A Romantic Summer Wedding at Langtree Plantation


Derek and Lexi tied the knot this summer at the Historic Langtree Plantation in Lake Norman, NC. A charming wedding location with rustic and romantic flair. The gorgeous couple had us all sparkley-eyed with lots of joy and love. The couple and wedding party spent the afternoon in the Langtree House getting ready for the big day. Getting-ready shots are so much fun. And some of the sweetest shots you'll take with your besties. We love the matching satin pajama sets. Comfy and luxurious.





Lexi spends private time with her mom as she helps her with her gown. Quiet moments before the festivities begin are special moments.




We adore Lexi's gown. The lace design on the bodice is gorgeous.
We love the romantic, cathedral length veil floating behind her. So dreamy.  
  The father-daughter first look melts our heart.
 

The bridesmaids are stunning in their full length robin-egg blue dresses. Derek is dashing, and his groomsmen look sharp in their black tuxedos.




 Before the ceremony, Derek and Lexi read private love letters to each other. A sweet and intimate way to reflect on their love and commitment.
 The big day is finally here after months of wedding planning.
                


The weather was perfect for an outdoor ceremony. The bright sunlight was streaming down through the trees as they shared their vows. You can see the emotion on their faces. 





Derek and Lexi took their first romantic walk together as husband and wife. The beautiful open fields of the farmland is a perfect backdrop.












Derek and Lexi head inside to celebrate after group and romantic shots.










Every couple has their own special story. No two weddings are alike. We're lucky to witness the coming together of two people in love as part of our business. 
It's so invigorating. It was an honor to be part of Derek and Lexi's happy day. Wishing them all the best!

The Bridesmaids' First Look

Image
 What is a bridesmaids' first look? It's exactly what it sounds like. You'll get into your gown and accessories in a room separate from your girls. Usually with the help of your mom, mother-in-law or other women you are closest with.  Make sure to block off ten to fifteen minutes on your wedding day timeline so the photographer is ready. It takes time to get everyone in place beforehand. Then it's the big reveal! Your bridesmaids see you all at once. Expect lots of squeals, hugs and happy tears. Everyone is going to want to give you a hug. We love the group hug shown below. It takes time, so plan ahead. It's definitely a sweet moment you'll always cherish. We recommend a bridesmaid' first look if you have the time and space. No one wants to feel rushed, especially if you have a large wedding party. When there is a lot of commotion and chattering in a room, things can become overwhelming.  Getting ready in a private space offers a little quiet time before the...
