weddings | Charlotte NC Wedding Photographer. Lindsey Lee Hartsell

They did it! They got married:) My sister in Law, Julia, and Matt were married at the Dairy Barn in Ft. Mill, SC last month! It was perfect, amazing, fantastic....and as Julia and I would say: "The vision was completel"! :) After months of planning, their day could not have been more perfect. 90% chance of rain gave way to a beautiful Carolina Day. Julia looked amazing, Matt shined up ok, too:) and our whole family celebrated and it was SUCH a great time! Of course, my little guy Sharpe was the ring bearer that refused to ring bear....but he still looked cute in his outfit. And if one thing about the day came as a surprise to me, it was that Wes (Joe and Julia's dad) did NOT become a puddle when it came time to give Julia away. If I could have bet someone 10k he would have lost it, I would have taken that bet! But he was all smiles and a proud "pops"- and I was super glad I didn't have a bet going! Who did become a puddle??....ME! There was one moment that just gave way to the ugly cry, and it came out of nowhere! When Julia was coming down the isle, she just looked so beautiful and happy- and it was like the last 10 years flashed before my eyes. I am so happy for these two! Here are some of my favorites from the day....and don't forget to watch the slideshow at the end for more! (and if you look closely, you'll see Joe and I IN a wedding party!). Love my family! Happy Weekend!

Picure of a picture- Julia as a flower girl:)

Julia is so lucky to have so many amazing friends in her life. Truly. Love every one of these girls!

Kelly look familiar???

Neutral palette for the win!!!

Sibs. I swear they all look so different, but so alike!

Yup, this is when my ugly cry happened.

Perfection. May you always remember that feeling....and the feeling of the photo after this one, too. You are going to need both.

Yes, these CRAZY animals made it for a photo-opp. Their first set of children. I pray the second set are much more well behaved;)

i can't.

It's Monday night, so while I watch my guilty TV pleasure (besides The Bachelorette)- Dancing with the Stars- I am thinking back on this past weekend…it was a dream….and a bear!!! Two amazing weddings!! We made it:) And honestly, with the cooler temperatures, it wasn't too bad. All of the double headers we have had in the past have been with VERY warm weather, which seems to take an extra amount of energy that is hard to get back for a few days. But this weekend, a dream…all of it! We are going to need to play lots of catch up to get through September and October edits! Meet Danielle! I have loved getting to work with Danielle and Drew over the course of their engagement (and on a secret project we have yet to show, too!). Their wedding was fabulous!! Amazing time with friends and family and one of the best parties we have seen all year! I can't wait to share! In the meantime here are some of her bridal portraits we took on the campus of Duke. Drew is a HUGE Duke fan so Danielle wanted to surprise him with some bridal portraits in Cameron Stadium. We had such a blast! View some of my favs- the camera loves her so she made it hard to pick! Happy Monday!

Life is full of so many full circle moments lately! Mary Chandler was a bridesmaid in Katelyn's wedding- oh how I adore when past bridesmaids turn brides! When we did their engagement sessions last fall, I met Will and learned he was going on Young Life staff. How fun! Well, then, at MC's bridal portrait, I learned Will had been placed on staff in Salisbury! Where I was on staff for three years! So fun! The people in Salisbury are THE BEST and I know they are going to make these two newlyweds feel right at home and part of the family. And what a gift Salisbury is getting in Will! I loved my time getting to work with these two and their wonderful families! Here are some of my favorites from their wedding day- and also their Photo Fusion at the end! Don't forget to take a look. Happy Monday!

Working with Morgan and Sam this past year has been so much fun! They are one of those couples that I actually sorta hate to see the wedding come and go because I know I won't have as many opportunities to see them! Their wedding in Blowing Rock was just pretty as a picture (see what I did there??;)). Morgan and her maids were such a dream to work with and Sam and the guys made the day so fun! The rain held off and left us with the mountain fog…which made for some amazing moments. Their fusion is one of my favorite ones to date! Check it out at the bottom of this post. Morgan and Sam- hope the summer has been kind to you sweet newlyweds. Hope to see you at a friends wedding, soon!

The day we spent with Eleanor and Will could not have been more perfect! At a family property in Blowing Rock that has been enjoyed by 7 generations- Eleanor and will said their vows in front of 100 of their closest friends and family.

I met Eleanor back in 2006 when she was a high schooler on one of my Young Life assignments. This job has come full circle for me so many times to my college and first job days. Reconnecting with Eleanor has been one of those one of those fun surprises that life brings. One hot summer with no air conditioning, feeding 300 kids a day, 3 times a day, for a month...sweating...then sweating some more- Eleanor was one of my go to girls: Dependable, Trustworthy, Sweet, Honest, and Caring. When others complained, she worked harder and focused on her purpose. I know these are the qualities that she now brings to her relationship with Will...and what a lucky guy to have her! I was immediately impressed with Will when we first met to talk about the wedding...his love for Eleanor is so clear and deliberate. And he just gets her!

Thank you guys for choosing us. For having an amazing wedding on the side of a mountain. And for trusting us to be with you on such an important day. Don't forget to watch the slideshow at the end for more photos and spectacular views. We loved working with Fuchsia Moss on flowers and The Elegant Event on planning. These ladies are wonderful! Hope we get to work together again, soon!
