October 24, 2009 Wedding| Raleigh Wedding Photographer

Lori and Bijal got married at Highgrove on October 24. We really enjoyed being a part of their special day. They had some great vendors, amazing details and are just so happy and in love that it was a pleasure to document their day. Loved their smiles all day long! :) We had some light rain before and even during the ceremony, but they were still able to have their beautiful ceremony outside and we were able to get some outside formals too. Their Christian/Hindu ceremony was performed by Reverend Kayelily Middleton who always does such a great job making the ceremony meaningful and personal for each couple.

Here are a few favorites from their day. It was so hard to choose!

This one makes me smile:)

Carol and Jamie had planned a destination wedding for October 18 in Corolla, OBX. It was cold and rainy and they were forced to move their outdoor ceremony and reception inside. Nannette with A Proper Setting, did a wonderful job rearranging everything and it still turned out to be a beautiful day. Carol and Jamie, along with their bridal party and guests had the best attitudes and truly enjoyed their special day. We even ventured outside in the rain for some bride and groom shots and a shot of all the guests!

Here are a few favorites from their day.

What an awesome wedding in Puerto Rico!
I went to school with Lara, the bride, and it was so great to be able to document her and Rey’s special day!

There are lots of images that I want to share, so I will make two separate posts.

Here are some of my favorite images through the bride and groom formals. I will add some from the reception and their day after session in another post very soon!

I like the reflection in the middle image below.
