Ebony & Derek

Last week we got to shoot Ebony & Derek's wedding. We first met with them over a year ago and the big day finally came! The wedding had been organized to perfection by Barbara Clarke owner of An Elegant Affair. Ebony and her maids of honor got ready at the Sheraton RTP. There was quite a gathering in the hotel suite, but we managed to get some great shots of the woman of the hour!

The ceremony took place at Union Baptist in Durham and it was extremely well attended. After the service the couple ran to their car amidst a shower of bubbles! It was a very lucky escape as there was a storm of Tropical proportions during the ceremony itself, but luckily everyone was in the church at that time.

After the traditional family portrait shoot we then proceeded to my favorite part of the day, photographing some fun shots with the couple and their bridal party. Most of these shots took place at the reception venue, The Hilton RTP.

The Room layout at the Hilton was perfect and the supplemental lighting by Rick Brida really gave the room that Wow! factor. As always Mel Day (Dogwood Tree) did an awesome job with the floral arrangements this wedding is going to look great in Janet Blood's (Event Coordinator at the Hilton) portfolio.

After Dinner the party really took off as Greg Ramsey from the Bunn DJ Company really got the party rocking. we had a short interlude for speeches and to cut the beautiful cake provided by Donna from Sweet Memories. After that it was everyone back on the dance floor to finish off what was a great day!
