Callie and Matt's wedding was my first wedding to ever photograph.  Before then, I'd focused on my portrait photography of all of the awesome families I know!  When Callie's mom (also my daughters' preschool director) reached out to me about the wedding, I got excited!  I let them know I hadn't photographed a wedding, but I would give it 110%.  Up to the day, I was nervous and stressing any time I thought about it, but I was also so pumped to do my first wedding!  

Callie and Matt are such a great couple surrounded by awesome friends and family.  I truly had such a good time photographing them, and you can tell they're a great fit for each other!  It was nice to work with such a laid back couple, too...they put their trust in me and went with it.  They were very refreshing!!  The wedding was held at Rolling Hills Farm in Monroe, NC.  The venue was perfect!  The caterer, Waiter's Choice, did a great job with the food (I was able to have a quick plate, and it was delicious!).  LaLa Girl did an amazing job on the girls' hair and makeup--they all looked gorgeous!!  Daniel Schmitt from Ladybug Videography was a pleasure to work with.  And of course, wedding coordinator, Angela Williams, did a great job organizing the entire day.

Callie and Matt got Brushfire Stankgrass as the band for the ceremony and reception, and what a fun band!!  They played some rockin' bluegrass music and had a little reggae mixed in there.  You can tell by the reception pictures that everyone enjoyed their music!  I'd also love to give a big shout out to Kathleen Durkin (www.crowntownphotography.com) for letting me shoot as second photographer for one of her weddings and for helping me with any questions I had.  She's a great photographer here in Charlotte and we had a great time working together.  Another shout out to goes to Christina Forbes (www.christinaforbesphotography.com) for helping with all of my questions!!  She photographed my family in the Outer Banks this year and immediately gave me some pointers when I mentioned I was photographing my first wedding.  These girls are truly class acts and great at what they do :)  And of course and very special thanks to my dear friend Jen who assisted me all day!!  She was truly amazing!

I hope you guys enjoy some of the highlights from wedding that I've posted in this blog!!
