Amanda + John. Walnut Lane Wedding.

I personally know about 30 people that are waiting for this blog post. A few weeks ago my very own brother was married and I am so excited to share these photos with you now! The wedding was held at Walnut Lane Bed & Breakfast in Pleasant Garden, NC amidst a backdrop of fall leaves, tons of family, and lots of love.

In the weeks leading up to the wedding I can’t tell you how many times I was asked if I would be photographing the wedding! Of course I wanted to be in the moment with my family during the ceremony, and break some moves on the dance floor later, but I couldn’t help doing some shooting too :) I had the always lovely Megan Finger there to cover the wedding so I could relax when I wanted to!

Walnut Lane has tons of great spaces to shoot in. . .

Carla White did Amanda’s hair and makeup. . . beautiful, as always!

I love that you can see Megan and I in the mirror. . . we had to make an appearance in at least one photo!

I loved the bridesmaids dresses on Amanda’s sisters. . . gorgeous!

The boys got ready downstairs . . .

John and Joe did some wedding coverage, too :)

Aren’t they handsome?

John had quite an audience while reading his letter from Amanda. . .

I usually don’t post family photos on my blog but this is a little different because it’s my family and they’re all so good looking!

Megan caught this photo of Amanda’s dad seeing her for the first time. So precious!

Isn’t the altar gorgeous?

Megan grabbed this photo right after the ceremony. I know they were excited to finally be married!

The girl from this big family . . .

. . . married the boy from this big family. That’s a lot of in-laws!

We all spent months gathering this vintage mismatched china and rolling paper flowers. . . it turned out so beautifully!

After dinner we took Amanda + John for a few portraits around the property . . .

I love this old tobacco barn!

Then it was back to the reception tent for dancing, cake, toasts, and more dancing!

I love John and Amanda’s reaction to the toasts. . .

Seriously, there was a lot of dancing going on that night . . .

A beautiful sparkler exit, and they’re off!

Amanda + John, I love you guys so much! We’re all so excited for you!

Check back later this week for images from the photobooth at the wedding!
