Sonia and Ammin… An awesome couple whom I am so glad to call my friends! They welcomed me so warmly a few months back when I traveled to Charlotte for their engagement session. When I returned, I couldn’t wait to get back to Carolina and help complete this beautiful story. If you missed the post about their engagement, you can see it here… But in brief, their story is one of true love challenged by distance, but with an inevitable happy ending. They are such a rare and special couple, and their wedding was sure to be the same.

Family and friends pored in from all over the country and gathered at Whitehead Manor for this traditional Persian wedding. Although rain trickled down all day, no one’s spirits were dampened. Rather, an atmosphere of excitement, romance, joy and relief clearly prevailed.

These photos are just a slither of the atmosphere I managed to capture on the day… I hope you enjoy them.
