

remember my faaaaaaaabulous state fair engagement couple? i knew christina and brandon would have a F.U.N. wedding when i met them, and i was absolutely right! the beautiful bride began her day at the marriott crabtree hotel with her friends and family and would return there later with her new husband for the reception!

these next two photos are courtesy of my wonderful assistant for the day, lisa (check her out at http://www.figginsphotos.blogspot.com/). she hung with the boys while i took care of the girls.

off to saint andrews presbyterian church for a gorgeous ceremony. :)

then back to the marriot for some fun before the reception.

it didn't take long for the night to get started. this crowd was ready to party. if i remember correctly, i'm pretty sure this was a little boys II men action.

sorry michelle, but i had to. :) looooooove you!

i loooooooove sparklers!

thanks to mr. & mrs. williams for another beautiful wedding weekend! i'll never forget your reception dance floor as long as i live. much love!

brooke & brian

(let's all ignore the fact that this gorgeous rainy day wedding actually happened back in march, k?) i made the trip to kernersville on march 28th to document every moment of brooke and brian's big day! it began with hair and makeup at house of style salon & spa and i had a blast watching brooke transform from an everyday beautiful girl to a knockout glamourous bride!


after a quick drive thru chick-fil-a to re-fuel, we headed to the gorgeous friedland moravian church in winston-salem to prepare for the ceremony and wrap up the finishing touches.

these sassy ladies didn't let a little rain dampen their day. i love rainy day weddings!

when i checked on our groom, brian, i found him with his dad, harry, who gave him a very special family watch to wear down the isle.

here comes the bride!

in a beautiful moment, brooke's mother gave her away.

everyone's smiling now - they're hitched!

after a short and sweet reception at the church, both families headed to outwest steakhouse & saddle to continue the celebration. what a relazing way to keep up the party!

congratulations mr. & mrs. kochanski!!!

just traci

now that the groom has actually seen her in the dress, i wanted to post a few of my favorites from traci's bridal session. :) love her.

traci & david

it's not often that i find myself in the presence of a truly and completely calm, cool, and collected wedding day. every bride deserves at least one meltdown. maybe she had one somewhere along the way, but from where i stood on january 3rd, traci monroe (now weaver) handled it like a pro. maybe it was the fact that she was marrying her best friend david that kept her smiling. maybe it was her wonderful family and friends. maybe it was the support of nikol from chantoosie events. then again, maybe it was the shoes. :) here's how it happened.

the beautiful bride got ready for her big day at her parents' home.

then headed to church for the final touches.

david and his crew were ready and waiting.

traci killed time with her bridesmaids before the ceremony and practiced the dance she had choreographed for the ladies to perform later that night. (see traci's mom on the far left. she served double duty as mother of the bride and matron of honor. how cool!)

traci's dad looks on.

here comes the bride.

the couple joins traci's entire dance school for the first reception of the day. these students adore her. you'd think these two were celebrities in that room!

finally, the first dance.

sugar entertained the crowd all night long. (i must say i don't have a bad gig either. i get to do what i love while listening to some gooooood music. i love sugar!)

here goes showtime!

this bride was in high-demand as a dance partner, and her brother made sure he took a turn.

what a day! thank you traci and david for allowing me to be a part of it!
