Kimberly and Patrick held their wedding at the Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens in Belmont, NC this past May.  The area is quite beautiful and the staff is very accommodating to the wedding party and family.

Congratulations Kim and Patrick!

It’s hard to believe Amy and Matt had their wedding at the Hilton Garden Inn beach access in April of this year.  It just doesn’t feel that long ago we were in Kitty Hawk!  There were plenty overcast skies but the rain held off until the reception began.

Above: Important groomsmen activities.

Above: There was a slight drizzle during the pre-wedding photos.  Amy’s bridesmaids were very helpful!

Above: Don’t worry.  There was no mess!

Congratulations to you both!

Sunny and Ben had a handful of friends on hand for their wedding in Costa Rica.  The ceremony was held at the Hotel Villa Celetas which lies atop a rain forest in the Central Pacific of Costa Rica.

Congratulations to Sunny and Ben!

Okay it took me way too long to blog my trip to Costa Rica with Sunny and Ben to photograph their wedding.  I had an awesome time with them.  We went horseback riding and ventured into town while prepping for the wedding at the resort.  We stayed at the Villa Celetas hotel which is nestled in the rain forest about one hour from the San Jose airport.  Here are a slew of images from the day before their wedding.

Below:  Horseback riding in the morning.  We had an escort with us who took us through a wooded area on a dirt road.

Below: Once reach the top of the hill, we rested under this shelter and were given fruit from our guide.

Below: After horseback riding, we went into town for water and Sunny shopped for wedding favors.

Below: The amphitheater on the edge of the resort was the location of the wedding ceremony.  Only guests have access to it.
