Just Married: Morgan + Mike

I love these two! They are so sweet together.  I met Morgan while working in Corporate Communications for a healthcare company based in Charlotte.  Our friendship continued even after I left to pursue wedding and event planning, and when the time came to hire a planner for her September 2013 wedding, I was honored to receive her phone call. Morgan is one of those girls who can just do it all.  And, you're like - come on, how?!  She's super smart, drop dead gorgeous, funny, driven, an amazing artist... the list goes on.  Mike is a fashionable guy, incredibly sweet, and works in the film industry in Charlotte.  Coolest job ever, right?  I'll never forget how she first described Mike. Let's just say, she eventually got to know him better and they realized how perfect they are for each other.  And, pretty much everyone who's ever meet them as a couple would say the same thing!

We came up with a modern and organic design that fit the venue, The Design Center Atrium, to the tee.  However, the rain was not something we planned for.  But, honestly, I can't imagine their wedding day without it!  Somehow, it just fit.  Believe it or not, we found these clear umbrellas the day of the wedding thanks to a neighbor of the bride, and they really made the photos pop. I always tell couples that things fall into place on the wedding day - and this is a great example of that. There are so many details from this wedding that I'm excited to share with you!

How much do you love these photos from Sarah Whitlow of Two Cents Photography? Absolutely stunning.  And don't miss the video from Morgan + Mike's wedding from the ultra talented David Whitlow. That's right, a husband-wife wedding power team. Love these two!

Now without further adieu...
