FROM THE COUPLE

Why the chose to wed on the Outer Banks: Soon after coming home to Charlotte, we decided the Outer Banks was where we wanted to get married. I grew up in New Jersey and my family visited the Outer Banks every summer for vacation. Justin grew up in Virginia and visited often with his family as well, so we both felt it was a great place to join our families.

The inspiration behind their wedding: We visited again in September 2015 with my parents and picked the venue. We loved how cozy the First Colony Inn was, and could both envision our friends and family all spending the weekend together celebrating there. After the when and where were picked, everything that followed was really a collaborative effort by Justin and I and our families. My mom had a beautiful vision in her head of a very natural but elegant décor, and all of the vendors we worked with really helped to bring that vision to reality.

When Vashti and Brian got engaged, it was no question that they would wed on the Outer Banks. With their closest friends and entire family gathered by their side, this intimate oceanfront ceremony and reception was fill with endless love and laughs captured by Epic Shutter Photography. They began their ceremony on the beach with officiant Tony Joseph of I Do OBX Weddings as the sun began to set. After vows were exchanged, they celebrated just across the dune at a private oceanfront home in Corolla. After delicious cuisine by Ortega’z Grill, they danced poolside under a rising moon with Coastal DJ and Video. The beautiful floral's and confections were provided by The Flower Gallery & The Bakery at Harris Teeter in Kill Devil Hills.
