Somehow it escaped my attention that Andrea and Mike were getting not just on March 17th, they were getting married on St. Patrick’s Day. How I did not think about this is beyond me. So the day before the wedding, I started to get nervous when I realized Charlotte would be participating in the largest bar crawl in history not to mention there was the annual parade in uptown as well! Which meant the closing of several main streets and thousands of people participating in this bar crawl. So there were literally green shirts crawling the streets.
Once we were in the presence of Andrea, all thoughts of St. Patty’s day and green shirts went out the window. She was stunning and calm. Her bridesmaids were friendly and helpful. It was the most relaxed pre-wedding shooting you could want. The ceremony was held at Historic St. Mary’s Chapel on 4th street in uptown Charlotte. This church is wonderful for small ceremonies. The historic feel and the park surrounding make for a beautiful setting. The reception followed at the Ritz-Carlton. Everything was simple but beautiful and the air was filled with celebration. There were a ton of smiles, laughs and guests on the dance floor. The perfect reception!
Andrea and Mike were wonderful to work with because they just were so at ease around each other and seem to be a no muss, no fuss kind of couple… just my style.
To Andrea and Mike – I wish you all the happiness in the world! I loved photographing your wedding. Cheers!!
