WeddingWire recently picked up a photo from Janelle & Tim's wedding, which was filled with so many unique ideas, for their 2015 Winterbook. The couple's "fun fact" cocktail napkin photo was #5 in the "50 Fresh Ideas for 2015" section on page 10! Go Janelle & Tim! And while I'm bragging on their wedding, I need to brag on Janelle -- she's got a great lifestyle blog! Go check it out HERE!

JANELLE + TIM - Charlotte City Club Wedding - Part II of II
It's here! Part II of Janelle + Tim's lovely wedding. Get ready to be amazed. : ) If you missed part I, you can see it here. Adore these two. Enjoy!
Hilarious.
So gorgeous!
Old South Vintage Rentals = so amazing.
Incredible. Am I right or... am I right?
Janelle made all of the wedding party place settings; a unique write-up for each person! So thoughtful.
Carey Roberts Design Co. is one of the best!
The candy bar blew me away!
The toasts were impeccable.
Handmade/personally-burned audio CDs of Janelle & Tim's favorite songs. WHAT!? I've listened to mine about 10 times. : )
The wedding party entrances were some of the best I've seen. Love the "selfie" pose!
JANELLE + TIM - Charlotte City Club Wedding - Part I of II
If I post ALL of my favorites from this wedding, my blog server/host might just explode. I've narrowed them down as best as I can, and I still think it's necessary to split Janelle + Tim's wedding day into two parts. : ) Weather-wise, the day started out iffy. But don't they say a little rain on your wedding day equals a lot of luck?
I've got a unique anecdote for this wedding that I must share. The bride's mother, Sandy, told me this story on Janelle & Tim's wedding day morning. When Sandy and her husband were visiting Janelle in 2010 in Charlotte (they live in Ohio), she actually saw me shooting a wedding uptown (this one to be exact). Two years later, when Janelle got engaged and interested in my work, she sent her mom my website, and Sandy totally recognized me from two years prior. Now if that isn't a sign that we were meant to meet -- what is?!
From our very first consult, I really clicked with Janelle and Tim. They were so kind and caring, and just SO excited to be marrying each other. As time ticked by, Janelle would periodically update me on her wedding details, but even more importantly, I really got to know her and see how generous and lovely she is. (And super talented as well -- she started a blog called simply love., full of home/cooking/wedding inspirations -- go follow her ideas!)

Janelle and Tim got married at St. Peter's Catholic Church, and the reception was held at the ever-fabulous Charlotte City Club. All the details were STUNNING. Seriously, my jaw kept dropping to the floor the entire day. From the florals to the table settings to the custom-made CD favors, I was mesmerized by the beauty of it all. I heard everyone saying (about the details): "It's just so JANELLE." And I think what everyone meant, on top of everything being ultra stylish/vintage/chic, was that you could tell everything was created with 100% love and gratitude.
Without gushing too much more, here is part I of Janelle & Tim's wedding day. Thanks to Rachel Browne for shooting 14.5 hours (!!!!) with me. : ) 
How cute is the flower girl?! And how awesome are those robes?! Janelle gave them to her bridesmaids as part of their gifts...
Tim got a close shave at a salon in uptown. Too neat!
HOW AMAZING are the bouquets?!
Dad sees daughter for the first time... so sweet...
I love this shot of everyone crammed into the narthex right before the ceremony started...!
Stay tuned for part II -- portraits and reception -- tomorrow!
JANELLE + TIM ENGAGED!
LOVE this couple. They are SO sweet and SO adorable together. I photographed Janelle & Tim's engagement session in Charlotte, North Carolina, where they fell in love. At one point about halfway during the shoot, Janelle turned to me all teary-eyed and asked, "Is it normal to get emotional during your engagement shoot?" And then I teared up myself. We had a good laugh. : ) Y'all, I can't wait for your wedding. It's going to be AMAZING! Enjoy these two cuddle bugs.
So beautiful...
LOVE all of the cute details that Janelle & Tim brought along for the shoot...!
