Grace & Michael's Wedding ~ Winston-Salem, NC

A lovely day on the first of October provided the perfect setting for the wedding between Grace and Mike. They were married in the beautiful Reynolda Church with a reception following at Forsyth Country Club. These two are a sweet couple with a loving family! Here are some of my favorite images from the day that Alexa and I captured.

Grace and Michael's Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

Grace and Michael met in NYC, but decided to get married in lovely North Carolina as Grace's family lives in Winston-Salem. The story of how they met sounds like the script of a movie... Mike left his cell phone in a taxi cab which Grace found later on in the day. She was able to return the cell phone, she got to know the guy that lost it... and a few years later they are here on the night before their wedding day celebrating their love with family and friends at the beautiful Brookberry Farm venue.

Mike is a Water Polo player and his buddies were at the rehearsal dinner. This cake has water polo guys swimming around a keg of beer!
