Hannah & Dustin's Wedding - {Marriage}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Wed, 20 Nov 2019 02:37:07 GMT

November 9th, 2019, Hannah & Dustin were married at Rolling Hills Farms in Monroe, North Carolina. Fall is such a beautiful time of year for a wedding and these two had a beautiful venue to match the season. Rolling Hills is surrounded by rustic touches with their heavy wood beams, stone porches and wooden walls. Even as cool as the day ended up being, I love the golden warmth in these images from their special day. This past week though, but I'm sure these two enjoyed the warmth by the blue waters honeymooning in Punta Cana! Hannah & Dustin, thank you for letting me be a part of your day...I wish you both many happy years together!

Hannah & Dustin chose to have a "first look" with each other prior to the ceremony. Oh my goodness, THIS is why I highly recommend stepping outside of the traditional "meet you on the isle" first look. Look at these priceless images, so pretty as Dustin saw her for the first time!

Lane & Shelby's Wedding

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Fri, 07 Jun 2019 14:18:09 GMT

Sunday, June 2nd, 2019, Lane and Shelby were married at Meadow Creek Farms in Locust, North Carolina. It was a beautiful sunny and hot Sunday afternoon. The grounds at Meadow Creek is such a pretty setting for a wedding. Here is a recap of their day. Want to give a big “Thank you” to Alicia Damron for all her help in second shooting for me!

How cute is this of Lane with his new "little" bro-in-law and his own little brother?! DSC_2861 DSC_2823 DSC_2834

Love this next candid moment of Lane and his mom. No, it's not the best angle, not a great view of faces but just a quick minute with mother and her son that sealed the moment in time.

Thought this was sweet. At this venue, the pathway to the ceremony site is pretty long. Shelby has four brothers. Each brother walked her a quarter of the way down the path and would hand her off to the other brother, until she reached her dad. This shot was just before her dad walked her down the isle.

Maleah & Hayden's Wedding!

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Sat, 23 Feb 2019 16:50:11 GMT

Sunday, February 17th, 2019, Maleah & Hayden were married at Rolling Hills in Monroe, NC. And if you've live in North Carolina, you know the weather has been a bit soggy for the last 7-10 days. It's rained for several days straight now including the day these two were married. But I'll say it again, rainy wedding can make for some of the most beautiful pictures when the lighting captures the rain just right. It almost looks as if crystals are falling all around the new Mr. & Mrs. So, if you're planning a wedding and wet weather is in the forecast, don't worry...You'll end up with beautiful pictures! Come along with me as recap Maleah & Hayden's wedding day with a few of my favorite pictures.

Taryn & Wriston's {Wedding}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 12:30:51 GMT

Saturday, September 22, 2018, Taryn & Wriston were married and Meadow Creek Farms in Locust, North Carolina. The beautiful black fence with cascading trees that mirrored one another on each side, welcomed us as we drove down the drive to the venue. When we arrived, the bridal suite was buzzing with wedding day excitement. The colors of the season were evident in Taryn's choice of details for their wedding. In fact, she told me she wanted the pictures to have a warm, fall feel to them and in the tips of some of the trees, you could tell it was early fall. With the golden hour sunlight, I think the warmth was able to be achieved. It was made for the perfect backdrop for this pretty wedding. Here's a glance of their wedding day, enjoy!

This wring was Taryn's "something old". It was her grandmother's wedding band. The pictures make this ring look larger than it was. I used my macro lens to show up the engraving on the inside because I couldn't see it with my eyes. The engraving are the initials of her grandfather and grandmother. DSC_3022 DSC_3019

Littles in the bridals sweet! DSC_3121 DSC_3125

Jasmine & Jacob's {Wedding}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 15:18:58 GMT

