It seems like just yesterday that Anna Katherine (and her MOH Kalei!) sat down with me for the first time to chat about all things wedding plans and photography. I hadn’t been living in North Carolina for very long, so it was fun being introduced to all the fun southern traditions that Anna Katherine and Denny incorporated into their wedding. I learned all about how important football games are in the south, the bond and sisterhood of sorority sisters, monograms on all types of gifts, shag dancing/music, and one of my most favorite – the southern cooking! Both of them were simply beaming during the engagement session – so ready and excited for the big day to get here! Even though the wedding was in the middle of December, it turned out to be a beautiful day and McBryde Hall (Winthrop University) was a breathtaking place to have a reception! The ceremony was filled with personal elements that brought the entire room together in community and celebration of the union of Anna Katherine & Denny in a special way. I especially loved the way the couple really honored and appreciated those present both in person & spirit. Oh and can I talk about the live music at the reception? I’ve been to a few weddings now that have live music – but this band got EVERYONE (and I mean EVERYONE) up and dancing. From the moment the band started, no one was sitting. The ENERGY in the room was crazy and it was such a joy to photograph. One of their goals was to make sure everyone was having a great time, and I think they accomplished that BIG time. A huge huge thank you to Sunny for joining me in photographing their special day (and explaining what shag dancing was lol!) Enjoy the look into Anna Katherine & Denny’s big day! Heart u both! xox
