NACE 2009-06-16

Last night I attended the monthly Charlotte NACE meeting held at the Vanlandingham Estate.  We're excited to say that we're a new member to this fabulous organization.  Check out NACE when you get a moment.  Our fabulous friend Ivy Robinson was the guest speaker with the 'It's Not Yo Mama's Wedding' speech. We're also pumped to be on the planning committee for the huge NACE National Conference held here in the Queen City in July.  It's going to be an experience like no other.

Hollywood name and Porsche please... 2009-06-17

Handsome guy, check.  Hollywood name, check.  Porsche, check.

Sasha Broadway landed Mr. Right just as she said she would!  Her jokes actually came true when she met Mick Barry.   
What a beautiful couple.  We had posted their eSession a few weeks ago and have been dying to show you the rest!  Here are a few shots from her portrait session at the Duke Mansion with Kristin Vining Photography, along with some classic shots on their May wedding day. Cortenay Matters designed and planned this amazing day from beginning to end.  Sasha's mom was a hoot...and we always love to see moms and brides who truly adore each other as these two did.  I love the last photo KVP grabbed below of the two - precious.
Sasha, we're set for wine and dinner soon - Can't wait to see the pics from FIGI!

Scorcher...but Congrats to Catherine and Stuart! 2009-06-20

We are about to leave to drive to Saratoga Springs for the beautiful wedding of Catherine Haydon and Stuart Spencer!  We'll get all 9 gals ready with hair and makeup, and do our best to prepare them for the outside ceremony in the 100+ temps.  Congrats Catherine and Stuart! How adorable are they!

Tomorrow we're off to the beach for a few days....If we're delayed in our response, we apologize, and will get back to you before the end of the week. 
Tomorrow kicks off the beginning of Summer, whoo hoo! (more...)

The oh-so-talented Tommy McCart recently shot this eSession for our client (and friend) Amy Weyant and her fiance' Brian.  They have the sweetest pups that joined them at their shoot at the Vanlandingham. Their October 17th will be here before we know it!
