Intimate Backyard Summer Wedding in North Carolina

Meredith and Marty are truly one of those down to earth couples that “just knew” early on.

Marty proposed after just 6 months and they married on their one year anniversary of dating. Their backyard summer wedding held under the shade of a giant tree was perfect and it was truly a family affair. The wedding was held at Meredith's sister’s house, they had a dear friend officiate, and her mom made the cake! There is something so special about having your loved ones not only celebrate, but help create your wedding day vision.

They certainly had me laughing and holding back tears all day! At one point, the bridesmaids literally created a wall to block Meredith so Marty wouldn't see her before the ceremony. In a panic Jake even jumped in to help create the wall and we were all laughing.

Marty teared up reading the gift Meredith had given him; a journal of notes she had started writing to him all the way back to their first date! Gosh is that not the sweetest idea? Can I go back in time to do that?!

But the best part was certainly his reaction seeing Meredith walk down the aisle. He was trying to hold back tears the whole time and you could feel the joy and excitement wrapped in this peaceful realization that their dreams were coming true. And then...his sweet grandma, noticing this, quietly handed him her handkerchief.

The rest of the day was a classic backyard summer party with delicious food, corn hole, dancing and sparklers. At the end of the night they said to us, “You’re family now, set your cameras down and come dance!”. Basically our favorite perk of the job because we both lovveee to dance! (Incase you hire me...you've been warned.)
