If you like DIY-chic weddings, then look no further!  MaryEllen and Nate were married at the Fragrance Gardens of Greenfield Lake just outside of Downtown Wilmington.  This was my first time shooting a wedding here, and I must say, it seems like the best kept secret of Wilmington.   If you are looking for a beautiful garden wedding, then you need to keep this venue in mind!  Aside from the girls’ hair which was styled by the artists at Hypnotix, and the food catered by Culinary Creations, EVERYTHING you see was created by family and friends of the bride and groom.  So much so that the flowers were clipped from the parent’s backyard.  And the same cake topper sat atop the bride’s parent’s wedding cake 42 years ago!

I had such a hard time narrowing the shots down that I wanted on the blog.  The light was great, and we were all having so much fun that I had to include all my favs.   So what we have here is a giant blog post filled with great colors, wedding details, and two precious people.  Congratulations MaryEllen and Nate!!  If you enjoyed the images, let me know in the comments area below!