These two have already had a bit of a test in their relationship as they are starting out their new life together. Jasmine & Jacob's wedding was originally planned for August 26th but, the week prior to their wedding, Jacob had an accident on the job while he was working and actually shot a nail into his eye. I cringe at even the thought of it! His accident resulted in a couple of surgeries that same week and strict orders for rest to insure proper healing. So, after discussing this with his doctor and their families, they decided to postpone the wedding until the 16th. But, these two weren't in the clear yet. As the days leading up to this date approached, so the did a big storm out in the Atlantic...Hurricane Florence! Wouldn't you know, hurricane Florence was scheduled to hit our area of North Caroline on Sunday, September 16th...Jasmine & Jacob's wedding day! There was no way to hold an outdoor ceremony in the wind and rain so with this being said, they decided to have a fraction of their friends and family and move the wedding date up to Thursday evening, September 13th, 2018! But what seemed to be a bit of a whirlwind (in more ways than one), ended up being an absolutely beautiful (and windy) evening with their closest friends and family. Jasmine and Jacob were married between two, beautiful streams on the patio at the home where she grew up. Come along with me as the pictures from their wedding day tell their story. DSC_0095 DSC_0097 DSC_0100

Without an arial view, it's hard to see so I'll try to explain. On either side of this patio, there are two beautiful streams where the water flows over the river rocks. These two streams meet together and become one as it flows into the pond that you see in the distance. When I first met with Jasmine, she told me that her dad said it reminded him of how when husband and wife are married, they become one. Genesis 2:24 "Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."

Savannah & Hayden's {Wedding}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Sat, 15 Sep 2018 17:02:46 GMT

Sunday, September 9th, 2018, Savannah & Hayden were married at the home where she grew up. In their backyard was the most beautiful setting for this couple to unite in marriage. The cross has become a favorite of mine for couples to use at the alter. To me it's the perfect reminder to keep Christ at the center of their union together as husband and wife. After much work from their families, their outdoor ceremony was simply gorgeous! In fact, some of the wooden pews were made from the trees that came from her in-law's property. Come join me for a walk through their wedding day.

Lainey & Luke's Wedding!

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Mon, 02 Jul 2018 16:11:45 GMT

Saturday, June 23rd, 2018, Lainey & Luke were married at a Central UMC in Concord, NC. There is something special about a church weddings and this one was certainly didn't disappoint. Everything about their day was gorgeous, the chapel, the flowers, the music, the colors, but most importantly, their kindness! I met Lainey & Luke several months ago and new right from the start, this couple were going to be great to work with and they were! Wedding days are fast paced and there are many distractions, interruptions and events that can alter the aspect of photography during the day. But Lainey and Luke went right with the flow and trusted whatever the day held...these two are genuine people! Their love for one another was apparent many times throughout their day, it was evident they truly enjoy each other. I was thrilled to celebrate with them and their first day as husband and wife! Here's a glimpse of their wedding in pictures.

****Note: we captured many more images than what my hosting site allows to be posted, this is just a brief example of their photography****

This might have been my favorite moment from their wedding day. Lainey and Luke wanted some quiet time for a prayer between just the two of them prior to the ceremony. They didn't want to see each other either until ceremony time so we had them stand here in this stairway with their backs against the wall. It was truly a sweet, raw and real moment. They both were overcome with emotion.

Oliva & Nick are Married {Wedding}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Fri, 25 May 2018 12:51:18 GMT

With planning an outdoor venue for their wedding, Olivia & Nick and their families had been watching the weather forecast for several days prior to their wedding date. So the weekend prior, I got a call from Olivia's mom that said "what if...." you guessed it, a back up plan. Truly, with North Carolina weather this time of year, it's not uncommon to have a pop up thunderstorm in the afternoons. But as the week approached, the chance of rain looked inevitable, so the shots were called and the date and venue changed to the following Sunday. Rolling Hill Farms in Monroe, North Carolina, was the setting for this beautiful wedding. Even with the last minute change of events, it didn't dampen their spirits. When I arrived, the bridal suite was buzzing with excitement for this couple! You could feel the excited energy for this bride and groom. Debbie, Olivia's mom, had done and amazing job decorating the venue. So much thought, preparation and hard work had been poured into every inch of this venue. The tables were exquisitely adorned, beautiful china, fresh greenery and shades of pink touches. My favorites were the perfectly pink peonies spilling out of the drawers of antique furniture that was randomly placed throughout the venue. Simply gorgeous!

(NOTE: This is only a preview of images. My hosting site has a limit as to how many images can be included with each post. There were many more of family members, guest, events & decor that I wanted to share in this preview but there's just simply not enough room.)

