You have seen and read about the bridal portraits ... now here is the real deal ...
Stefanie and Tradd were married at Christ Episcopal Church in Mount Pleasant on Saturday, July 10th, 2010. Yes, it was a little warm, but it turned out to be a beautiful day.
I fell in love with Stefanie right from the start. She is super organized and on the ball but also really fun, sweet, smart, and beautiful - the kind of girl you should love to hate but you can't because she is that nice.
Stefanie and Tradd have been together since they were two years old. Okay, not two, but you get the idea. They have been together for what might as well be their whole lives and it only takes seeing them together for a hot minute to know why they have lasted and will continue to last.
Stefanie, like me, grew up in Snee Farm ( a Mount Pleasant neighborhood ) and her Dad is a big golfer like all the men in my family. My brother, Michael, actually set this one up for me. Thanks Michael! Stefanie handled most of the planning herself - only using me for opinions and vendor referrals and then letting me take over the week before her wedding. Stefanie was so organized and on the ball throughout the planning process that taking over ten days out was a piece of cake.
Speaking of cake, Stefanie had a beautiful red velvet flavored wedding cake that was done by Michelle at Peacock Feather Cakes. Before enjoying the cake, the guests enjoyed fun hors d'oeurves such as oyster shooters, mini fried green tomatoes, crab cakes, and much more. After the cake, the very smart staff at Cru Catering passed mini grilled cheese sandwiches out to the guests. Nobody left this event on an empty stomach.
Cru Catering also took care of the bar which stayed busy all night. Michael and the guys at Permanent Vacation kept the dance floor of Hibernian Hall packed all night long. And yes, they did play "Mrs. Robinson." Hart to Heart Video captured the day on video while the awesome Liz Duren took care of the photography. A big thanks to Liz for sharing the pictures.
Out of Hand and OOH Events took care of the rentals, floral, and decor making Hibernian Hall even more beautiful than normal. My favorite part of the decor was that all of the centerpieces for the guest dining tables were placed in white milk glass - just gorgeous.
We can't forget about Kristi of Velvet Salon and Leslie of Moore Makeup for helping to make these naturally beautiful girls stunning ALL night long despite the heat and rain.
Kristen and I really enjoyed being a part of Stefanie and Tradd's special day. The families, the friends, the wedding party - everyone was so much fun to be around. We hope to keep in touch with Mr. and Mrs. Robinson and their families for years to come.
