Anne Kelly and Bill Edwards were joined in marraige November 11, 2006 at the lovely Aerie Bed & Breakfast, New Bern North Carolina. Anne and Bill are both such lovely people and were a pleasure to work with. The Aerie’s owners and staff also were a joy to work with. I know that the couple was extremely pleased with the Inn and the hospitality of its staff. Located at 509 Pollock Street in New Bern’s historic downtown area (and near its waterfront), for a nice weekend away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, or if planning an intimate wedding, you couldn’t go wrong with a stay at the Aerie.

The wedding took place in “The Carolina” room with Reverand Bonnie Compton preforming the ceremony. In attendance were members of both Bill’s and Anne’s families. For the reception the Aerie’s staff provided a buffet that included cold-cuts on croissants, a variety of cheeses and cold vegtables, and cold boiled shrimp.

Ever since she was a little girl Cherity had dreamed of riding off from her wedding in a horse drawn carriage. Her fiance, Kenneth Gurganous was just the man to make her dreams come true. A few days after her bridal portrait session (see Nurse Cherity and the Half-Naked Native) I received a call from Kenneth. He wondered if a) I could keep a secret and, b) would we be able to work a carriage ride into the wedding schedule. I was happy to give him a resounding yes to both questions. Making dreams come true, what a wonderful way to start a life together. Congratulations Kenneth & Cherity.

The wedding was held at the Saint Francis by the Sea Church, Indian Beach North Carolina. It is a beautiful location for a wedding. The interior of the church is simply gorgeous and the natural areas outside of it would be an excellent location for group portraits and shots of the newlyweds. Cherity, however, had other plans.

She really, really wanted wedding day photos taken at the beach. But the weather report for the weedend had been anything but promising for those plans. Luckily the sunshined for Kenneth and Cherity. Her chariot carried her to the near-by beach access where we took some lovely photos. I must apologize to the couple though. While intently working to set-up a shot I failed to notice a larger than average wave. Cherity laughed through the drowning and, with the help of her cheer, Kenneth was able to find the humor in it as well. Nothing like a loud “oh crap!” from your photographer as he runs backwards, camear clicking all the way.

The reception was also held at St. Francis by the Sea. Music was provided by T & L Karaoke Express. Catering by Macs. The wedding cake, one of the best I’ve ever tasted (and I’ve tasted a few) was made by Krissys’ Dessert Creations of Cedar Point, NC. The couple’s love for each other was apparent throughout the day. I know they’ll enjoy many happy years together.

Congratulations to Lindsey and Preston Mann. Friday the 13th has always been my lucky day and having the honor of sharing this ceremony only further proves it. The bride, groom and entire family were simply great to work with and to meet

Alon Morris, http://myspace.com/alonblog, was on hand to create a sketch of the wedding ceremony. This was a special treat that I hadn’t seen done at a wedding before. From the looks of the preliminary drawing the results should be simply outstanding.

I’d also like to thank Lacy Gadwill of Ever After Photography, for refering Lindsey and Preston to me. If you’re looking for a Charlotte North Carolina photographer be sure to contact Lacy.
