Romance at the Ritz Carlton in Charlotte

Melisa + Joshua

Wedding
November, 2025

Some weddings just feel like the perfect blend of elegance and comfort, and this Ritz Carlton wedding was exactly that. From the very beginning, the whole day felt like stepping into a quiet pocket of luxury right in the middle of the city. Melisa and Josh chose the Ritz Carlton precisely because it offered that gorgeous in between space- a little bit of modern city sophistication, and a little bit of airy outdoor charm. And honestly? It delivered on every level.

The wedding palette was a timeless dream, white, green, and gold. Elegant, and elevated with extravagant floral arrangements that tied everything together. The florals softened the clean lines of the Ritz and made the whole space feel warm, lush, and personal. It’s the kind of color pallet that never goes out of style, and it fit these two perfectly.

When Melisa stepped into view at the end of the aisle, everything else in the room just… stopped. Josh had been doing a pretty good job keeping it together up until that exact second, but the moment he saw her, glowing, lovely, completely breathtaking, his eyes filled up and that first tear slipped out before he could even pretend otherwise. It wasn’t a dramatic moment, just a completely genuine one. The kind of quiet, overwhelming emotion that says more about love than any words ever could. Melisa’s smile got even bigger as she made her way toward him. It was one of those perfect wedding day moments that everyone felt right down to their bones.

Marriage holds deep meaning for these two. They both value the commitment, partnership, and faith centered foundation that permeated the vows they made. Photographing them step confidently into that future was such an honor for us. Their love is fun, intentional, and full of respect, and the whole day reflected that energy.

Every detail of this Ritz Carlton wedding blended elegance with heart, and it was truly a joy to capture. Congratulations to this sweet couple. We are so grateful we got to document the start of your forever!
