Christ Episcopal Church in Charlotte was the setting for Kristen and Greg’s beautiful wedding Saturday.
Prevalent heat and humidity didn’t stop anyone from having a good time as the group moved to Myers Park Country Club for a enthusiastic celebration.
The Atlanta band Papa Sol pumped out some fantastic music as seemingly everyone worked up a sweat on the dance floor. The Carolyn Shepard Design group helped create an elegant atmosphere for the party.
Todd Sumlin, a long-time friend, former co-worker at The Charlotte Observer and stellar photojournalist, came along and captured some wonderful photographs.
Thanks all for an amazing day and congratulations Kristen and Greg!
