Sara and Steven

The skies were threatening in Oriental, NC, but the rain held off for Sara and Steven's wedding at China Grove Plantation. The dramatic clouds made for some awesome photo-ops, and shade for the bright sun that would shine through every once and a while. Steven is a Marine, and just got back from Iraq - we appreciate you!

On a sad note, this was the last wedding to be held at China Grove Plantation. The owners sold the house, and will be working on other things. It remains to be seen if the new owners will continue to hold weddings - we hope so!

The beautiful bride...


Sara got her gorgeous Vera Wang Dress off of ebay... now that's smart shopping!

Kelley and Brett

We made the 4-hour drive down to China Grove Plantation in Oriental, NC for the wedding of Kelley and Brett. The house was charming, the weather was perfect, and the the mood was festive. The whole day just had a great vibe to it!

An ideal location...
