Where do I begin! Mark and Jen have probably been the most unique couple I have ever had the pleasure to film a wedding for (and that is a compliment). Everything about their wedding was pure original and had Jen’s flare everywhere you looked…from her fuschia wedding dress to the fuschia glow sticks! From my first meeting with Jen (when she handed me a precisely drawn floorplan of the ceremony site), I knew this wedding was going to be one to remember…and it was! We started filming Jen getting her hair and makeup done at Lauren Ashley’s Salon & Day Spa in Erwin NC. From there, we shot down I-40 to the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Raleigh where her and her bridesmaids got dressed. Prior to the ceremony, Mark and Jen planned a perfect “first look” on Fayetteville St. right in front of the Courthouse. The Ceremony and Reception were held down the street at The Mahler which is a fine art gallery (definitely worth checking out when you are in Raleigh). After the Cereomony, Mark, Jen, and their guests walked back to the Courthouse where they performed a butterfly release…that was awesome! The Reception was rocked by the very talented Taylor Pittman from Taylor Made DJ Services: great DJ and the nicest guy you will ever meet. The evening was filled with eating and dancing….in the dark with those fuschia glow sticks! Congratulation’s Mark and Jen!
