Leighton and Quentin celebrated a wonderful winter wedding at the Charlotte City Club surrounded by family and friends.
The couple live in New York City but Leighton grew up in Charlotte and they met while attending Wake Forest University.
I first met Leighton’s family in Highlands, NC, while photographing her brother Ross’s wedding and it was great to see Ross and his wife Kristin with their little girl, Tenety. Leighton was also a bridesmaid in Jackie and Stuart’s wedding, which we photographed in 2008.
Nathan Hoffman, director of private events, and his staff at the City Club do a fantastic job and it’s always a great working with them.
I also had the great fortune of having my very good friend and amazing photographer Richard Israel along to help photograph some of the preparations and the ceremony. We will be collaborating on some special projects and it was superb working with him.
Congratulations to Leighton and Quentin and their families. It was such a pleasure working with you all!
