Brawley-Wessel Wedding - 09.05.09

This past Saturday, Tara and Renda photographed the wedding of Erica Brawley and Andrew Wessel. Erica and Jessica were college roommates and are the best of friends, so as soon as Andrew popped the question, Erica reserved their big day with IP!

Erica and Andrew met when they began working together in Charlotte. Andrew proposed on their one year anniversary and they began their lives as Mr. & Mrs. Wessel on Saturday! The ceremony and reception was held at Firethorne Country Club in Ballantyne. The venue was absolutely beautiful and we couldn't have asked for better weather!



The wedding party was a fun group. All the girls grew up together, even graduated high school together. And the guys were great friends of Andrew's. Three of them drove HOURS from up north to be a part of his big day.

The talented Chelish Moore worked her magic once again! This was already a beautiful building with incredible architecture and details, but after Chelish was done, it looked AMAZING. Erica chose champagne and gold accents to go with the neutral flowers in her reception. Chelish was sure to cover every last detail.

The reception was a blast! Erica and Andrew chose Black & Blue as their band. They were great. The dance floor was packed all night!

Renda was sandwiched by two groomsmen at one point... but it doesn't look like she minded.

It was an honor to photograph Erica and Andrew's special day. They make a beautiful couple and we can't wait to show off all the images!
