I had the absolute pleasure of capturing Karen and Eddie’s beautiful garden wedding at Wrightsville Manor. From the first email exchange to the last photo taken, their love story and joyful personalities shone through every moment of their special day. Here’s a glimpse into their journey and the unforgettable wedding day they shared with family and friends.
Karen and Eddie’s story began 3.5 years ago in Washington, DC, introduced by mutual friends. Despite starting their relationship in the bustling capital, they discovered they both hailed from Upstate New York, just 20 minutes apart. It felt like fate had a hand in bringing them together, not once but twice.
Their relationship blossomed through shared passions and adventures. Sundays in the fall became synonymous with cheering for the Buffalo Bills, while outdoor activities like running, hiking, and camping filled their weekends. Their dog, Odin, was a constant companion on their walks, and their love for travel added a touch of excitement to their lives.
The Perfect Proposal
Eddie’s proposal to Karen was as meticulously planned as it was romantic. While in Colorado celebrating Eddie’s birthday with friends, their plans for the final night fell through. Quick on her feet, Karen made reservations at the highest rooftop bar in Denver, boasting a breathtaking view. As they posed for photos against the stunning backdrop, Eddie seized the moment. He pulled out a ring he had been carrying the entire trip and asked Karen to marry him. The timing was impeccable, and the proposal was picture-perfect.
The Wedding Day
The elegant wedding took place at Wrightsville Manor in Wilmington, NC. This venue, known for its charming garden setting, provided a perfect backdrop for their white, burgundy, and blue-themed wedding. The day was meticulously planned by Amy Frazier from Do Me a Favor Weddings, who also took care of the stunning floral arrangements.
