Just Because...

Sometimes I need to just share my thoughts and this is one of those times. As we promised, here are two wedding photos from Melissa and Mike’s wedding. The photos are absolutely beautiful, but not only because of Tammy Wingo’s photography skills, but because of what I know about this couple and their family. I got to know Melissa’s family over the last year and if I could bottle and sell the love and respect I witnessed, I would be a very wealthy woman. My wish for Melissa and Mike is that their love is always as radiant as the love I witnessed between her parents. ~Shawn

Beautiful Inside and Out: Melissa & Mike

Melissa and Mike have to be one of the sweetest couples. They have been an absolute pleasure to work with this past year. We have enjoyed working with them so much that it was kind of hard to see this day arrive! Melissa and Mike had their ceremony at the beautiful Hidden Haven Farm in Apex. The guest then traveled to Prestonwood Country Club for the reception. It was another beautiful reception at Prestonwood with excellent vendors to work with. A special thanks to Hidden Haven Farm, Prestonwood Country Club, Tammy Wingo Photography, FreshAffairs, EastCoast Entertainment and the Deja vu band, Total Production Services, CE Rentals, Udo & Emi Hildebrandt, Chip Harrell, and Blue Diamond Limo for all their work in making this day memorable for this wonderful couple. We can't wait to share wedding photos from Tammy Wingo!
