The 2012 Outer Banks Wedding Association Wedding Expo has come and gone, and what a weekend it was! I had such a great time catching up with all the vendors and meeting a whole new batch of amazing brides and grooms!

The wedding weekend is always crazy! I started the expo weekend with the wedding tour on Saturday, and I was thrilled to be set up at the fabulous Pavilion at Pirate’s Cove – which also happens to be MY wedding venue as well!  I had a great day hanging with Heather from Pirate’s Cove as we chatted about our upcoming weddings, and met with a lot of really great engaged couples! Quickly rushed over to the high school to set up my booth, and I must give a HUGE thanks to my family and friends. Every year they really take one for the team to help me prepare.

Saturday night I ventured to welcome reception with my second shooter, Renee, to check out the super fabulous David Tutera from WE tv’s My Fair Wedding! After hearing him talk, and a Q&A session with the audience he was gracious enough to stick around for photos.  I’m normally a level headed person, but I was actually giddy to meet David! Can you say goober?

My super awesome second shooter, Renee, jumped in:

Sunday’s Expo is always an exciting day. The crowds, the food, the cake…..what more can you ask for? I always get there bright and early to put the finishing touches on my booth and visit with everyone! We were thrilled when David Tutera stopped by and I was able to get another photo with him IN my booth. He is the nicest guy, sticking around for a few minutes to chat with us on how he feels about the “First Look”.
