JV and Char'lee's had one of those weddings that just made my heart so happy.... everything about it was so cheerful and full of, well... goodness. There were lots of high fives, laughing, happy tears, and hugs... and AWESOME dancing music :) Here are some of my favorites from the day... thanks for looking!
Char'lee's Louboutins were classy, understated, and elegant... just like her :)
Getting into a wedding dress can be quite complicated sometimes, but Char'lee had some great help.
Char'lee! You're beauuuuuutiful!
Smiles were everywhere you looked during the ceremony :)
Married!!!
One of my favorites of the day... I love these kinds of moments :)
Their first dance was so sweet :)
Beautiful light anyone? Yes, please!
I love the way Char'lee is looking at JV here...
One of my favorite bouquet photos ever! She was SO excited!!! (And she had the cutest hair and shoes on the planet.)
Details! Everything was so summery and fun... I especially LOVED the tent :)
