everyone is asking me about the ‘underwater wedding’ and how it went, so without further ado…:) eden and eric’s wedding was supposed to take place in her parents’ back yard. no detail was left unplanned except of course for the 5 feet of water that unexpectedly flooded the ceremony/reception spot days before the event was to take place. now most brides would fall apart, but not eden. she sent me an email that said her family was busy painting, rearranging, and laughing, yes laughing at what a great story this would be. they moved everything to the driveway where they created a wedding wonderland on asphalt. it rained the entire day which meant we took pictures in bedrooms, a living room, and on a small covered patio. the bride never frowned at the storm clouds that seemed to be never ending, she didn’t complain about the way the humidity might mess up her hair and she never mentioned how crazy it was to be photographing her bridesmaids next to her mom and dad’s dresser. she just kept repeating over and over, “i can’t wait to see him..” what a sweet reminder of what the day was really about – God’s faithfulness, patience, beauty, provision and love.
her dress was amazing and this next one is my new favorite dress shot
the rings 
this is how excited eden got each time a bridesmaid walked in. love her.
there's something about this picture that i just love. eden in the background had just slipped into her dress and surrounding her were her closest friends. supporting her, loving her and telling her that no bride had ever looked so lovely.
she looked like a classic, vintage beauty
due to the rain, the whole wedding party had to stay inside the house. eric waited patiently in this little corner..
his crew
eden works at edible art here in charlotte so of course her cake was beautiful
