Marcus and Yulanda tied the knot Saturday, May 24th at 4pm at the Peach Missionary Baptist Church in Durham, NC. The gorgeous ceremony was followed up by an outdoor tented reception, live music, gorgeous scenery, great food and great people…what else could you ask for?
Here are a couple of sample shots from Saturday:

Saturday was a great day, I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Meghann and Jim at White Memorial Presbyterian Church. The ceremony was beautiful, the weather was in full cooperation and the people were…well…the people were FUN! The reception was held at The Second Empire Restaurant in Downtown Raleigh. As soon as everyone arrived, the place went wild as it was clear that these people like to let their hair down and party! After a busy day documenting their beautiful day, I had a couple of drinks myself on the porch of this gorgeous restaurant before heading home for some much needed rest and relaxation. Here are a couple of shots that I snapped during my time with the Yakopic and Smits clan.

So yeah, that’s two rainy weekends in a row…but….we really needed the rain so I can’t complain too much. A rainy day for some, the most romantic day of their lives for others. Dana and Brian were married at 1pm today at Saint Francis of Assisi Church in Raleigh. This great couple had to move their date up unexpectedly from June, as Brian is a Marine and received orders to deploy to Iraq in June. So this couple had to bear down and re-arrange their entire wedding in just over three weeks!! I must say, it went off without a hitch. The ceremony was gorgeous, the food was delicious and the cake…err…hrmm….I didn’t get a piece!! Well, the cake looked great, but alas…I will never know.
I took the picture below in San Diego about two years ago and hereby dedicate this image to Brian. Be safe!

Hannah and David had planned to be married on the dock of a lake at Pine Lake Pavilion in Mebane, NC but Mother Nature had other plane. The good thing…Hannah had a back up plan and once it was sprung into action, everything fell into place. The wedding was gorgeous and after a few minutes no one even noticed it was raining outside. Here is a sneak preview of some of the pictures!!
