Katie and Kyle in Raleigh, NC

I’m catching up on blogging all the beautiful summer weddings I’ve had the pleasure of photographing the past few months!! This one was a true gem. Katie and Kyle were married on June 16, 2012 in Raleigh, NC. I’ve known the bride, Katie, since our time at Daniels Middle School where we both played point guard on the basketball team! It’s always so much fun to reconnect with old friends on their wedding day and share the special time with them. Check out some of the bridal portraits of Katie’s I posted earlier this month before scrolling down to view some highlights from the wedding day.

Katie and Kyle have a really cute proposal story: As told to me by Katie herself, ” Kyle cleverly worked with my co-worker and a client to set up a day-long proposal. at 9am he started the proposal with a voicemail singing his own lyrics to the tune of ‘who wrote the book (he changed it to list) of love’ followed by a new list items on the hour: flowers, cards slipped under doors, a note hidden in my lunch, and a package left with security. The office closing early for Memorial Day and Speed Street going on downtown threw his timing off and he had to move the later part of the afternoon to our house. When I got home, he had put red arrows on the floor to walk me past the 2pm to 5pm list items: a powerpoint he was going to email me, heart-shaped dessert pizza he was going to have sent to my office, a dress Mary (maid of honor) picked out that was going to be hanging in my car when I left work, and finally an empty jewelry box. When I got to the jewelry box and still hadn’t seen him I finally said, “I’m confused”! and he came into the room all dressed up and proposed. I spent the next two hours on the phone while Kyle spent it taking a nap on the couch. Apprently proposing took it out of him!! That night I wore the dress to the Palm and we met friends to celebrate. The next morning we got up early and drove down to the beach to meet our friends and celebrated the entire weekend long!” <3

Now that you know their story, here’s some photos from the big day!:

The day started at Vonkekel Aveda Salon at North Hills in Raleigh. After getting their hair done, the ladies headed to their room at the Renaissance where they practiced their beauty-queen wave from their balcony terrace!!
