Dalton & John at Gastonia Country Club

 

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 captured this pattern which was on top of a wine cup on the glass.  I placed its snakish shape over the three crosses in the background.  I was feeling allegorical :)

I love the repetition of gesture here as the wedding coordinator adjusts one of the bridesmaids at the same moment the flower girl adjusts the other girls bow