Jacob & Kristen's Wedding

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Fri, 04 May 2018 19:10:41 GMT

Kristen & Jacob had a beautiful wedding, an outdoor ceremony at the home of where Jacob grew up. Saturday, April 28th, 2017 these two were married by the cross on his parent's front lawn. To me, it's the perfect setting for the beginning of a marriage...the cross, an anchor and a stable foundation to keep this couple grounded through both the good (and bad) times that they will face in the years ahead. The weather was sunny and 79 degrees, exactly the type of weather that makes you love the Carolinas this time of year. Looking back through my pictures, there are so many favorites. Here's their first day as husband and wife!

Oh my, there is a story that goes along with this shot. But, we'll save that for another day, all that matters is that horse in the background made for a pretty backdrop.

Ellis & Autumn's Wedding

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 12:25:16 GMT

When I arrived at Rolling Hill Farms, I was greeted with all smiles as I walked into the bridal suite the day Autumn and Ellis were married. There was such a happy energy that filled the venue for these two and you could feel it amongst their friends and family. It was a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon on March 11th, 2018 but that didn't dampen their spirits in the least. These two were getting married and starting their lives together! Below, I'll let my view explain a little more about their day!

Summer & Paul's {WEDDING}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Thu, 25 Jan 2018 01:14:47 GMT

If you've lived here any length of time, you know that North Carolina's weather can be a bit unpredictable. Although January is usually one of our colder months, Sunday, January 21st, 2018, proved otherwise. Even though there were patches of snow left on the ground from a snow storm earlier in the week, the day of Paul & Summer's wedding couldn't have been anymore pleasant. The low 60's was the setting for their winter wedding at Rolling Hill Farms in Monroe, North Carolina. When I arrived, the wedding activities were underway and the bridal suite was filled with her friends and family. You could feel the exciting energy upon entering even with Summer's calm demeanor. Keep scrolling to see how their day unfolded.

DSC_8186

Although it was 60 degrees outside, I like for my pictures to tell a story. In 30 years from now, when they tell their kids about their wedding day, I'm sure they'll remember the snow that was on the ground leftover from a snow storm just a couple of days before their wedding. DSC_8181 - Copy

Brooke and Hunter's Wedding @ Rolling Hill Farms, Monroe, NC

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Wed, 14 Jun 2017 19:35:11 GMT

Sunday, June 11th, 2017, Brooke & Hunter were married at Rolling Hill Farms in Monroe, North Carolina. It was a beautiful, warm, June Sunday afternoon when these two began this journey as one. Here are some of their pictures that help tell the story of their new beginning as the "Mr. & Mrs.".

DSC_6007

Love this beautiful art work her cousin painted as a keepsake for them. As guest arrived, they stamped their thumbprint in green and added the "leaves" with their names on the tree. By the end of the night, the tree was "full and lush". DSC_6054 DSC_6057 DSC_7193

All her details... DSC_6030 DSC_6035

The train of her dress was beautiful. Needless to say, it was the inspiration for several of her shots.

Frankie & Sonya's Wedding ~ {Marriage}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Sun, 11 Jun 2017 00:15:22 GMT

Saturday, June 3, 2017, Frankie and Sonya were married in front yard of her brother's home. When I arrived, a half moon circle of white chairs were waiting to be filled on the front lawn. It wasn't long until a steady stream of family and friends started arriving to not only fill those chairs but also help with any task in order to make their day special. Everybody chipped in on what made for a beautiful wedding day!

Here are the pictures to help tell the story...

Jamie & Tristan's Wedding!

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Sat, 03 Jun 2017 14:18:20 GMT

Red Barn Events in Waxhaw, North Carolina is the place where Jamie & Tristan would hold their wedding and start their new life as husband and wife. It was a warm, beautiful May day when we arrived at the venue. The long ride down their driveway was tree lined, then opened up to beautiful horse pastures and large limbed shade trees! A beautiful wooden cross was at the "alter" and wooden church pews were waiting to be filled by all of their guest. Tristan and his guys were tossing the football out in the backyard and inside, Jamie and her girls were busy getting ready. I could go on but now will let the pictures tell their story...Enjoy!

