You could tell that James and Brittany had been waiting for this wonderful wedding day for some time- I don’t think I’ve ever seen a groom with a bigger smile on his face the entire day than James. James and Brittany met through a mutual friend six years ago and here’s Brittany’s version of how James popped the question-

We planned to go to Charlotte for a basketball game for James birthday which was Saturday April 9th – we got to our hotel on Friday afternoon and went upstairs to the rooftop restaurant per James request for a drink/appetizer before the game. Little did I know he had an engagement planned and invited a small group of our closest friends to be there as well to surprise me! When we got upstairs a waitress sat us at a table and he had a slideshow of us throughout our 6 years together waiting on an ipad at the table for me to watch while he “ran to the bathroom”. When he got back the slideshow was over and he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him and our friends were all there waiting and watching as well! Needless to say the basketball game that followed was quite a blur!

So sweet! We started the wedding day at the historic 701 Whaley building where Brittany getting ready.

I love having two photographers because Mary was able to get some amazing shots from the stairs while I (Katie) grabbed some close ups from the sides.

Congratulations Brittany & James!
