maureen + lj // wedding . high point nc

Maureen & LJ's wedding went so smoothly that we hardly even noticed the rain coming down all day. Plus, it gave us a chance to get resourceful & do all of our photographs indoors for a nice change of pace. They got married at [ Market Square ] which is a huge renovated building used primarily for High Point's furniture market & it was totally our style - really rustic with lots of brick walls & wooden floors.

Maureen was definitely one of the most glamorous brides we've had the pleasure of photographing. The old Hollywood style to her dress, hair, & accessories were fabulous! Maureen got her jewelry from [ Design Archives ] in Greensboro & her hairpiece from [ Etsy ]. To any brides planning a wedding, both are fantastic places to look for some really unique details & accessories - I would totally recommend checking them out!





[ Imagine Flowers ] did a wonderful job on the bouquets - loved the feather accents!





LJ & his attendants (& the whole wedding party, for that matter) were so fun to work with. Maureen & LJ surround themselves with a great group of people & we thoroughly enjoyed photographing everyone in attendance.


Sneaking a smoke break out the window. :)


Love these next two shots of LJ & his grandma. So sweet!



The ceremony was supposed to be held outdoors in the courtyard under the water tower, but due to the rain it had to be moved indoors. Luckily they had a great indoor space that wound up working perfectly for the ceremony.



We had a lot of fun using flash for all of the portraits of the bride & groom. Made for some really dramatic photos!




The reception was at [ Sammy G's ] restaurant in Market Square. It made for a gorgeous place for a reception! Andrew Comstock with [ K2 Productions ] was the DJ for the evening & did a fantastic job of keeping everybody getting down on the dance floor all night.


[ Mary Ann Blade ] put together the perfect cake to fit Maureen & LJ's style. Loved the flower design up the side of the cake.



Loved Maureen & LJ's expressions during the hilarious toast from Maureen's sister, Rachel (the photos are a little small, so you may want to click on the photos to view them full size).


LJ wrote the absolute sweetest song for Maureen & sang it to her as a surprise during the reception. I think everyone's heart melted just a little. :)




A little bit of rain during the exit never hurt anyone. :)



Thank you guys again for your patience & for giving us the chance to photograph your beautiful day!
