caitlin and jacob… married… june 16. 2012…. duke chapel and croaisdale country club…. Our couples tend to come from all walks of life and in as many different flavors (of personality) that you could think of. We seem to be on a bit of a drug induced couple binge as of late, as we have had three or four couples that are all going to be Pharmacists of some type or another in their professional lives. Caitlin and Jacob are our most recent case in point. Caitlin is sweet, beautiful, fun, full of smiles and a little bitty thing. Jacob is brilliant, easy going, kind, and a big guy that loves to hold his bride. Their wedding day was a little different in that it was divided up into four different parts. First of course was Jamie and I splitting up to shoot them both at their respective locations while they prepare and get dressed for the day. Second stop was at their reception hall (Croasdaile Country Club), we stopped here just for their first look Jamie and I really do love first looks, and as always it was a really special time for them. What a difference it makes in the day in both how you feel and on the schedule as well. Caitlin’s dad had a bit of a surprise for her for the ride after their first look, he had an Excalibur Roadster waiting to take him and his daughter over to Duke University. With their first look done and both of them glowing, we set off for their wedding ceremony. Caitlin’s mom is on faculty at Duke University and so it was an easy decision for Caitlin to want to have their ceremony in the Duke Chapel. The campus at Duke is nothing short of amazing. The architecture, attention to details and grandeur of it all is really breath taking. The ceremony was elegant, beautiful and the perfect place for them to be married. Now officially married and ready to party off we set to the fourth and final destination, Croasdaile Country Club. There, they got a Huge surprise!! Caitlin and Jacob have a dog appropriately named after an antibiotic, Moxie, and Caitlin’s mom sewed her a wedding dress to match the bridesmaid’s dresses!! It was SO cute!! Caitlin and Jacob LOVED that!! Their reception was a lot of fun and Jamie and I feel very fortunate to have been able to be a part of Caitlin and Jacobs wedding day. Thank you guys for letting us share in your memories and for letting us get the pictures and images to commemorate your day. Best Wishes to you and of CONGRATULATIONS !
