Sema and Russell had the most wonderful wedding in Charlotte, NC on the shores of Lake Wylie.  It was almost completely DIY besides the catering they got from Jim N Nick's BBQ.  The flowers they ordered didn't arrive on time due to Hurricane Irma, so they foraged for some and went to the local stores to get the baby's breath and lilies.  Sema's brother-in-law, Alp, is an architect, so he designed the arbor with mock ups and written plans included!  All of the guests flew in from different countries to include Istanbul, Sydney, Perth, Antalya, and London, so the only US natives present were us and the other vendors!  

​

The atmosphere was so laid back with such a mix of cultures  that it was honestly my favorite Charlotte wedding photography event from 2017! To read more about their amazing wedding, read my blog entry about them!  There are some fun stories about their day and engagement!
