I recently had the pleasure of photographing Martie and John’s wedding at Brier Creek Country Club. The bridal session took place in mid-September on an unseasonably cold day. However, Martie looked great and we had a fantastic shoot in and around the ballroom. Martie was even brave enough to venture outside for a few minutes!
Here’s a baker’s dozen of my faves from the day. Wedding pictures coming soon…
