With a gorgeous fall day as the backdrop, Kristan and Dana were married at The Point Lake and Golf Club in Mooresville.
Beautiful florals from The Place for Flowers added to the autumnal feel on a sunny but sometimes chilly October day.
Kelley Cartrett-Phifer, director of private events, and the staff at The Point always do a fantastic job and it was great working with our company photographer, Laura Mueller.
Congratulations Kristan and Dana!
