Jessica and Chad had an absolutely breathtaking Mint Museum wedding in Charlotte this past August! They looked so happy and beautiful that day and I'm excited to share these images with you!

A little bit about the lovely couple... these two met through friends and family, and had an instant connection. It was Christmas-time when Chad decided to propose to Jessica and what an adorable proposal it was! Just before heading to their annual Christmas party, he tricked her into changing into a cute little black dress, and while she searched for the perfect accessories, he surprised her with a brand new one - a stunning diamond ring! Then he looked deep into her eyes and said.... "Do you think this will match?" A funny and simple proposal that totally matches this fun-loving couple!

They were married on August 24th, at a private ceremony in Charlotte. Then it was party time at their amazing reception at the Mint Museum! Here are MY favorite images from their beautiful day...

Many thanks to Stephen Thrift for second shooting!
