:: Dee & Zac ::

Dee and Zac were married at Laurel Creek Manor on September 5th, 2009. What a beautiful ceremony it was! They had a wonderful day with wonderful friends and family- and had lots of special touches that made the day even that more fabulous! Now- I did post a few photos from the wedding in the blog a few posts back... but that was just a teaser! I now have a handful of really great photos to show you courtesy of Chris McKenna Photography! Enjoy!


This is one of my favorite photo opportunities at Laurel Creek. Many people make sure to get the balcony shot from down below... but most don't realize how beautiful the balcony is from the brides room! Looks especially great in black and white!


The front porch is also one of the most fabulous photo spots at Laurel Creek! The great thing about this spot is that it doesnt matter what time of year your wedding is... you can have beautiful outdoor photos under the covered porch! Dee and all of her girls look so pretty here with the beautiful blues and grays she used in her color scheme!



Earlier I mentioned that these two had some very special touches at their wedding... and here is one of them! Handmade by the brides father... these shepherds hooks were so beautiful and unique!


Congratulations Dee and Zac!

:: Candace and Justin ::

What a treat- today I get to post not one... but TWO Real Laurel Creek Weddings! This post focuses on Candace and Justin who were wed here at Laurel Creek Manor on July 19th on a beautiful sunny day! Make sure to check on the next blog post below for photos of Jessica and Matt married on August 7th!

Here are just a few of my favorites below... but to see the entire collection from Candace and Justin's wedding check out their wedding slideshow or visit the Corliss Photography BLOG! Enjoy!















::Jessica and Matt ::

Here is one of our great August weddings- this is Jessica and Matt, married here at Laurel Creek on 8/7/09! This was a beautiful wedding with lots of fun little details- a "save the date" magnet with a photo of the couple, a custom made guest book, and beautiful hanging arrangements for the wedding arbor! Congratulations Jessica and Matt!


Not only does the bridal party get two great rooms for dressing, but they get private bathrooms and this beautiful little extra room perfect for an intimate photo by the windows!


The balcony in our Bridal Suite is one of the most incredible photo opportunities around! Take a photo like this one from below to capture the balcony and chandelier, or take one upstairs in the bridal suite for a different and completely fabulous look!




The front porch looks beautiful in any light, and especially magical at night! See above for a close up shot of Jessica's boquet resting on the stone pillar, and below for the couple in a relaxing shot on the stairs!



By now you are wondering.. who took all of these fabulous photos?! Well her name is Dori Shick and she was awesome! What a great, friendly, inspired photographer! Dori and I had a chance to chat for a few minutes before she left that night and I found out that her specialty in photography is Maternity, Newborn, Children, and Families! So for all of you who are starting a family or will be soon... make sure to check her website out!

Stay tuned for more great photos from Real Laurel Creek Weddings!!
