Dustin & Regina | Charlotte Wedding at Il Bella Gardens

It with MUCH excitement that I share this beautiful wedding with you guys. This wedding was a special one – after relocating my business from VA to NC, this was my very first Charlotte wedding, and I couldn’t have asked for a better one! This couple is fantastic and the team of vendors they put together was a dream team! A list of complete vendors/websites are at the bottom of the post!

Dustin & Regina’s wedding day was nothing short of a fairytale! Their coral and navy details were swoon-worthy. So much time was put into this day, and you could just see they were loving every moment of this special day that finally arrived. It was such an honor to document their love story!
