Rebecca & Doyle {Married} | Atkinson Wedding Photography

November 09, 2016 by Tammy Barton in Wedding

I'd say this wedding was definitely one for all record books. With Hurricane Matthew's arrival, everyone seemed to be a little on the nervous side, everyone that is except Rebecca! We arrived at her parent's house and everyone was going about their business as usual, hair and makeup, food, and lots of chatter about the weather. The football game was on, to my surprise, the ladies really seemed to enjoy that!! You would have never known that we were being bombarded by a Hurricane outside, unless you looked outside that is. I must say, with everything that went on, Rebecca was a CLASS ACT through the entire day, as you would expect if you know her. I'm blessed to know this sweet couple, and even more blessed to have been a part of their very special, very eventful day!

Everyone pulled together to make this day perfect! From the fairy lights to the cakes as well as the homemade jam made by Rebecca's mom as favors (personally my favorite)...I'm sure they couldn't have asked for a better day! They have endured a lot in their first month of marriage, but I know the Lord has blessed this marriage, and we should all be so lucky to have what they do! I hope you enjoyed the photos, we plan to take more this weekend to make up for not being able to during the hurricane. I'll post those as soon as we're finished.

Sarah + Chris| Downtown Wilmington Wedding| The RiverRoom

May 23, 2016 by Tammy Barton in Wedding

I can't explain the measure of "blessed" I am to have been a part of Sarah & Chris' wedding. They are truly two of the most amazing individuals on this planet. Chris is a school teacher and Sarah is a nurse, so you already have an idea of the type of people they are. They committed their lives to serving others, and couldn't be any more Southern Sweet if they tried! I first met Sarah over a year ago at The RiverRoom, with Dar, Chris' mother. We walked through the site chatting about her plans, and then she went home and drew up a packet with exactly what she wanted, where, how, the works! I've never seen anyone more organized than her. She had a budget planned down to the penny. I was super impressed. The weather was perfect, the company was even better! May your lives always reflect how amazing you are. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part in your big day!

Tiffany + Adam| Wedding Photography Southport

April 26, 2016 by Tammy Barton in Wedding

I usually have no idea where to begin when writing blogs, but this one is quite simple, this family is tight, they are good and honest, they love Jesus, and they know how to have a good time. Sometimes simple is the best solution too. I never saw one person not in a good mood or smiling for this very sweet couple. In fact, yesterday was the one year anniversary of when Adam asked Tiffany to marry him. How better to celebrate it than to deliver their wedding photos! So grab a cup of coffee, tea or glass of wine and relax, because here's their story!

How They Met!

Cayla (my matron of honor) and I have been best friends for over 15 years and we finally were single together. I lived in Greenville, NC and she lived in Raleigh, NC. We would spend every weekend together. We would always find somewhere and some place to go visit on the weekends. It was our little adventures. For a couple of months she kept talking about this guy she knew name Adam, who I've never met, but he saw me in one of her Facebook pictures and kept asking her about wanting to meet me. I thought she was interested in him, but little did I know she was secretively wanted us to meet. One weekend in April, we decided to drive to Fayetteville, NC to the dogwood festival. My best guy friend David (my mans maid) was driving from Wilmington to meet us there. Cayla and I were at lunch before we drove there and told me that her friend Adam was also going to meet us there. We get to the festival and the first thing I had to do is use the ladies room (Port a potty). This really cute country boy was walking out of it as I was walking in it. This blonde, blue eyed man wearing cowboy boots caught my eye but he had a little pee on his pants. I can't remember exactly what I said but we ended up joking about it. When I came out of the port a potty, this charming fellow that caught my eye was standing beside my best friend. Cayla said Tiff this is Adam. And the rest is happily ever after. :)

The Proposal :-)

We've been dating for five years. He went turkey hunting with my dad that morning and I went to Pure Barre. When he got back I was taking a nap. No makeup and looking like I was homeless. I did just get my nails done so they were looking good. Thank you Jesus. haha. I got up and went to our shed because him and my dad were hanging out down there. The shed is a place where we all hang out and there's so many wonderful memories that we've made down there. I was sitting in the swing and mom just walked down to sit beside me and said she just put the bread in the oven to go with our super dad was grilling on the grill. Adam said I've got something to say and dropped down onto one knee. I was in so much shock, I didn't know what to say. It was a total surprise. We've talked about marriage but we've never looked at rings or anything. Dad cried and mama burnt the bread! Haha it was such an exciting time. Within 20 min we had about 45 family and friends that came over with champagne and we celebrated all night. It was a perfect night and my ring was gorgeous. I couldn't have picked one out better. It was so me and its so special to me because he designed it and I had no clue about it.
