Samantha came in with a full vision: horse and carriage, candy truck, late night pretzel bar, a lace gown with a full train, heirloom pearls, and a white cowboy hat. Add in 92 degree heat, a rainstorm at golden hour, and a horse named Sammie who stole the show — and you’ve got one of the most memorable Alexander Homestead wedding days we’ve ever photographed.

Christine and Rob’s spring wedding at Alexander Homestead in Charlotte, NC was one of those days where everything just fell into place. Perfect weather, golden hour in the botanical gardens, a Star Wars lightsaber surprise, and a ball gown that absolutely stole the show. Come see why Alexander Homestead is a dream venue for a classic, romantic bride!