Alex & Shyann Are Married - {Wedding}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Sat, 29 Apr 2017 18:15:04 GMT

Sunday, August 24th, 2017, Alex and Shyann were married at The Tillery Tradition Country Club in Mt. Gilead, North Carolina. Leading up to the wedding, we had watched the weather all week, and as their wedding day approached, a band of thunderstorms rolled in the day prior. When I arrived at their venue, the skies were threatening and the rain was starting to slowly fall. So what had been planned as an outdoor ceremony out on the lawn, was moved to the covered patio. But that didn't hamper the seats from being filled...Many of their friends and family came to celebrate the beginning of their new life together. Here are their pictures as the day unfolded.

My blog post alerted me that I had way too many images to post so I wasn't able to post the whole bridal party coming down the isle. But, I wanted to share these of the ring bearer and flower girl. This little fella was walking down the isle until he saw me, then stopped. From what I hear, daddy was next the the groom bribing him with a pack of Smarties to continue walking.

Haley & Trevor Are Married! {Wedding}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Sun, 13 Nov 2016 12:58:30 GMT

Saturday, November 5th, 2016, Haley and Trevor were married at the familiar place of her grandparents home. It was a sunny, back yard, intimate wedding with just their closest family members with the reception following. It was evident these two had plenty of love from their families as they started their news lives together. They both come from such kind and genuine and families...It was a sweet day! Here is a recap of their wedding.

Love, love, love this piece of art below. This wedding keepsake tree was drawn by Haley's sister-in-law, Julie. The frame was made from barn wood from their soon-to-be home which is an old barn they are renovating and will soon call their home! The frame it's self, was built by Trevor's cousin. How special is that?!

Paige & Robbie Become One! - {Wedding}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Fri, 16 Sep 2016 11:42:45 GMT

Saturday, September 10th, 2016, Paige and Robbie were married at Treehouse Vineyards in Monroe, North Carolina. It was a warm, sunny September day with lots of family and friends to celebrate the beginning of their new life together. Here are some of my favorites from their day...Enjoy!

That dress! Her dress was so stunning...Gorgeous!

DSC_3646 DSC_3709 DSC_3512 DSC_3784

Her mom brought in this sweet bracelet. It was Paige's bracelet from when she was a baby and guess what? It still fits so guess what she wore on her wedding day? Yep, this string of pearls. DSC_3781 DSC_3787 DSC_3793 LCH_1417

Friends with their own camera!

DSC_3780 DSC_3776 DSC_3533 DSC_3542 DSC_3666 DSC_3549 DSC_3615 DSC_3617 DSC_3626

I thought this was so sweet. Joy, Paige's mother-in-law, brought in this "Be happy" pin for Paige to carry. It was a gift from Joy's father from when she was young. So she let her pin in to Paige's bouquet to keep him a part of his grandson's wedding!

Alexis and Kelton's Wedding {Marriage}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Thu, 11 Aug 2016 15:11:38 GMT

The first shot I took when I arrived on Alexis & Kelton's wedding day was a familiar place to Alexis. This venue is the place she knew as "home". In fact, she was actually born in this house and would later become the big sister to four more girls. I love home weddings, there is something special about getting married at the house you grew up in. Many memories were held within the walls of the house that built her. One of the shots that you'll see in this post, was when Alexis's mom was helping her slip on her dress. Kimberly (her mom), was tying the sash on the back of her wedding dress. Like a lot of parents, as we get older, time seems to pass lightning fast and I couldn't help but think about how she must've felt, I imagine she felt it hadn't been that long ago since she tied this same little girl's sash before Sunday church. Now, on this day, she's tying the sash on her daughter's wedding gown as she embarks on a new life with her soon-to-be husband. All those years of raising their daughter and now, she will marry at the home that has molded her into the woman that she is today. I imagine many times throughout her life, she will withdraw memories from the house that built her and they will continue to guide her even as an adult.

The day of their wedding, we had a tremendous amount of rain. Thankfully, there were breaks and they were able to continue with their outdoor ceremony. Here is a recap of their day.

