MEAGAN + OSCAR - VanLandingham Estate Wedding

Meagan & Oscar were married on the first of June at the beautiful VanLandingham Estate in Charlotte, North Carolina. I love a quote from their invitation: "Together with their families .... invite you to share in the celebration as best friends become husband and wife."

Everything about this wedding was laid back and chic. It was threatening rain all afternoon, but no one was phased. After meeting Meagan and Oscar only once prior to their wedding (for their engagement shoot), I could tell this style of wedding complemented their personalities well. Nothing was fussy; everything and everybody was drama-free and a pleasure to photograph.

Meagan and Oscar, I wish you all the best in your lives together as husband & wife AND best friends. : ) Here are my favorites from their gorgeous garden wedding!

LOVED the florals... arranged to perfection!

Meagan, so beautiful!

Oscar looked sharp in his suit. Loved the color combo!

The Huertas del Pino men (Oscar's dad and brothers) were so fun to photograph together.

And some of the wedding party members were HILARIOUS during some individuals we grabbed.

Meagan and Oscar's first look (wonderful idea!) was so sweet.

The couple gave me oodles of time to do portraits, which is such an amazing thing not to feel rushed. : )

The couple's niece ... so precious!

Adore this shot of Oscar's grandfather embracing Meagan after the ceremony.

They used herbs as table settings. LOVE that idea!The place cards also served as a wedding favor: wildflower seeds were embedded in the paper to be planted after the wedding. Brilliant.

Somebody enjoyed the cake. : )

Dani and Steve-o (as I have always called them!) got married at the beautiful VanLandingham Estate in Charlotte, North Carolina in late September. The weather had everyone's stomachs in knots that day; it would look beautiful one minute and then thunder clouds would roll in the next. Thankfully the drizzles let up before the outside ceremony was set to start... and afterward, we found some delicious light for portraits!

On a more personal note, my heart is filled to the brim for these two. They are high school sweethearts and couldn't be more perfect for each other. I am so humbled to have been able to document their special day. Please enjoy some of my favorites from this AHHH-mazing wedding... from the details to Dani's rockin' dress to the people there... I loved everything about it. And to Dani & Steven: the "long-awaited party" was a KILLER one! : )

Mink Letterpress did the invites and programs - LOVE.

Danielle read a prayer quietly to herself that had been passed down from several generations...

...and had everyone in the room choked up (including myself).

Steven was a beast at tying bow ties. Not only did he tie his own, but he tied everyone's in the wedding party.

Serious side...

...and fun side. : )Dani, you are FLIPPIN' GORGEOUS.

Adored the place cards! They had stamps for the different types of meals (chicken, pork, veggie).

Best old-school wedding photo EVER.

Dani really knew how to work that dress!Love y'all! Congrats again!!!
