“Cotton Beauty” Styled Wedding Shoot at River Creek Lodge

This shoot shows a bride’s dream wedding details. All of these wonderful vendors came together to make our vision of “Cotton Bluety” (that is what I almost named the shoot, instead of “Cotton Beauty” ?) come together perfectly.

Let me introduce them.

Are you ready to meet some of the most wonderful wedding professionals I have had the pleasure of wedding with?!

As well as the most epic real life couple I have ever photographed?! ?

 

Meet Jon (the groom) and Kodi (the bride)! Just wait until you see more of this stunning couple. They belong in a magazine!

They are so pretty that you think no way are they real people, but guess what… they are.

And Kodi is a physician assistant too. Pretty and SMART. ?hickory-charlotte-ashville-nc-senior-portrait-boudoir-engagement-couples-wedding-photographer-photography_0438.jpg

This amazing dress was custom designed by Meagan Kelly Designs. Have a special vision in mind for your wedding dress? Meagan is just amazing at what she does, and she is the sweetest. ?hickory-charlotte-ashville-nc-senior-portrait-boudoir-engagement-couples-wedding-photographer-photography_0433.jpg

Have I mentioned that Sweet T Flowers in Waxhaw is the absolute must go to florist?! I cannot think of words for how much I love this bridal headpiece they designed! ?hickory-charlotte-ashville-nc-senior-portrait-boudoir-engagement-couples-wedding-photographer-photography_0441.jpg

And guys, if you want to look sharp, The Tuxedo Lady in Charlotte is the lady to see. ?hickory-charlotte-ashville-nc-senior-portrait-boudoir-engagement-couples-wedding-photographer-photography_0432.jpg

Did I mentioned that Meagan Kelly Designs also offers Fur Wraps.

This Winter Styled Shoot would not have been complete without one! ❄️hickory-charlotte-ashville-nc-senior-portrait-boudoir-engagement-couples-wedding-photographer-photography_0439.jpg

Want a cake that is as tasty as it is pretty? The Icing and The Cake in Mooresville has got their recipe down pat. ?

And don’t you love how Sweet T Flowers’ floral tied in so well with the cake. Oh and that bouquet! ?hickory-charlotte-ashville-nc-senior-portrait-boudoir-engagement-couples-wedding-photographer-photography_0442.jpg

River Creek Lodge has a pond you can get married in front of! And a creek to play in. ?hickory-charlotte-ashville-nc-senior-portrait-boudoir-engagement-couples-wedding-photographer-photography_0431.jpg

Flower girls deserve the best…

So they need Dollcake Vintage in Australia! ?hickory-charlotte-ashville-nc-senior-portrait-boudoir-engagement-couples-wedding-photographer-photography_0443.jpg

If you are looking for the ultimate styling and decor then you need A Bushel and A Peck Vintage Rentals to be a part of your big day! Kelly has beautiful vintage furniture and pieces, and boy can she arrange them perfectly. ?hickory-charlotte-ashville-nc-senior-portrait-boudoir-engagement-couples-wedding-photographer-photography_0451.jpg

Question: Did you just get hungry?

Answer: Yes, and go to Liazzo’s Catering for all of your catering needs. ?
