Lake Norman Wedding: Alison and David

Alison and David gathered with family and friends for a picture perfect wedding along Lake Norman Saturday.
Alison’s parents are in the process of building a home on an incredible lot with beautiful lake views in almost every direction. And while the house isn’t quite finished, the lot and what was completed of the house provided a fantastic setting for the outdoor ceremony.
And you could hardly have asked for better weather with some sunshine and gentle breezes throughout the day and evening.
The clear tent from Party Reflections allowed for fantastic views and was a great place for eating and dancing.
It was only a few days ago that I photographed Alison and David’s engagement session (they live near Boston and it was the first chance we had), and I knew their wedding was going to be fun and relaxed.
Planner Ivy Robinson did a superb job putting all the pieces together. Elements Design of Charlotte created the florals and Cheesecakes Etc. made a beautiful cake. The Doug Burns Band kept everyone dancing with a great variety of music.
Our company photographer Laura Mueller did her usual stellar job as she documented the guys getting ready and even took a boat ride with them over to the ceremony.
Thank you to Alison and David and their wonderful families.
