Nicole and Justin

Nicole and Justin | Charlotte Wedding Photographer | Ballantyne Hotel

Let’s just say that Nicole and Justin know how to throw a party. As in party with a capital P. Their Ballantyne wedding was nothing short of spectacular despite the fact that a last minute thunderstorm moved the wedding indoors. Once again the incredible team at the Ballantyne worked their magic to quickly adapt to Mother Nature’s change of plans, and the wedding looked every bit as wonderful. We were even treated to a double rainbow, (which is impossible to mention without thinking of the YouTube video) just as Nicole was about to walk into the ceremony. One of the upsides to a little liquid sunshine is the gorgeous sunsets that often follow and this wedding was no exception, the portrait photos of Nicole and Justin on the lawn of the 18th hole were simply wonderful. We loved Stephanie’s custom luggage tags which were part of her place settings and her travel-themed touches were virtually everywhere you looked.  The stunning white-on-white wedding cake was perfection and an elegant contrast to the rich purples and blues throughout the room. Justin and Nicole treated the gentlemen (and one lady) to a cigar bar on the terrace and it provided a dramatically cool photo opp for the stogie lovers in the crowd. The sparkler send-off at the end of the night was the perfect end to a perfect day. Our very best wishes to Nicole and Justin for a lifetime of happiness.