DSC_0449 DSC_0511 DSC_0521 DSC_0522 DSC_0566

We had a few minutes before the ceremony and I was capturing a few shots of Alexis with her sisters. In this next shot of Alexis with her youngest sister, Aniston, was one of my favorites. I don't know, maybe Aniston was just not "feeling" pictures at the time but I was trying to get her to smile for the shot. In an attempt to get her to smile and knowing how little girls think boys are gross, I asked "do you think Alexis and Kelton are going to kiss?" to which she replied with no laugh but a big ol' eye roll instead! They whole room cracked up! Me - 0, Aniston - 1...Photographer fail but I still love the eye roll, it was just too funny!

Here, somehow we caught a happy face! DSC_0585 DSC_0594 DSC_0590 DSC_0588

Erika & Matt's Wedding - St. Mary's Chapel - Charlotte, NC

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Thu, 02 Jun 2016 22:57:27 GMT

When I arrived at the home where she grew up, the wedding day energy was most certainly present. Aunts and cousins were steadily helping to prepare a special day for these two, Erika & Matt. The venue for her ceremony was held at St. Mary's Chapel in Charlotte, North Carolina and the reception followed at an even more special place...Home! It was a beautiful setting with a perfect amount of southern flare from her beautifully adorned tables with fresh flowers to the delicious menu for dinner. Here are some of my favorite images through out their day. Must warn you though, I'll probably over post the flower pictures...They.Were.Gorgeous!

DSC_8188 DSC_8030 DSC_8036 DSC_8105

This ring shot was one that Erika requested. Add a little bokeh and it turns out to be quite magical!

Peonies...so lovely!

Matt had written a letter for Erika to read prior to their wedding, here she was taking a few minutes to read this love letter.

The necklace she wore, was made from her grandmother's diamond ring.

Her something old was this beautiful brooch from her Grandmother Bonce. In fact, all of her attendants had one of her brooches on their bouquets. Wanted to picture them but was over my limit that my hosting site allows for me to post. DSC_7879 In DSC_7953 DSC_7959 DSC_8067

Her dad gave her this sweet letter, talk about tear jerker... DSC_7864

Matt had given her a gift to open...the gift, a pair of diamond stud earrings!!!

Erika & her dad have a very close relationship. She opted for a first look with him. Until this day, he had not even seen a picture of her dress until she came out to meet him... DSC_8390 DSC_8394 DSC_8389 DSC_8396 DSC_8397 DSC_8398 DSC_8399 DSC_8402 DSC_8404 DSC_8427

Landon & Amanda Are Married ~ {WEDDING}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Tue, 24 May 2016 23:12:31 GMT

Sunday, May 22nd, 2016, Landon and Amanda were married at Rolling Hill Farms in Monroe, North Carolina. It was a beautiful, Carolina day for this couple to start their new lives together as one. They were married by Landon's grandfather and the ceremony followed by friends and family joining in the celebration of their union. Here is a recap of their wedding festivities...

DSC_5159 DSC_5156

Somebody didn't give her the memo that the bride is the only one who wears white on the wedding day! ;) DSC_6054 DSC_5161 DSC_5069 DSC_5176 DSC_5147 DSC_5117

Bling! Bling! Bling! DSC_5138 DSC_5143

Love some pretty bokeh to be thrown in a few shots!

Landon has arrived and is looking mighty sharp! DSC_5376

Here he is opening a gift from Amanda

DSC_5343 DSC_5356 DSC_5377 DSC_5378

Love this shot. It reminded that Tim, Landon's dad, had just told me that it was just a few days shy of being 23 years since they brought him home from the hospital.

Here comes the bride... DSC_5587 DSC_5596 DSC_5599

Love, love love this shot! DSC_5602 DSC_5603 DSC_5606 DSC_5615

Marriage is so sacred and I always love to not only shoot the ceremony but to hear what is said. Landon's grandfather read the most humbling words, "Christ is to be the head of the home, the unseen guest at every meal, the silent listener in every conversation..." That has stuck with me since I heard it and I know that can be the most helpful piece of advise that could be given to a newly married couple. In fact, it's a great reminder for marriages of all ages.

