Jenn and Sean's Wonderful Wedding at The Sutherland--Revisited!

Jenn and Sean had a beautiful and heartfelt wedding at The Sutherland on September 25th. Jenn's parents live in Franklinton NC so they had their wedding here. They came all the way from Bothell WA and their guests came from all over the country. There is a post earlier on this wedding. Since then I have received some photos from their photographer, Brian Mullins, and a thank you note from the couple that I wanted to add to the blog.

Jenn wrote: "Dear Rev. Middleton, Sean and I wanted to thank you for presiding over our wedding. We truly enjoyed working with you and appreciate all the love, guidance, and support that you gave to us. My guests couldn't say enough nice things about you and your beautiful ceremony. Thank you for being a special part of our day. Love, Jenn."

Brian Mullins is an exceptional photographer. I have admired his work through the years. You can go read his wonderful reviews on WeddingWire.com here.

Here Sean is saying his ring vows and slipping the ring on Jenn's finger.

At the rehearsal I always tell the couple that their kiss needs to be long enough for their photographer to get a good photo and assign them "kissing homework" the night before the wedding to practice, practice, practice! Jenn and Sean took that to heart and what a great picture Brian got!

Post wedding photos. It was raining as all afternoon and so we had to move the ceremony under the big tent in the Groom's terrace. When the ceremony was over, the rain had stopped and we got some great photos outside. This one is in front of the front steps of the manor house.

This photo was taken in the Walled Garden area where we would have had the ceremony had it not been raining. The Sutherland's grounds and gardens are just gorgeous!

Thanks for sending me these photos, Brian! You do such great work and are so much fun to work with!

Dear Kayelilly, many thanks for telling us that you were going to do a redux of our original wedding blog posting. Brian's pictures were absolutely perfect.

Words cannot possibly do justice in expressing our gratitude for everything that you did for us for our wedding. You made us feel at ease right away and left us feeling that we had the world at our fingertips.

You are truly a remarkable woman. As I mentioned in our session, I am not particularly religious anymore but was particulary intrigued by your spirituality. I think a visit is in order when Sean and I are in RDU this December (assuming your schedule has room and this is ok).

Thank you again for being part of our Dream Team. If I had it to do all over, I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Love, Jenn Bollen
