stacy & dan {i do | charlotte, nc wedding}

Happy Friday! We are super pumped to share Stacy & Dan’s fabulous wedding!!!Stacy’s motto for her hair and how she explained to Kymm, the fab h&m artist…”the bigger the hair, the closer to Heaven” ha. Love herI love that they wrote their own vows…Steven happened to see Dan’s vows at the hotel.     

this flower girl is so beautiful, her eyes are gorgeous!I love the excitement of Dan’s sisters seeing Stacy in her dress and ready to goStacy’s dad made this awesome ring box for themok, this was a little too much fun!

here are some of their gorgeous details at Byrons!

Stacy & Dan are HUGE animal lovers and decided in lieu of favors they gave a donation to help shut down a puppy mill. I thought this was so awesome of them!
It’s always the BEST feeling to see images you have taken of them displayed at their wedding!!!I LOVE their ombre chocolate cake….not to mention it was delicious!okay enough of the beautiful details, time for the ceremony to start….this is one of our favorite views in the Design Center. I think it is obvious we are obsessed with architecture and this shot oozes fab architecture! This was the moment Stacy realized that when she laughed she also snorted (another thing we have in common). I almost couldn’t take the pictures because it was so funny, her face was priceless. My favorite thing about this moment was that it was so her!It was raining and pretty gross outside, drinks were in order:)Instead of heading outdoors with the large bridal party we decided to keep it inside…I LOVE this series of pictures. Again, raining like crazy outside and they wanted to try to stay indoors so we used a spotlight that was there for their ceremony as a backlight and made this intimate moment beautiful!Another favorite….Just looking at this cake again makes me so hungry!Time for the part-tay!Time for some vendor love with this amazing couple! Below is Steve and his hottie wife Erica of Ashley Baber Weddings, she did such an amazing job planning their shindig!

Thanks Stacy & Dan! You guys are freaking amazing and we had SO much fun with you two!!!!
