Sunny and Cameron were fun all day long, and didn’t slow down when the reception hit!

They get groovy!

Beer Cozy Favors!

Cameron’s father gives a toast, beer cozy in hand!

Sunny takes off her veil and has Shanon put in the floral hairpiece, I loved this look!

Things got a little competitive during the bouquet toss!

Thanks to all of you for being so kind and fun, I hope I get to hang out with this crowd again soon!

I really enjoyed their playful mood, and Cameron had NO difficulty making Sunny laugh and smile, an excellent quality in a husband ;-)

Party photos soon to follow!

And as soon as they walk down the aisle, the rain POURED down!

Luckily for all of us, it didn’t last and cleared up just in time for portraits which I will post soon!

See all my favorites from Sunny & Cameron’s wedding at this link!

The Jefferson Landing Club in Jefferson, NC is not only an unexpected thing to find in that small town, but it is simply gorgeous!  Sunny prepared for the wedding at a suite on the private grounds.  Her personality certainly suites her name, I can’t wait to post more from this wedding!  You can view my favorites on their facebook album!

On February 27 I had the opportunity to shoot with Lacey Gadwill again!  I assisted her for Dalton & John’s wedding ceremony at First Presbyterian in Gastonia, NC followed by a beautiful reception at the Gastonia Country Club.  It was pulled off without a hitch by Heather Bryson of Carolina Wedding Design!

I had a lot to smile about at this wedding, because The Sutherland had sparkling lights all over their gorgeous clear-top tent!

They are willing to explore despite formalwear.

They unabashedly admit dependence upon those who love them.

I love kids during weddings.  They have no idea what is going on, but they are enamored by the people they love.