DSC_5629 DSC_5620 DSC_5656 DSC_5668 DSC_5672

Married! DSC_5673

Here are some of my favorites of their pictures together! DSC_5974 DSC_5871 DSC_5911 DSC_8598 DSC_5970 DSC_8859 DSC_5962 DSC_5379 DSC_5377 DSC_8687 DSC_8698 DSC_8697

I had to post this out take. It was sunny almost the entire time during their pictures but at one point, there was this tiny little dark cloud that passed by. It started raining and the old trusty reflector worked double duty that day...a make shift shelter! Know my fellow photogs will appreciate this next picture. DSC_6042

This next shot might be one of my favorites. These aren't Landon's groomsmen, they are his bothers...all 8 of them! DSC_5392 DSC_6426 DSC_6428 DSC_5822 DSC_5866

Trent & Heather Become One {WEDDING}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Sun, 22 May 2016 01:26:31 GMT

I knew months ago when Heather first discussed some of her wedding details with me, this wedding would be special for many reasons. May 14th, 2016 on the hillside of this Marshville, North Carolina farm, Heather & Trent were married at their family friend's home. It was a southern, Christ centered ceremony that took place before their family and friends. Here's a recap of their first day as husband and wife. Enjoy! DSC_3594 DSC_3683

Love how the vantage lace from the curtains is almost an ombre' into her wedding dress...

DSC_3690

This necklace was a Christmas gift from Trent this past year... DSC_3560

The most valuable attribute is a beautiful heart. More on this sweet detail below... DSC_3664 DSC_3562 DSC_3556 DSC_3553 DSC_3567 DSC_3569

Time to get ready... DSC_3658 DSC_3645 DSC_3628 DSC_3735 DSC_3722 DSC_3719 DSC_3772

Wedding dress details... DSC_3765 DSC_3783 DSC_3790

Love her mom's reaction to seeing her daughter getting in her dress...

DSC_3804 DSC_3801 DSC_3820

Oh, how I LOVE this shot! DSC_3892

Meanwhile, my second shooter with Mallory McCall Photography, was working with Trent while he was preparing to meet his bride...

IMG_1054 IMG_1058 IMG_1077 IMG_1103

Love this shot that she got of Heather's brother helping her dad get ready. IMG_1075 IMG_1427

The Handsome groom, awesome shot by Mallory McCall!

IMG_1390

IMG_1167

This was one of the details that I remember Heather talking to me about months ago. She had a surprise for her grandfather during their "First look"...

DSC_3926 DSC_3932 DSC_3934

Inside of her dress, she had a piece of her grandmother's shirt in the shape of a heart, sewn into the lining as her something old. And what a special "something old" it was. She also had the same heart sewn on a hankerchief as a gift from her to her grandfather. DSC_3664 DSC_4603 DSC_3951 DSC_3968 DSC_3970

Heather, you were a stunning bride! DSC_3861 DSC_3851

With her dad, just before walking down the isle...

DSC_3997

Guest have arrived! DSC_4037 DSC_4059 DSC_4032

This is why a second shooter is so important. Here, Mallory was able to focus on Heather and I was.... IMG_1823 IMG_1845 IMG_1855 IMG_1861 DSC_4458

...I was able to focus on Trent. He had his back turned to her until she arrived on the carriage. Here is a play by play as he saw her for the first time... DSC_4171 DSC_4172 DSC_4174

Look at his dad, looking at his son! DSC_4184 DSC_4191 IMG_1865 IMG_1868 DSC_4197 DSC_4220 DSC_4225

Heather & Trent wanted to put Christ at the center of their marriage, right from the beginning. So, part of their ceremony included taking communion together... DSC_4452 DSC_4454 DSC_4451

Again, these next two are from both of us photographers. First up, my view... DSC_4245

And second shot is Mallory's view... IMG_1895 IMG_1939

Another really special part of their wedding was that both Trent & Heather each one washed one another's feet to demonstrate the humility of the heart and character by kneeling before their new spouse.

