Taylor loves flowers. She even has a tattoo of a flower on her arm to commemorate that love. So when they were hunting for venues and they came across the gorgeous courtyard gardens at Lewis Ginter, the search was over. She knew this was the place where she wanted to marry Brandon. In a gorgeous garden literally surrounded by all sorts of flowers! 

Brandon and Taylor’s love story reminds me of my own (not just because our grooms have the same name!) because they are also high school sweethearts that started dating at the end of high school after being friends for years. And besides their love for each other, a close second is their mutual love for dogs! When I asked them what their future looked like, they said more dogs!! Now these are my kind of people!

Taylor and Brandon are both so laid back and easy-going which was reflected in their wedding day. The had an intimate Friday afternoon wedding nestled in intimate blooming gardens. All the details were light and romantic. Their wedding just feel like a clean breath of fresh air! And the lack of rain was an added bonus after all this rain we’ve had lately! I’ve never been so happy to see sun on a wedding day! Taylor and Brandon, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your big day! Hope you’re having a blast in St Lucia!  


All the praise hands for florists that give you leftover flowers and greenery for detail photos! They really make these photos!
