Hope+Mark, Morning Glory Farm Wedding

We are so excited to share these images and the music list from Hope and Mark's wedding last month! The weather was very hot and humid, but there was so much joy, beauty, and excitement to notice too much. Hope is also a musician, and she knew exactly what she wanted for her wedding. We learned all of the processional/recessional selections, and it all turned out perfectly. Thanks to Sarah from Clickaway Photography for capturing these!

Emily+Lance, St. Mary's Chapel

We love it when we get to play in local Charlotte weddings! St. Mary's Chapel is one of the cutest chapels just on the edge of the city. The acoustics in there are beautiful, and we have enjoyed every wedding in that pretty place.

Lance and Emily were such fun to work with. They knew exactly what they wanted, and we had fun learning new pieces for them. Keep reading to see their musical selections below!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW MR.+MRS. MAR!

Kalyn+Kelin, Vista Development Clubhouse in Lake Lure

In recent years, couples have steered away from the traditional church wedding to having a beautiful outdoor wedding. The decor is naturally gorgeous, and the photos usually turn out beautiful. However, outdoor weddings aren't always the most comfortable for guests and everyone else involved. Almost every October Bride who dreamed of having a perfect outdoor wedding in 2015 didn't get one.

The rain was depressingly constant and seemingly unending. However, Kalyn and Kelin had such a perfect backup plan for their mountain destination wedding. The rain didn't dampen a single spirit. Instead, they had one of the most gorgeous indoor weddings with the misty Blue Ridge Mountains as the backdrop in the tall windows.

Their wedding was intimate, emotional, and joyful. We smiled the entire time! It was such a joy to be a part of their wedding.

Kalyn asked us to wear colors that coordinated with the wedding instead of our professional black attire that we usually wear. We always love to change things up a bit! Her colors were a natural palette of creams, ivory, khaki, green, and an accent of Red/Burgundy with the florals. So tasteful and beautiful.
