Charlotte Wedding: Katie and Rob

Katie and Rob’s wedding was a wonderful family affair.

The day started with the ceremony at Myers Park Presbyterian Church and moved to the reception at Myers Park Country Club.

Katie and Rob are a fun, relaxed couple and they made everyone feel at ease. From the time they set aside to see each other before the ceremony to the end of the night they were a pleasure to work with.

Todd Sumlin, a talented photojournalist I’ve known for many years and had the pleasure of working with at The Charlotte Observer, worked as a second photographer and captured some beautiful images.

Planner Leslie Schlernitzauer, a family friend who also runs Porcupine Provisions with her husband Bruce, did an excellent job keeping everything on track. In Bloom created the florals and Haines Barksdale of For Goodness Cakes created another beautiful confection. The Voltage Brothers provided the soundtrack that had everyone on the dance floor all night long.

A special thanks to Katie’s parents Debbie and Pat who made the day so enjoyable for everyone.

Congratulations Katie and Rob and have fun in Hawaii!
