A January Wedding

Who'd a thought you could a plan a wedding for January 2nd; outdoors, no less and have perfect weather. That's what happened this past weekend. 6 Bridesmaids and 6 Groomsmen all on a tiny pier and it looked great. They used Sawmill Grill for an oyster roast and trolley stop hotdogs completed the menu. Great Idea and everyone raved about the eclectic menu. For music they had Ethan Hanson, a fantastic Guitar player/singer who has opened for the Marshall Tucker Band who absolutely rocked the house. All in all a fantastic wedding. Jan Tedder-Rogers handled the details and everything looked perfect!

BELLAMY MANSION WEDDING, WILMINGTON, NC

I used to photograph weddings quite often at the Bellamy. It's been awhile since so many other wedding venues have popped up in Wilmington, NC. This was a small boutique type wedding at the Bellamy Mansion. The Groom is an active duty Marine Officer and when the Bride set the date she didn't realize it was the Marine Corps Birthday. Guarantee he'll never forget his anniversary. The Bellamy was on the cusp of being Antebellum as it was built right around 1860. Courtyard weddings are beautiful at the Bellamy, but indoor wedding tend to get a little crowded. The rooms are small but with high ceilings and keeping your guests together is a little like herding cats. For a small wedding it's ideal though as it has an intimate feel which feels more like your having a little house party rather than a wedding. Intimate and Beautiful is how I would describe this landmark venue. To make it even a little spicier it's also allegedly haunted. Here are a few photos from this wedding.
