"We plan and God laughs"

I think this should be the official quote for 2020.

Like many couples in 2020, Julia and Evan had planned a large wedding and reception only to pivot their plans thanks to COVID.

Couples decided to pivot in different ways- some postponing, some canceling all together and some deciding to host a micro wedding. Julia and Evan decided to keep their original 11/20/20 wedding date and have a small wedding in her parent's back yard (and then plan to have a big party next year at Quail Hollow Country Club).

I am so excited to share some photos from the day (and look forward to planning their large celebration for a little later in this year)

A big thank you to the vendor team who quickly and seamlessly worked with us on the pivot!

amy and vincent | tie the knot | the vanlandingham estate

Two days in to 2021, we celebrated the wedding of Amy and Vincent. Like most couples planning last year, 2020 was not all that kind to them and made us pivot our plans for their wedding- adjusting the venue just two months before the wedding.

We originally planned to have the wedding in a country club setting, but because of Covid restrictions- we needed to move the wedding to a venue that could accommodate a tent. Enter the newly remodeled Van Landingham Estate. With just two months before the wedding, we adjusted the design and plans to go from an indoor ballroom to a tent. And I have to say-- I couldn't love it more!

Thank you to the amazing group of vendors who worked who tirelessly to make this wedding the special day that it was!

alex and austin | tie the knot | north corner haven

Well, to say 2020 has looked a lot different than I (we) all anticipated when the year began, is an understatement. I had weddings booked in 2019 for 2020 that have now been pushed well into 2021. Thankfully, this wedding was not one of the many effected by COVID- mainly due in part to the venue being in South Carolina (crazy how mandates are so different state to state).

So, as planned- Alex and Austin got married at North Corner Haven on October 17th. Besides an abundance of hand sanitizer and vendors in masks- all seemed fairly 'normal'... like life prior to a pandemic.

The day was gorgeous. We could not have asked for better fall weather. Warm during the day and crisp as the sun went down over the clear top tent - just in time for dinner.

Please enjoy some of my favorite images from the day, courtesy of Ashley Louise Photography.
