Erin and Mark Marry at the Rand-Bryan House, October 23, 2010

Erin and Mark met as college sophomores and after years of graduate school and starting careers, they were finally able to marry. Their smiles here are every bit as bright and sunny as the day of their wedding. It was an absolutely glorious day for them to begin their married life and everyone in attendance was as happy as they were.

They chose as their wedding location the lovely Rand-Bryan House in Garner, NC. Situated atop a hill in a Christmas tree farm, it is a secluded setting that lends itself beautifully to special events.








The ceremony was held in the bright, cheery sunroom of the house.

To commemorate their marriage, Erin and Mark planted a young butterfly bush during the ceremony. Over time that bush is going to get very tall and every year they are going to have a lot of butterflies around their home. What a great remembrance to have of such a happy day.

The music for the ceremony was provided by Pavelid Castaneda on electric harp. It was exquisite. If you have never heard electric harp before, you are in for a treat when you do hear it. What a wonderful sound. And it was perfect for Erin and Mark’s wedding.

Here’s the adorable little Flower Girl who was quite the hit with everyone.

The beautiful program design was created for them by a good friend.

The photographer for the day was Curtis Brown of Curtis Brown Photography and here he is taking photos after the ceremony. His fun personality brought out everyone’s natural smiles.

It was a happy wedding, a perfect, beautiful day and I loved sharing in the joy. Erin and Mark, I hope your life together is filled with as much sunshine and happiness as your wedding day and your yard is always full of butterflies.
