Congratulations Erin & Shaun!! These two were married in an event completely organized by the bride’s two event planner sisters. It was a family affair, full of love, excitement, nerves, anticipation and .. oh yeah … FUN! What a fun way to celebrate a new marriage … absolutely surrounded by family and the closest friends possible.

I am amazed at each wedding I attend, at how *family* is such an intricate part of the event. And in this case, it was even moreso! Hosted in the downtown Raleigh Cardinal Club, this event was chock full of laughter, tears, hugs and massive group photographs. 😀

If ever a bride wants a roof top event, she should consider the Cardinal Club. While it was a hazy, hot, summer day for this bride, it was still awesome … looking out from the top, down on the world, knowing that in just minutes, these two would take the same view from a completely different perspective.

Now, on to some photos!
I know we all love to focus on the bride as she gets ready, but this one was fun … this is Dad of the bride … and doesn’t his expression just say it all? 😉

I loved this one of the bride’s dress as she was escorted down the aisle.

Ten points for the Cardinal Club. They have a stairway to heaven. 😉 Could you resist a kiss and photo on these steps? I couldn’t!!

Or … from another perspective ..

A little break dancing anyone?

Bond … James Bond. Oh, and Bond … James bond. We just won’t tell you who is who.
