melissa & eric | wedding: part 1

what i loved so much about this wedding is that it was truly a beautiful southern wedding. it reflected so many things that i personally love (being raised in the south myself) and, in my opinion, perfectly reflected the bride and groom.  the location was rose hill plantation.... a gorgeous property set back in the hills of nashville, nc. 

to start the day off right, southern style, the ladies began their beauty preparation and had an elegant bridesmaids luncheon on a beautiful porch.  {it included pearls and sweet tea: perfect!}

i simply have to give a shout out to denise.  she did everyones hair and make-up, and i was super impressed!  she even used this spray/airbrush applicator for the foundation (pictured below.)  not to mention, when barack obama was in town, they called her to do his make-up.  (she declined, because she had a bride to attend to.)  she's definitely going under "people i like!"

all the while, the men were out in the fields "skeet shooting."  {i am quite familiar with this manly hobby as my husband loves it.}  then we headed out for portraits, which were a blast!  those guys were hilarious.
