Prepare yourself, because Part 2 of Jamie and Brandon‘s wedding is going to blow your vintage lovin’ mind. Jamie and Brandon are both true lovers of heirloom and handmade pieces and it really reflected in their day.  From Jamie’s fabulous bouffant-esque updo to their 150 year old ceremony location, to the cross stitch Mr. and Mrs. signs, and also Jamie’s grandmother’s salt and pepper shakers turned cake toppers; Every detail was just SO Jamie and Brandon.

Jamie has the most amazing, infectious laugh.  I knew the moment I heard that laugh and met Jamie’s  fiancé (now husband!!), Brandon, that this was going to be one awesome day. Perry Vaile Photography truly captured every sweet moment.  I love that every time I see her images of Jamie and Brandon, it immediately takes me back to their day in the most perfect way. We planned an intimate, traditional ceremony at the beautiful St. Phillips Moravian Church at Old Salem in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.  It was very important to Jamie and Brandon that the focus of their ceremony be on their marriage and their relationship with God. Enjoy and stay tuned for part two tomorrow!! (P.S. These two love birds were featured on Wedding Chicks.. see it here!!)

I am so excited to finally share a bit of this gorgeous wedding with yall.  Wedding Chicks was so kind to share Jamie and Brandon’s Old Salem wedding and Brookstown Inn reception on their blog yesterday.  Jump on over and see it now!

A little rain couldn’t keep these two and their families from having an amazing day.  The LPW team and I swooped in and moved Abigail and John’s beautiful outdoor garden reception indoors.  The result was an intimate, candlelit, and FUN.  I loved that every decision came back to their guests’ experience being their number priority.  They had amazing food, good tunes, and one busy photo booth.  Cade Bowman expertly captured every moment and detail. Leave A+J some love and well wishes!!

I just love a first look. Especially one as sweet as this.  The shot of all the bridesmaids sneaking a peek is one of my favorites from the day.

Do you not just swoooooooooooon for these bright flowers?  While I love blush pink and soft white, a gal needs some bold colors every once in a while.

Another favorite shot from the day.  Abby and her sisters are very close.  It was so sweet to see them sneak one last peek at their sis before walking down the aisle.
