Bethany & John | Hotel Concord Wedding | Charlotte Wedding Photographer

Charlotte Wedding Photographer | The Hotel Concord

A few weeks I traveled up to The Hotel Concord for Bethany & John’s wedding day and y’all can I just say how beautiful of a day and venue it was!!!! It was a COLD day but it was beautiful and Bethany & John didn’t care at all about the weather they were just excited to be getting married!!!

When I arrived Bethany was in the getting ready area surrounded by her family and friends and y’all it was so fun to walk into a room that was bustling about with her childhood friends and family. Bethany slipped into her dress and her mom buttoned the buttons of both her dress & lace coat as her sweet bridesmaids peeked around the corner to sneak a look!! There were a lot of smiles & laughter and it was so fun to be in the midst of all of it!!

When I went down to photograph the guys only John was ready… I have NO idea what they were doing but getting dressed for the wedding was the last thing on their mind!! But y’all once they were dressed they were such a fun group of groomsmen!!

Bethany & John opted to do a first look and the smile on Bethany’s face as she walked toward John and then his sweet smile when he saw his bride was precious!! I always love documenting first looks and gift exchanges with my couples because they are by themselves and so often we get lots of giggles and maybe some tears and it’s just so fun!! Because The Hotel Concord has great natural light at the time of portraits I decided to do all but the full bridal party portraits in side in the ballroom and I am so happy I did because it kept everyone warm but also changed things up for me and I love it!!

Bethany & John, thank y’all so much for wanting me to document your wedding day!! It was such an honor and I am soo happy for you two!! Here are a few of my favorite images from the day!!

Photography is in my blood and seeking truth is in my soul. Which is a deep way of saying, I’ve loved to take photos for a really long time, y’all. I’d love to share my story with you then listen to yours.

 01

Some of my favorite photographs from a wedding weekend are taken with everyone in khakis. I’ve been thinking about that lately. After almost twenty years of photographing weddings, I’ve learned that the moments my couples come back to years later are not always the ones you would expect.  The first look matters. The vows matter. […]

Rachel & Ben were married on an incredible fall weekend in the upstate of South Carolina.  The weekend started out with family and friends celebrating these two at the Greenville Country Club for the rehearsal dinner.  The included hugs, the most beautiful toasts, and Ben grabbing his guitar and playing/singing for guests.  That evening set […]

For the last few years I’ve photographed Ballet Spartanburg’s performances of the Nutcracker.  It is an honor to capture these incredible students and professional dancers that share the stage for this family favorite in the heart of Spartanburg, SC.  Most years I capture the dress rehearsals, this past year due to a wedding in Charleston […]
