Carrie and Eric's wedding had everything a great wedding needs: a full house of guests, close friends telling the kind of stories that embarrass the couple in exactly the right way, and a setting that did a lot of the work for me, Winmock at Kinderton in Bermuda Run, North Carolina.


The food matched the setting, real Eastern North Carolina barbecue, and the night had one more surprise waiting: a surprise appearance from an Elvis impersonator that had the whole room laughing. Big venue, great barbecue, and Elvis showing up uninvited. Any time those three things land in the same night, I'm a happy photographer.
