Andrew and Joanna were married in September at the Duke Gardens with their reception at the Washington Duke Inn. We were so lucky (insert sarcasm here) to find out that Duke was playing Alabama at the exact same time as the ceremony and if you are familiar with Durham you know that means serious road closures and traffic! With some good planning we were able to ensure that everyone made it to the ceremony and reception on time though. Joanna was an absolutely stunning bride, as you can tell by the gorgeous images from the fabulous Brian Mullins below. Her smile literally can light up a room! And she is super sweet to boot! Enjoy some of our favorites from the day!
