Real North Carolina Wedding - Nicole & Manuel

It's "Throwback Thursday" at the café....let's take a trip down "memory lane" with Nicole & Manuel!!

Say hello to Nicole & Manuel....when I received their beautiful wedding images, yes, I had to do my "happy dance"....they are such a beautiful couple and I love the intimacy of their wedding...so filled with love from their families and friends....Nicole & Manuel's beautiful wedding story took place on April 16th in Charlotte, NC.......their wedding was so romantic and I loved the little touches of the "retro vibe" they incorporated.

Nicole shared that she knew Manuel was "the one", early on in their relationship....she said she was totally blown away with how sweet and loving he was and it was all totally confirmed through all of their heartfelt conversations late into the wee hours of the morning...Nicole knew Manuel was the man that she had prayed for!

Capturing all the beautiful details of Nicole & Manuel's wedding story is one of my favorite photographers in the DC area, Luke Eshleman of Luke Eshleman Photography ....Luke always shares the most gorgeous images with us...I love it when he stops by the cafe....AND....Nicole & Manuel's wedding story can also be seen over at one of my favorite sites, Essence Online Bridal Bliss ....I love sharing weddings with Essence...I'm having so much fun working with them!....let's check out all the beauty of Nicole & Manuel's big day....Enjoy!!

I love how the pink, grey and cream color palette is carried throughout the wedding, as seen here in Manuel's tie!

Loving Nicole's retro style dress...I adore tea lenght dresses...Nicole shared that she knew instantly that this was the right dress for her...and she was totally right...she's a gorgeous bride!

Isn't this just the cutest little chapel....St. Mary's Chapel in Charlotte, NC.

Manuel isn't a "cake lover" so they opted to go with mini cheese cakes stacked on a cute wooden cupcake stand!

PARTY TIME!!.....I love it!!
