{Lisa & Ben} The Ivy Place Wedding

 
 

I loved getting to work with Lisa and Ben over the course of their engagement!  The Ivy Place is one of my top three venues in all of the greater Charlotte area.  Lisa's vision was truly brought to life at this beautiful venue, and the weather was 100% perfect!  Beautiful light all day, perfect temperatures, and a sunset to die for.  When I posted Lisa's bridals, I said she was my Muse- and that feeling only continued during the wedding- the girl can't take a bad photo!  Ben was very dapper in his suit and their first look gave us plenty of time for photos- and with the weather and venue being so amazing, I am so glad they decided on that option.  Ben put so much work into the reception- he built the Bar and the table for their reception- and they were absolutely amazing!  The gold confetti send off was the first we've seen, and it was just so fun(albeit I think Lisa was EATING confetti at the end of the walkway!)  Here are just some of my favorites from their big day- and a slideshow at the end with more favorites.

Happy New Year!  All of our family functions have wrapped up, all left overs eaten, and we finally got some much needed rest in this house!  The holidays were filled with lots of wonderment with Sharpe turning 3 and beginning to understand more what Christmas is all about- and our little guy Shepherd just loving all the excitement, wrapping paper, and attention!  We had a blast celebrating the season (once we finally got there and out from under all of our orders and wedding edits!).  Yesterday we spent the New Year organizing our house, getting rid of lots of clutter and preparing for success in 2015 at home.  In the following week Joe and I can't wait to sit down and do some goal setting for personal and business stuff that I will be sharing here and recapping our 2014!  We have some fun stuff to share!  2014 was a 'bear' in many ways...mostly all good, but there were definitely things that "worked" and some things that didn't- and the Type A person in me needs to get that on paper so I can remember and learn from this past year.

But before we get to all of that, there is much blogging to do to catch up on the lost weeks that I am now calling "The Vortex" (pretty much the months of Oct, Nov, and Dec) We can't wait to shoot Tyler and Clint's wedding this year!  The fall brought so many beautiful engagement sessions!  Tyler's brother Nick got married in 2014, so we can't wait to celebrate with them two years in a row! I've said it before, but a family trusting us more than once is the greatest compliment any client can give us!  Here are just some of our favorites from our time together! It was CHILLY and WINDY, but these two were troopers and so much fun- I love them!  Happy Friday! and Happy New Year!
