All of my couples are so special to me, but Christi and James just truly felt like old friends from the minute I met them! It’s hard to believe this gorgeous wedding day at Vesuvius Vineyards has come and gone. I remember meeting these two cuties over Mexican food (James’ love of queso was mentioned at the wedding, of course) and now they are MARRIED! One of my favorite things about these two and about this day was how truly excited Christi and James were to become husband and wife. The gorgeous wedding day was just a bonus! Vesuvius Vineyards set the perfect stage for a gorgeous, chilly North Carolina wedding day.
This sweet couple knew each other from their church choir. Sparks flew on a trip they took with their choir to Germany, and the rest is history! I’m thrilled to share the photos from this beautiful day!
