Wedding at The Arbors, Cleveland NC

Arbors Events in Cleveland, NC is a beautiful location for a formal wedding. And a perfect place during any season. Jennifer and Chris were planning an outside wedding. And technically they had an outdoor wedding, it just happened to take place under a tent.

The reception area was absolutely beautiful.

Candles and crystal everywhere.

I arrived an hour before the start time so I had a little time to wander and take photos.

Here's one of my favorites.

My kind of people.

After the ceremony guests usually enjoy a few cocktails during family photos.

No so for this clever couple. Guests were treated to desert, popcorn and lemonade.

Belle was well behaved and color coordinated.

The guests loved it when she walked down the aisle.

Family members were asked to bring containers of dirt from all the places Jen and Chris have lived. This dirt represents their individual personalities, from childhood all the way to the present, all the paths they have taken, people they have met, choices they have made, all the life experiences that have brought them to their wedding day.

 And just a couple quick iPhone photos of the happy couple.

Love the dress.
