There is just something about being in the south that makes me feel like I’m home! The sweet Carolina air, the friendly faces, and of course, the Chickfila! When Alyssa and Michael told me they were tying the knot in Charlotte, NC, I was SO excited! This adorable couple was married on October 26th at the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in front of all of their family and friends! After the ceremony, they headed to Byron’s South End for a true fall celebration, filled with pumpkins, candy apples, and pretty golden leaves! I can’t wait to share all of Alyssa and Michael’s beautiful photos with you, but for now, here is their SNEAK PEEK! Enjoy!
Alyssa’s shoes were from Disney’s Glass Slipper collection! I am in LOVE!
Alyssa, you make a STUNNING bride!
Alyssa and Michael chose not to see each other before the ceremony but this didn’t stop them from connecting! How adorable is this sneaky “first look”?!
Such sweet gifts from Alyssa to her mom and dad!
My favorite moment on the wedding day…when Michael saw Alyssa for the first time!
Alyssa and Michael started dating while they were part of an exchange program in China! They have been together ever since!
I LOVE this sweet shot! Great pose idea Mekina!
Alyssa and Michael brought their entire wedding party in on a crazy/fun first dance!
At the end of the evening, Alyssa and Michael released hundreds of wishing lanterns into the dreamy night sky! It truly was a magical moment!

Beautiful! I love so many of these pictures…the mom and dad gifts, the wishing lanterns, and the couple picture. Wow…just wow!
Amy, The pictures of Alyssa and Michael are beautiful. You have to love Michael’s expression when he first sees Alyssa. I love the little notes to the parents. Where were out notes? The first photo with leaves falling around the bride and groom with the wedding party is really creative and fun! My favortie is the photo of Alyssa and Michael outside looking directly at the camera.
