As Seen on Style Me Pretty: The Ultimate Wedding Blog



If you've been following our blog for a while I'm sure you've heard me mention my girlfriends from college and how close we still are. This fall has been extra special because we've had two weddings in our group and as always it's been so much fun hanging out with our crew and recording all of the sweet moments on camera. Photographing a friend or family member's wedding is an absolute treasure and over the years we've done so many friends' weddings including some very big ones. I was Maid of Honor and photographer in both of my sisters' weddings and in this wedding, the one you are about to see... none of which of course I could have ever done without Dan (the man)... As you'll see it was a very fun and very busy weekend, one that I will absolutely never forget! Thank you James and Lindsey for a beautiful weekend, we love you guys so much. 

Before we get to the pictures, I have to say just a bit about James and Lindsey's crazy story. It's nothing short of something you'd see in the movies or read in a book. Lindsey & James met at the NCAA BCS National Championship Football game between Alabama & Texas in Los Angeles this past January. Lindsey was there with her family cheering for Alabama and James was the guy cheering for Texas sitting right beside her. Lindsey's mom says James couldn't take his eyes off Lindsey the whole game, he was just so drawn to her... And you'll see why in a second. On top of being gorgeous and having the most amazing eyes you've ever seen, she's a spectacular person, a great friend, and one of the most generous people I've ever met. Even though James lived in Dallas and Lindsey lived in Charleston they had a fairytale courtship and knew almost immediately that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. And the rest is history :) 

As always here are just a few of our faves!


These are the best boots, we all love them, they also come in tan and are really reasonably priced. If you are looking for a pair you can find them here
I'm loving this picture! I'm super pumped about blowing it up huge for our office!!

 I loooooved the bouquets, especially Lindsey's which you'll see in a minute. This is a bridesmaid bouquet -- so wild and fresh! Love it!

The Old Edwards Inn was just amazing, totally accommodating and gorgeous!! -- Highlands, NC, might be the cutest place ever and oh how we love a good, laid back North Carolina mountain wedding.

Lindsey's last name is Mason so they used Mason jars as decorations and for a signature drink.

The clothesline and intermittent flowers on the right was for a photo booth with an Instax camera at the reception -- even though the Instax is not Dan's favorite camera, us girls had a blast with it!
