“No measure of time with you will be long enough. But let’s start with forever.”

— Edward to Bella (and Crystal to Barb)

I met Barb at an event last year and we just connected right away. I knew I had to shoot their big day no matter what. She is such a kind person and was so overjoyed to tell me all the little surprises she had in store for Crystal. Like that fact that she got Crystal’s favorite band to give a video shoutout to them for their special day! What I didn’t know was that Crystal had her own surprises in store for Barb! She created a skit and sang a special song! It was so sweet to watch them get so excited about surprising each other.

In addition to surprising each other, they couldn’t wait to surprise their guests with a special appearance from Sir Purr of the Carolina Panthers! With a Panther themed day they could hardly do it without him. He was so excited to bring them lots of gifts and dance with all the guests and give his signature hugs and belly shakes.
