Wedding Weekend in Dunn

The weather was beautiful this weekend as I traveled to Dunn, N.C., for the rehearsal dinner and wedding of Jennifer and Hammett.
Jennifer is a law student at nearby Campbell University and Hammett is the son of our friends Mark and Diane. Mark and I worked together at The Charlotte Observer and I was honored to have the chance to document these events.
The weekend kicked off with a wonderful party hosted by Jennifer and Hammett's good friends Jodi and Wiley. Their beautiful home was the perfect setting as family and friends shared a Low Country Boil.
Jodi also served as the wedding director and their children, Jackson and Virginia, were the ring bearer and flower girl.
Following the wedding ceremony at the First Presbyterian Church, everyone headed to the Howard House for the reception.
Thanks to everyone for a great weekend!
Jennifer and Hammett were going to spend a few days at the Pinehurst Resort before Jennifer headed back to class. I hope you played well at Pinehurst No. 2 Hammett!

Jennifer's Portrait

Betsy and I travelled to Lincolnton Saturday to take bridal portraits at the home of our friends Mark and Diane.
Jennifer is marrying their son, Hammett, in a few weeks and we appreciate them letting us use their beautiful house for the shoot.
Mark and I worked together at The Charlotte Observer for many years and I'm really looking forward to documenting their celebration. Mark, who is responsible for supplying the Observer's photographers with all of the latest equipment, is very good with a camera and he took a few pictures during the shoot.
Jennifer looked classically beautiful in an heirloom dress first worn by her grandmother.
We don't want to show too many of the photos but here are a couple of early favorites.

We loved this setting
