Stephanie and Chris’ wedding took me back to my alma mater, UNC Chapel Hill. I have so many great memories from my time in college and am always so happy to return to campus, especially for an event as wonderful as a friend’s wedding! Stephanie and Chris are two of the most interesting people. Chris is a pilot and is building his own 2 seater airplane! Pretty amazing, right?! Listen to this amazing coincidence that made Stephanie and Chris’ wedding extra special: The church in which the ceremony took place was also the church Stephanie attended while in undergrad (and where she also participated heavily with the Presbyterian Campus Ministry as Co-President). The presiding pastor for the ceremony was the head pastor while Stephanie was in school, and believe it or not he was also a student in seminary of Chris’ late grandfather! The pastor is also originally from Clearwater, FL, where Stephanie and Chris now reside. Stephanie and Chris met at the wedding of mutual friends, who were a part of their wedding party. It was clear that Stephanie and Chris have a wonderful community of friends and family, and I had a blast documenting the magic of their wedding day. I am always struck by the positive energy created when you have all of the people you love in one place. It’s my favorite thing about weddings. I felt so lucky to document Stephanie and Chris’ big day! Thanks a million to Scott Muthersbaugh for doing an awesome job 2nd shooting!
