Last summer I got together with Hannah and Leland at Grove Winery & Vineyards for their
engagement session. We sure had a fun morning and I enjoyed getting to know them better! After planning their wedding with them starting last spring and into this past winter, I was so excited when their 4.29.17 wedding day was finally here!
It was a gorgeous day with no sign of rain. These two did a first look outside by the big iron gate which opens into the courtyard at the venue. With Leland's back towards Hannah, she walked up to him coming out from the building & tapped him on the shoulder. When he turned around you could see just how much in love he is with Hannah & she with him. It was so incredibly sweet to witness this!
Because the weather was perfect, they were able to have their ceremony outside in the courtyard by the tiered fountain. With three photographers documenting their day, we were able to get all angles of the ceremony! After they said their vows and had their first kiss, Hannah & Leland were pronounced husband and wife & they came back up the aisle as their guests threw colorful confetti at them!
And what an awesome reception Hannah & Leland had. From the introductions, to their DIY photobooth, and a fabulous sparkler exit at the end of the evening. Not to mention the music. Chase of K2 Productions did an incredible job of keeping everyone's interests and as a result, the dance floor was packed all evening. The personalized chalkboard was awesome and the cupcakes amazing! My favorite part of the day was when Hannah's uncle surprised these two with a hilarious song he wrote and serenaded them with at the reception. He's a professional musician, who has an amazing voice & plays guitar. This sort of thing makes a wedding so very special to a couple.
After enjoying a honeymoon traveling throughout Europe - Rome, Venice, + Scotland - Hannah & Leland reside in their new home in the Charlotte area with their dog, Ramsey, who was a special part of their engagement session too!
