Top Three Ways to Add Ambiance to Your Wedding by Kelli Conley

The fact that it is your wedding day already makes it special; but sometimes you just want to add a little more to help create the mood and set the scene for how you truly envision your day looking and feeling. Here are the top three ways to add ambiance to your wedding: 1.) Lighting 

Whether it is up-lighting, twinkle lights, or candle light… the lighting will 100% set the tone and feel that you want guests to have that day.2014-04-13_00042014-04-13_00052014-04-13_0006

2.) Flowers

Flower arrangements, both size and placement around your venue can do wonders to add to the ambiance of your day. Whether you are looking for dramatic or romantic, talking to your florist and really using your flowers to pronounce your theme will help create ambiance in itself.2014-04-13_0007

3.) Decor

Having dinnerware, napkins, table cloths, statement pieces, etc. will all help increase the ambiance that you have going with the above two things. A lot of times brides and grooms will cut these items out due to budget and that is totally understandable, but if budget allows they make for an amazing addition to the ambiance of the day.2014-04-13_00012014-04-13_00022014-04-13_0003

I absolutely adore Mina & Scott! When I met Mina years ago she came up to me and said you will be photographing my wedding. When that time can around I was so excited that she indeed did want me to photograph her wedding! She is such am awesome person both inside and out and her wedding day absolutely showed that! (As well as their engagement session which you can see here, and her awesome bridal session on the carousel at Carowinds seen here) When she was telling me about all that she had planned I couldn't believe it! And was so excited to capture the love that her and Scott have for each other with their beautiful wedding as the backdrop! Then to top it all off, her wedding was picked up and published by Carolina Bride! This made my heart skip because it could not have happened to a more deserving bride!

When Anna reached out to me asking for some pictures of her and Nick I was so excited. They had got married last year but just did an intimate ceremony and did not have any professional pictures of themselves.The two of them were nervous at the beginning but were natural in front of the camera and we had a fun time! I asked Nick at the end how he felt, he said that was the longest he had ever been in front of the camera but it was a great experience, and didn't feel like it had been that long. Luckily for me they were adventurous with me and allowed me to take them into the road, on rocks, laying on blankets, in the middle of the forest... and all the while Anna was amazing walking in her heels! I hope these pictures are lasting memories of how their first year of marriage has been, and I look forward to seeing their relationship continue to grow!2014-04-04_0001   2014-04-04_0004 2014-04-04_0003 2014-04-04_00022014-04-04_00062014-04-04_00052014-04-04_0007
