Kassie + DJ, Nags Head, North Carolina 

7/28/2014

Comments

 
Kassie and DJ were my very last couple that I photographed from Louisiana. and yet they did not get married in Louisiana. People flew in from all over the place, including myself all the way from Costa Rica. It was a beautiful day for a couple who truly deserves it. The ceremony took place in the afternoon on the white sandy beaches of Nags Head in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Immediately after a rockin' reception took place at the Village Beach Club. 

I remember the first time I met Kassie and DJ, and got to talk to them about their wedding. I remember DJ telling me that it would be a crazy fun night,  and that him and his boys would provide lots of crazy fun photo ops. I would say that I was pretty well warned for what I was getting myself into, yet when you first enter the guys area of getting ready, you never know what to expect. All of the young men were very courteous, but boy were they wild.

The girls, on the opposite side of the spectrum, where very calm and quiet. They cracked a few jokes every now and then, but mostly focused on getting ready for the events to come. I loved taking photos of Kassie in curlers, I think every bride should have curlers in her hair for getting ready photos.

Being on the East coast was so much different for me, the lighting is the complete opposite from what I am used to on the warm Pacific waters of Costa Rica. It was a nice change, and a new challenge to work with the sun coming from the opposite direction.

The DJ/wedding planner/master of ceremonies was Liz Daley from Liz Daley Events. She is known for providing something a little different from your typical wedding reception, and she definitely knows how to get the party started. Instead of your typical bridal party introduction, Liz "roasts" each bridal party member as they make their way in. This was certainly a revealing yet entertaining part of the night.

Kassie and DJ were not roasted, but were introduced with a story of they came to be, also highly amusing.

The couple brought some spicy treats from Louisiana for their guests. "Chow, chow" is the green sauce that is in the mason jars. It is a spicy homemade sauce that goes great in gumbo. I sneaked one back with me to Costa Rica, it is delicious!

The bride's sister had found out ahead of time of the roast that was planned for her and her fellow bridesmaids, and so she decided to burn the bride and groom in her speech to them. All in good fun of course.
