A Graylyn wedding: Janet & Paul

We started the 2011 wedding season off in style at the venerable Graylyn Estate to celebrate the nuptials of Janet and Paul - what a great time! Everything was planned to perfection by Patti Davis Weddings (including the florals), Updo's made sure everyone looked their best, and the mid-March weather was perfect as well... not too hot, not too cold... just perfect! After a "first look," Janet and Paul wed beneath Graylyn's famed garden gazebo, then after a fabulous dinner, danced the night away in the Atlantis room. Congrats guys!

Winston-Salem Photography: Brandi & Chris, the wedding

Brandi and Chris tied the knot at the lovely Graylyn Estate over Labor Day weekend and the fete was beautiful. These two had sweet personal touches sprinkled throughout the day, including a butterfly theme, which was a tribute to Chris' late grandfather. Here are some highlights from the big day. The couple was all smiles and we loved being there! Congrats guys!

Graylyn bridal photography: Brandi and Chris

Well, to be honest, it was a bridal session that Chris got invited to! Not ones for tradition, Brandi and Chris thought it would be great to have a bride and groom session at beautiful Graylyn in Winston-Salem this past week. All the better for us! It gets all those shots out of the way on the wedding day, and they can head right into the reception! We had a great time, and we're looking forward to the wedding!

Kelley and Rich

Kelley and Rich tied the knot at Wait Chapel in Winston-Salem. Kelley is a Wake Forest alum, and got a kick out of the toilet papering which took place on the quad during their ceremony. The bride and groom were sure to get in on the action, as you will see. It was a great wedding and they are a great couple! Have fun in Mexico!!
