Charlotte Wedding Photography: Caroline and Bryan

It was a Carolina Blue weekend as Caroline and Bryan and their families gathered for their  wedding at Myers Park United Methodist Church followed by a beautiful reception at Charlotte Country Club.

The weekend got off to a great start with the rehearsal dinner at The Duke Mansion where Tar Heel mascot Rameses made a special guest appearance for the two Carolina graduates.

Working with Caroline’s mother, Marsha, a great team of professionals pulled off the spectacular event. Planner Dina Berg Blazek and her group spearheaded everything along with the wonderful team of Kelli Taddonio and Alicia Wagner of Charlotte Country Club.

The Bloom Room created beautiful floral arrangements and the club ballroom was transformed by a tent-frame adorned with lights creating a night sky-like atmosphere. Add in a Kathy Allen Fine Cake and great music and you’ve got an amazing party.

And thanks to my great team which included company photographer Laura Mueller, my good friend, the talented Richard Israel, and our apprentice John Gomez.

Congratulations to Caroline and Bryan and their families!
