Heartfelt North Carolina Wedding
This North Carolina wedding shot by Oh! Darling Photography is so adorable, I just want to put it in my pocket. It’s a gorgeous fete with the most charming teeny chapel, which pretty much sums up the secret recipe for a fabulous celebration: close family + friends and lots of style. Love how the couple kept things in perspective and chose to have an intimate wedding with what matters most to them.
Kiki says that she and Cainnon wanted “our union to be about all the things we cherish as a couple. The whole wedding weekend was reminiscent of the summers of our childhood spent in the southern Appalachia, filled with family & friends, ice cold swims, and lots of Cheerwine.”

From Oh! Darling Photography : They totally nailed it and did it in such a heartfelt way…just their closest family and friends and the mountains they love. The ceremony took place at Church of the Good Shepherd in Cashiers – a little historic chapel that has served as the site of many of Kiki’s family’s weddings in the past. It, along with the reception site, are just around the bend from her family’s summer home in the mountains.

Johnny Cash Inspired Wedding
I am not kidding when I say that Jesi Haack Design crafts the most beautiful weddings I’ve ever seen. Pair her talents with equally amazing vendors such as John Robert Woods Photographer and Crafthouse Productions, this Johnny Cash inspired wedding sweeps me off my feet. I highly recommend viewing the entire gallery. It’s that good.
Instead of petal or rice toss, they had guitar picks! Guitar picks, people!
At the entrance of their ceremony setting, Jesi placed two guitar cases and two amplifiers, one on each side of the aisle.
They used a guitar for guests to sign on, with a faux vinyl record cover using one of their engagement photos.
Jesi Haack made their escort cards with harmonicas and guests received posters as wedding favors.
The groom Zak sang to his bride to propose, so it was only fitting that he would sing during the ceremony as well.
