Although they no longer live in the area, Davidson College graduates Ann and Byers have a deep love for their school and wanted to get married on the historic campus.
Following a beautiful ceremony at Davidson College Presbyterian Church and some photos on campus, the party moved to The Point Lake and Golf Club in Mooresville for a rollicking reception.
There were many wonderful family moments throughout the day as both sets of parents, siblings and spouses and children played a big part in the events.
We are so blessed to have some amazing photojournalists working with us. Our company photographer Laura Mueller was out of town but Todd Sumlin stepped in and captured some fantastic images. Both Todd and Laura are among the finest photojournalists in the Carolinas and we are so thankful for their help.
Thank you also to Kelley Cartrett-Phifer, director of private events at the Point Lake and Golf Club, who did a fantastic job keeping everything organized and on track. The Men of Distinction kept guests dancing all night with a steady stream of great songs.
Congratulations to Ann, Byers and their families. It was a pleasure working with you all.
