Brooke and Zeke tied the knot on April, 21, 2018 at the beautiful Baker Buffalo Creek Vineyard, located in Fallston, NC.  Their ceremony was filled with laughs, love and a whole lot of beauty.  Take a look at how their day unfolded.

The details (secretly one of my favorite things) were on point.  Wine corks and wedding rings....oh my!

Zeke had this necklace made for Brooke.  The pieces belonged to his great-great grandmother and he had it made for Brooke to wear on their wedding day.  I had to force myself to not keep taking pictures of it.  Isn't it stunning?

Can I just brag on these guys for a minute?  My usual wedding schedule allows the groom and groomsmen to have their pictures taken right before the ceremony.  This gives them more time to relax before they have to get dressed.  For this wedding we flip flopped and asked the guys to go first and they didn't even complain once.  They were ready and waiting for me at the EXACT time I gave them.  Talk about superstars....  Just take a look at Brooke and Zeke's dog, Butters.  Needless to say, he stole the show.

Brooke and her bridesmaids got ready in the beautiful home at the vineyard.  There was a small bedroom at the back of the house that was surrounded by windows and had the most amazing light.  It was super small but we made it work.  At one point there were three (yes I said three) photographers crammed into this room.  BUT, it was TOTALLY worth it!

Brooke and Zeke exchanged hand written love letters to each other.  One of my favorite moments....

If you know anything about Brooke's dad, he is the life of the party.  I can tell....  :)  (foreshadowing for some images later in the blog)  She and her dad have a wonderful connection and the gift she gave him says it all.

And let's talk about this special lady, the mother of the bride.  She is the epitome of a mom to Brooke.  She was involved from the earliest beginnings of wedding planning, through the hard decisions about details, to the reception decorating and clean-up.  She loves her daughter fiercely (you can tell each time she looks at her) and is her biggest champion. Just look at them!  (Insert heart eyes here...)

Off of the back of the barn at Baker Buffalo Creek is an amazing covered sitting area for wedding guests which makes a fabulous ceremony space.  Brooke and Zeke's ceremony was beautiful and you can tell they are loved by so many.

Butters couldn't hang.....

My favorite time of the day! 

Everything about their reception was perfect.  The venue, the food, the decorations, and the awesome VW photobooth bus from Carolina Booth and Bus!  Take a look.

Much love you two!  Thanks for letting me capture your special day!!

XOXO!
