Brittany & Eddie

Brittany and Eddie grew up in historic Beaufort on the coast of North Carolina and Amaree and I were absolutely thrilled to come to Beaufort for their wedding. Their wedding day was on a crisp fall day with beautiful bright Carolina blue skies. :)

All of the wedding day festivities were in downtown Beaufort, which made it such a wonderful day seeing the town. St. Paul's Episcopal Church is Eddie's family church and it dates back to 1857. The church (inside and out) was absolutely breathtaking.


Before heading to the reception at Eddie's grandfather's house on Front Street facing the water front, we took some pictures of the newly married couple together. These next few pictures are just outside St. Paul's Church, as well as sitting on one of the pews inside.


The reception was a fabulous evening at Eddie's grandfather's house on the water front. It is an amazing house and I think describing it as a house is a bit of an under statement! I heard that Eddie's grandmother used to love throwing parties at the house, so it was great to have his grandfather host their wedding reception!

Brittany and Eddie's first dance together was beautiful to watch. You could really see how happy they each were to swirl around in each others arms in front of all their family and friends. :)



The wedding cake was classic and looked so beautiful up on the porch of Eddie's grandfather's house. Even as the lights dimmed throughout the night, the cake looked amazing.

Amaree and I always wonder what's going to happen when the bride and groom cut the wedding cake. Will they play nice when feeding pieces to each other, or will they smear wedding cake all over each other?

We had our guesses about Brittany and Eddie and when it came time to cut the cake, they definitely had a fun time smearing it all over each others' faces!

The reception was a massive dance party the whole night through, largely in part to the awesome cover songs being played by tHE.DESIGN! It was amazing how packed the dance floor was throughout the evening and members of the band would jump down and mix in with the wedding guests...it was great!

Here are some pictures of each of the members of tHE.DESIGN.


I always love sparklers. Brittany and Eddie's sparklers were such a perfect way for their wedding guests to send them off to their honeymoon. Here is a fun picture of the happy couple making their way through the line of sparklers!