Outtakes are the best sometimes, even if they are imperfect! DSC_4668

Wow, you two look amazing! DSC_4704 DSC_4724

I know, I'm repeating myself but again, this is why a second shooter is so important. It's reception time and they have just been formally introduced. Here's my capture of their reaction.... DSC_4759

And here is Mallory's capture of their reaction! I love both! IMG_3099 DSC_3573 DSC_3580 DSC_4749 DSC_4750 DSC_4751

Erin & Brock Are Married! { W E D D I N G}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Wed, 11 May 2016 23:05:47 GMT

On a beautiful, sunny day on May 7th, 2016, Erin and Brock were married on the lawn of Brock's parents home. It was a simple ceremony with their closest family and friends. The ceremony took place on the patio with an elegant reception following in the side yard. The simplicity was refreshing for this southern wedding, here are some of my favorite from their day.

Lauren & Sherwin's {W E D D I N G} at Rolling Hill Farms

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Thu, 05 May 2016 14:25:54 GMT

Friday, April 29th, Lauren & Sherwin were married at Rolling Hill Farms in Monroe, NC. They are such a fun couple, I knew from their engagement session that their wedding would be upbeat but yet relaxed with their easy-go personalities. The two of them truly just enjoyed their day with friends and family as they started their new life together as one. Here is a recap of their day...

The calm...

Lauren's grandmother DSC_0189 DSC_0177 DSC_0165 DSC_0168

Love these next few shots. When Lauren put on her dress, I assume it all started to sink in that the time was here...she's officially in her wedding dress getting ready to meet her groom at the alter. Needless to say, the moment was a bit overwhelming. This was so sweet, the groom's grandmother stepped in and just laid her hands on Lauren until her dress was on to offer a sense of stability and calming.

Thank you Lauren & Sherwin, for letting me and Linden be a part of your wedding. I wish you both many years of happiness together!

A Golden Anniversary - Ben & Pat Celebrate 50 years together!

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Mon, 18 Apr 2016 17:20:04 GMT

Last weekend I had the honor of photographing a 50th wedding anniversary celebration for this beautiful couple, Ben & Pat.

In my line of work, it's exciting to work with so many couples as they start their new lives as Mr. & Mrs. On a wedding day, my job is to capture all of their planning they've put into their wedding over past few months, in all the beautiful details. So much effort goes into making it special to insure every detail is perfect. But I feel, true perfection is learning to live with the one who stole your heart all those years ago and realizing that in fact, life isn't prefect at all. Building a marriage that last 50 years means learning to forgive all of their im"perfect"ions as Christ did for us. When the rush of new love may fade a bit due to everyday demands of raising a family, paying bills, job changes, or even the loss of dear loved ones and etc that happens over the years. As the marriage cultivates, I believe you'll cross both moments of joy and heartache over the years, the key is to stand strong together as life unfolds, whatever may come. There's no price that can be put on the security of that kind of love. Reaching the 50 year mark is quite a milestone that makes it worthy of being called the "Golden year"...Congratulations Ben & Pat!

At Ben & Pat's anniversary party, I love how they bridged the past with the present with momentos from their own wedding as you'll see though out this post. Here is a recap from their day.

Ashley & Travis Are Married! {Wedding}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Mon, 14 Mar 2016 01:25:31 GMT

Saturday, March 12th, 2016, Ashely & Travis began their new lives together as one! North Carolina, March weather can be a bit "iffy" sometimes. In years past we've been known to have snow this time of year and other years, the temps have reached into the 80's. This past Saturday, the weather was perfect, an absolutely beautifully warm day with an absolutely beautiful couple! They were married in their church with just their closet family members with reception to follow. Here is a recap of their day!

Katie & Drew's Wedding Day!

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Tue, 10 Nov 2015 01:39:41 GMT

So, this was a bit of a whirl wind wedding that was absolutely beautiful! Many times, brides will plan their wedding for months or even more than a year at times! But Katie & Drew pulled theirs off in just a few short weeks! Sunday, Nov. 1, 2015, they were married at Rolling Hills Farm in Monroe, NC. Originally she had planned an outdoor wedding but due to the incredible amount of rain we've received over the last couple of weeks, she decided at last minute to bring the ceremony indoors.

Here are some of my favorites from their day as a recap.

