Erin and Matt 8/8/2009



Erin and Matt were married exactly one year later to the day when they became engaged. This ceremony and reception was absolutely breathtaking. The couple chose simple colors of white and blue that were accented with flowers by Jodi Staples at Flowers by Jodi. Erin and Matt opted to do cupcakes instead of the traditional wedding cake. Cake Cravings provided 3 different flavors of delicious cupcakes displayed on a multi-tiered stand. Their ceremony music was provided by a guitarist and following the reception, guests were able to visit the candy bar to make a to-go bag of sweets! We would like to give a special thank you to Echard Wheeler for these beautiful shots!

Maggie and Joe 6/6/2009


Maggie and Joe didn't let a cloudy sky ruin their day! This group was so upbeat and fun! The couple had their ceremony and reception at the Lesner Inn. The bridesmaids carried lovely bouquet's from Daevids of Norfolk that matched the gorgeous table centerpieces. Following the ceremony the bridal party ran across the street to take some pictures on the beach! They shortly came back to enjoy a delicious dinner followed by dancing. This group certainly knew how to get down and boogie! At the end of the evening, Maggie and Joe made a stylish exit on a boat! We would like to thank Echard Wheeler for these great pictures.
