jennifer and ryan – lake lure inn and spa

Jennifer and Ryan were married at the 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa. I met Jennifer back in September, 2005, when she was a bridesmaid at Laura and Josh’s wedding. She came along to help with Laura’s bridal portrait. She also served as a bridesmaid at another friend’s wedding that I photographed in 2006. We have had many hour or longer conversations and she is not only a bride, she is a great friend. Ryan is always amazed at how much she tells me!

Jennifer and Ryan are so much fun! What a wonderful party they had. Dan from Premier Light and Sound kept the dance floor packed! It was a great time had by all. There are so many wonderful photos from their wedding. Patty from Carolina Roses in Kings Mountain went the extra mile on their flowers! She did a fantastic job and unlike most florists, Patty was there through the reception and set out the little candles in the pool after dark. Can you believe Jennifer found that beautiful dress at Bridal Mart?

A sweet note from Jennifer’s mom:
Regina, I just don’t know how to begin! The slideshow is wonderful! Doug & I watched it last night for over 2 1/2 hrs. Doug cried 3 different times. I think seeing what you captured on picture, well, it was more emotional than us going through it! You are remarkable & I can’t wait to see the others. Again thank you for caring about my daugher and her happiness. Sincerely, June Angel

Part of the handwritten note from Jennifer:
“Just wanted to thank you for a job well done! Our pictures are amazing! You captured so much emotion of our day. You went above and beyond in so many ways….I’m so glad we have become friends through our group of weddings.”



Ryan ended up with quite a bit of the delicious cake from Michelle at Icing on the Cake on his face.