Brad & Jennifer's "Pink" Wedding! ~ {Marriage}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Fri, 30 Oct 2015 15:29:06 GMT

This past Saturday, Oct. 24th, 2016, Brad & Jennifer were married at Mill Creek Baptist Church in Monroe, NC. It was one of the sweetest weddings that I've been to recently for so many different reasons. One of the reasons, was these two (and Sheri, Jennifer's mom) have such welcoming personalities. Over the course an engagement, I've come to know my brides and their families pretty well...Sometimes you just click to the point that at the end of their wedding day, it's a bit bittersweet that I won't be working with them as closely; Otherwise, they feel like friends to me. On the flip side of that, as tiring as weddings are, it's awesome to be able to capture all the details that make up "their day" and to witness some of the most profound and sentimental moments of their lives! Jennifer and Brad had several moments throughout the events of this past Saturday, that made their wedding really special. I'll try to "tell the story" through out these pictures. Enjoy their beautiful wedding!

DSC_2021 DSC_2023

When I first met with Jennifer and her mom back in January, I remember being super excited when they were talking about her colors for this wedding. Of course, PINK is perfect! ;) Actually, when I see the colors of her wedding, immediately I see "Blush & Bashful" from the movie Steel Magnolias.

This Bible was part of how Brad proposed to Jennifer. To me, that takes a real man to keep God at the center of their beginning...He highlighted this well known passage in Corinthians when he asked for her hand in marriage so it just felt fitting to include it with their rings. DSC_0955 DSC_0951

Their daddy/daughter first look was one of the sweetest ever. Her dad obviously had not seen her in her dress, up until this point. We brought him out with his eyes closed and back against her. Jennifer walked toward her dad, tapped him on the shoulder and then they both cried the most humble, quiet tears. But what made this so special to me was the respect that they seem to have for one another. I remember distinctly what Jennifer said to her dad...She thanked him for all the years he had worked hard and the years he had put in at his currant place of employment. To me, that showed a daughter who understands just what her dad has done for her. DSC_0309 DSC_0316 DSC_0318 LCH_8042 DSC_0325 DSC_0341

Jennifer & Brad (and Sherry also), I want to thank you for being so wonderful to work with. You truly have been a pleasure! I wish the two of you the very happiest life together. Know you're enjoying your honeymoon in the Dominican Republic!

Danielle & Jake are Married!

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:26:48 GMT

At the Meadow Lakes clubhouse in Rock Hill, SC, Jake & Danielle committed their lives together on Saturday, October 10th, 2015. Originally, the wedding was planned for an outdoor ceremony by the lake but due to the inclement weather, the ceremony was brought indoors to the most beautiful setting! During the ceremony, guest were seated by the their tables where the reception continued after the wedding. It couldn't have been more perfect...The richness of gold and blush adorned the tables along with the soft warmth from the candlelight and ambient lighting filling the room. Someone referred to it as something you would see in a Southern Living magazine, I must agree. It was beautiful!

Mika & Eric's Wedding {Southern Class}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Thu, 01 Oct 2015 14:47:45 GMT

I know when most brides start planning their wedding day, it's just a given, they imagine blue skies and sunny. You don't think of a rainy day, however, sometimes it happens. Over the course of shooting weddings, I've learned that while yes, rain makes it a bit more challenging, it also makes for some beautiful pictures as you'll see below. This past Saturday, Mika & Eric were married in a beautiful church in Monroe, NC. This wedding had all the southern touches that reminded me of years gone by. Not a detail was untouched. To me, even the rain added a bit of character to their day. Here is their story, in pictures! Enjoy!

Elizabeth & Tyler Become One! ~ {Wedding}

(MTH Photography by Molly Davis) — Mon, 21 Sep 2015 15:06:09 GMT

The setting was at Rolling Hill Farms in Monroe, NC, for Elizabeth & Tyler's beautiful September wedding. Weddings are special days that many brides dream of their whole life...September 20th, 2015, couldn't have been a prettier day for these two to join their lives together! Long ago when these two were children, before marriage or even dating was ever thought of, this couple went to the same vocational class together...they even rode the same carpool together! Over the years, they went their separate ways but still maintained a mutual friendship, but it wasn't until 2012 that they started dating. These pictures tells us the rest is history...Meet Mr. & Mrs. McGee!
