Welcome to the SJP blog

Beth & Beck were married on a sunny, 90 degree spring day here in NC.  They said their vows at the breathtaking new wedding venue in Chapel Hill, the Parlour.    Their ceremony was held in the gorgeous, restored chapel (the Fixer Upper of wedding venues btw), then they gathered outdoors in the garden, surrounded by lush greenery and shade,  for their amazing BBQ dinner.  C&D Events put the breathtaking finishing touches on the day with navy & peach color schemes, vintage greenery and farmhouse style decor.  It was the perfect location for wedding photography and couldn’t have been a more perfect wedding venue for these two!

Beck & Beth met in a way near & dear to my heart…good old Match.com.  Match.com brought my husband and I together, along with almost every other couple I know 🙂 Including my little brother (even though he needed some convincing from me, he is marrying the love of his life in a few months, you can see the love exuding in their engagement photos)  So, I will sing Match.com praises to anyone who asks.  Who would have thought that so many truly genuine relationships could come from online dating??? And that is definitely the first word that comes to mind in describing Beck & Beth.

When I first met them, I knew they were kindred spirit clients.  You know when you meet people for the first time, and somehow you just jive…that was these two. Not only do we have the match connection and are fellow dog lovers (who made an appearance in their engagement photos, btw)  but these two radiated sincerity. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I love it when I find others who are the same 🙂  Their love for each other, and their family was just so genuine on their wedding day.  It was obvious that their wedding was all about marrying their true love and celebrating with close family & friends, the true meaning of a wedding.  Their day was full of love, snuggles, happy tears, laughs, good food and genuine celebration…. as evidenced by their giant group dance hug to “Friends in Low Places” to top of the night!  What more could you ask for on your wedding day?

Beck & Beth!  You two were such a joy to work with! Your love is so real, and that exudes from your presence together.  Kyle and I loved being a part of your day! A lifetime of happiness together to you both!
