Christine + Michael = WEDDING DAY!

Stockroom at 230 Wedding Day  |  Raleigh NC  |  Christine + Michael  |  July 21, 2018

 

Never have we seen BOTH a bride and groom enjoy the dance floor as much as Christine and Michael did on their wedding day!!!! From beginning to end, their day was full of so much JOY, it was hard not to keep a smile all day without our cheeks hurting!!!

We started off the day at Christine’s childhood home. She had put SO much thought into getting ready, and had transformed her bedroom into literally a BRIDAL SUITE!!! Christine had gold details from her floral chandelier to a mirror and neutral furniture that made for a stunning backdrop. They also provided us with beautiful, meaningful details to photograph. The gold ring with the blue sapphires was her “something borrowed and blue” because it was a gift from her dad to her mom when Christine was born. Cue the tears!!!!

The girls were so much fun throughout the morning, helping each other finish makeup, tie sashes, and provided so much laughter and teasing throughout the day. After Mass, we headed downtown Raleigh to photograph ALL the portraits. Now let me tell you…. ANY bridal party who are good sports in the heat of a North Carolina JULY wedding posing OUTDOORS are my kind of people!!!! They were all troopers (especially the guys in their Tuxes, I mean seriously!!!) and made things lots of fun!

Michael and Christine were just PRECIOUS during their portrait time. The way they look at each other and truly adore each other is so beautiful. They laugh easily together, and their smiles light up their eyes. Their bride/groom portraits are some of our FAVORITE we’ve ever taken!!

We headed straight over to cocktail hour at The Stockroom at 230 after portraits to photograph the space! Julie Barry (Floral Designs by Julie) did a beautiful job adding fresh florals to the industrial space, and it looked magical with all the twinkling lights hanging from the ceiling.

The food by Rocky Top was DELICIOUS as always, and before all the guests were even done eating, people were ON THE DANCE FLOOR! It was amazing! The rest of the evening, Liquid Pleasure KILLED IT while Michael and Christine’s guests partied the night away!!!! We had SO MUCH FUN watching the band, and seeing how much everyone was having a blast. The fun that Christine and Michael have together was exemplified when they were dancing together – it was so adorable!!!!

The evening ended with an awesome sparkler exit all the way down to a rickshaw that was waiting with “Just Married” on the back!!! It was a perfect way to end one of the most FUN days!!!!!
