Vow Renewal at The Pinehurst Resort

I've been looking forward to this day since meeting Luke and Elaine in the summer for their photo session.  I got to meet the very independent Freya as we walked around the gardens.  I love December in NC...the weather was perfect!  After lots of rain on Friday through Saturday morning, the sun came out for their big day.  The girls relaxed with mimosas as they got ready.  Freya could not wait to put on her princess dress...she loved to twirl and ultimately danced the night away at the reception.

One of the highlights of the day, was when the efficient reminded the group of how Luke and Elaine met.  It was during freshmen orientation for college at Lewis University. They were fresh out of high school, right in the beginning of summer 2010.  Elaine's friends were sitting at a table waiting for a presentation to start but had to use the restroom. Of course, being girls, the group just went together. The presentation had already begun by the time we got out of the bathroom so they tried to hurry back to their table, but then they noticed their table was taken...by Luke and two of his friends.  Elaine made a little bit of a deal that they just stole their table so Luke happily scooted down to make room for all of them to sit down together. He ended up sitting across from Elaine.  They talked, played paper football, and then made plans to hang out later.  Luke, being the gentleman he is, made sure he "called dibs".  That was the beginning of something very special.

They were married four years later, but were not able to plan the big wedding of their dreams.  So they finally were able to do it!  They included their spunky daughter, Freya, and their closest family and friends.  Their wedding colors paid tribute to their favorite football team, The Chicago Bears!  It was elegant and fun.  Jack Hadden did a wonderful capturing their team colors with splashes of blue and orange.

Luke and Elaine really know how to plan a wedding.  It was amazing!!!  Here are some of my favorites from their special day.
