You'll enjoy this lovely fall wedding in one of the most unique and beautiful ceremony locations I've seen yet: the Forest Theatre on the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill. It is a stone amphitheater built into the side of hill, and drama was first performed there in 1916, with construction completed in 1940 by the Works Progress Administration. The day's logistics were beautifully handled by Nancy Congleton, with whom I've had the pleasure of working several times.

Kerry and Joe live in New York now, but are both UNC alums, and the weekend was a great reunion for all of their many friends. The party was at the Carolina Inn, so the bridal party walked through campus to the reception, stopping traffic and creating a striking image against the fall colors.

Kerry reading the note Joe wrote to her that morning; her favorite boots.

Kerry's room at the Carolina Inn was perfect backdrop for her gorgeous Melissa Sweet gown.

The bridesmaids' initals embroidered into Kerry's garter -- a wonderful touch:

Once a multi-tasker, always a multi-tasker -- even on her wedding day...

What a gorgeous bridal party -- love the two-toned dresses.
**A special shout-out to the lovely Whitney W. (far right), who just celebrated her first anniversary, and who introduced me to Kerry and Joe. Thank you, Whitney!**

Joe wiping away tears:

Notice how nonchalant Joe is as he is smashing cake into Kerry's face:

All is forgiven:

Kerry dancing with both her parents -- love this:

Congrats!!!!

Here's an interesting story: Aubree and Ali met at college, where he was a star soccer player and she was a star student. He is Muslim, she was raised Catholic. He went on to play pro soccer and she became a talent agent in L.A. Last month they were married here in North Carolina, where she grew up and where they met and fell in love. Friends and family flew in from all over the world (take a look at the wonderful “Six Degrees of Aubree and Ali” diagram that they made for their guests which you can see in Matthew's post).

On Saturday they were married on the campus of Guilford College in a traditional Christian ceremony, which Matthew got to photograph (I was busily shooting Morgan's beautiful wedding across town), but on Friday night Aubree and Ali had a traditional Muslim ceremony, which I was privileged enough to be able to witness:

Shoe are not allowed in the main prayer area of a mosque, and so are stored neatly in the hallway:

The about-to-be-weds just before they got to see each other:

Aubree put so much thought into everything, including having the hijabs custom-made for her bridesmaids.

I love this sweet moment between Ali and his mother as she is congratulating her son:

Thank you both for allowing us to be part of your wonderful weekend!!!

Morgan and Brad got married a few weeks ago, and the wedding was joyful and BIG -- they have lots of friends and family! They got married in her home church and the party was at The Empire Room in downtown Greensboro:

Their were lots of children in the ceremony, including Morgan's niece Kennedy, at right:

Sometimes being a flower girl can be very stressful...

Sweet moment between Morgan and her dad just before they go down the aisle together:

Just married!

Father/daughter dance:

The Reality Show Band was so much fun -- they set the tone for the entire evening, and the dance floor was always crowded. Morgan got up on stage to strut her stuff:
