Admittedly a hopeless romantic, I simply LOVE love. The beautiful season of life that you're in right now is a gift! Having a photographer you trust throughout the entire wedding planning process, as well as someone willing to advocate for you on your big day, is such an important role, and my biggest honor. The name In Bloom is inspired by my love for flowers and how they can be seen as a metaphor for life. A delicate staple of beauty that grows and withstands the elements, ultimately blooming and weathering the ever- changing seasons. My passion flourishes in capturing life's moments that are beautiful and fleeting, like a flower In Bloom.

Christan has such a positive and fun energy. We are so happy we chose Christan to be our photographer! We got our sneak peeks so fast which was a highlight to end our night! Her work stays consistent and what we saw on her website is what we received with our gallery. She worked her magic with our Florida heat and gave us beautiful photos we will cherish forever. If I could've I would have had her with us for longer hehe! On your wedding day your photographer is with you all day so you want to make sure you have someone with good, fun (and professional at the same time) kind of energy and that was In Bloom Photography!

Hi, my name is Faith. I have been passionate about photography since 2017, when I first picked up a camera to capture my dogs growing up. What started as a simple love for photographing my pups has evolved into a deep passion for capturing moments that tell a story. Traveling is another love of mine, and Africa holds a particularly special place in my heart. I have been fortunate enough to visit three times, with hopes to have many more trips. When I am not behind the camera, I'm either coaching gymnastics, spending time with my two dogs, or exploring the world around me.

Faith is a phenomenal photographer! I have had the pleasure of working with her on several occasions, all at different venues. She is very well rounded and works extremely well with adults and children. Faith has a soft and kind demeanor, all while producing strong and fierce photos. Aside from her photography, she is wonderful at planning and scheduling. Faith is well organized, giving the customer/family a stress free photoshoot. I highly recommend Faith M.

Most likely to be seen carrying a binder and crying at first looks and vows.

I cannot say thank you enough to Steph! She was absolutely amazing. She was so committed to learning what aspects of the wedding were most important to us and making sure they happened on the day of. For example, we were getting caught up in the dancing and were going to skip the cake cutting. She didn’t push, she just asked, “Are you sure? You told me that this was something that was important to you, so I just want to check”. And I’m so thankful she did that, because it’s one of my favorite wedding moments! She went absolutely above and beyond for us. I am currently in medical school and was so stressed leading up to the wedding, but Steph made me feel like it was possible. She was so organized and wrote out every detail we discussed. She went out of her way to suggest some vendors we were struggling to book last minute, and the list goes on.

Homesteads Events at Loray Mill is a banquet hall wedding venue located in Gastonia, NC. The open-plan event space provides an old-world, industrial ambiance for your wedding event. Homesteads Events can accommodate a range of celebrations, from an intimate engagement party to a grand wedding soiree. The main event hall offers space for up to 300 guests and features 38-foot-high ceilings and exposed brickwork throughout the entire area. Large windows allow natural light to flood the space, adding a sense of bright airiness to the room. Poured concrete floors, original wooden pillars, and exposed beams lend charm and character to the banquet hall, which can be personalized with your own decor. Also available is a one-bedroom loft apartment with a full kitchen that can be used as your honeymoon suite for your wedding night. Homesteads Events offers a range of all-inclusive packages to ensure your event needs are fully met.

Our experience with Homesteads was absolutely top notch. My husband and I have been involved in over 200 weddings between planning, coordinating, catering, attending, being in the bridal party, and now as bride and groom--so we have truly seen the full spectrum of wedding vendors and venues. From our very first meeting to our wedding day and even beyond, the staff at Homesteads has exceeded our expectations. Venue director Hannah is professional yet relatable and gave us helpful tips and recommendations along the way, responded to all our questions in a timely manner, and overall made our entire day flow smoothly. Catering director Kim is a sweetheart and worked with us to create several versions of our menu and was patient as my (former chef) husband made tweaks over the course of several months. The day-of staff and bartenders were outstanding--serving our guests with excellence, making them feel welcome, and contributing to the overall atmosphere we had envisioned. They brought us food and drinks all night and we didn't have to think about anything except enjoying the party we had spent so many months planning! So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and unique the venue was. There are so many different event spaces at Loray Mill and we ended up hosting our rehearsal dinner / welcome party there as well--truly a full-service venue. With so much to plan for our wedding, it was a huge relief that they also provided tables & chairs, linens, catering, alcohol, bar service, security, etc. and we didn't have to "Frankenstein" all of those details. Many of our vendors were already familiar with the venue which was a huge plus as well. We love Hannah and Homesteads and would recommend this venue and this team to absolutely anyone!

Hi there! I'm Jackie, and this is my husband & business partner, Cory. Many photographer's "about me" section will tell you how they've known they wanted to be a photographer since they were a child. Not mine. I didn't know that's what I wanted until I actually started taking pictures and realized that photography was the creative outlet I had been missing my entire life. Not only am I so incredibly blessed to have this amazing, life-giving business; I'm even more blessed to get to share it with my husband.

Jackie is phenomenal! She and her husband were our best wedding vendors by far. She went above and beyond not only capturing beautiful photos, but also doing things to make sure our day went smoothly. She delivered our engagement and wedding photos quickly and they are stunning. I cannot recommend her enough!

Gastonia, NC
  • Venue
  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Separk Mansion is a wedding venue located in Gastonia, North Carolina that is just 20 minutes from Charlotte. This renovated mansion is designed with beautiful weddings in mind and will give you an elegant backdrop that will create a celebration that is full of everlasting memories. Separk Mansion is ideal for both indoor and outdoor weddings. The first floor ballroom retains old vintage hardwood floors and has a ceiling that shimmers with crystal chandeliers. At the front there is a large staircase as well as large front doors that lead to an expansive limestone veranda that can be used for a cocktail hour. This impressive estate was built in 1919 by textile mogul Joseph Separk. He lived in the mansion with his wife and son during the 1920s. In 2012 it underwent complete renovation and is currently one of the most popular locations for ceremonies and receptions. The mansion is part of the York Chester Historic District and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Working with Separk was super easy from start to finish. We had Hannah as our wedding coordinator and she did a great job with creating and sticking to the timeline. She also did great at setting up our decor items and some flowers we brought to the venue. She was very communicative with us and our bridal party/family so that everyone knew what was expected from them for the ceremony. Overall we had a great experience with Separk and had the most perfect wedding thanks to them!

Greetings, my name is Marissa. I am the owner of Twin Blooms traveling flower cart. The inspiration for my business stems from my twin sons.

I could not recommend Marissa and Twin Blooms enough! She was so great to work with, always responded super fast, was so sweet and accommodating when I kept adding things to my order.

As a planner, I can speak to the amazing wedding videos that they produce. Their attention to detail will really blow you away. As a company, they are always so quick to respond and their video turnover time was so much quicker than I ever experienced in the industry before. They also offer unlimited hours, which really sets them apart. I will absolutely recommend them to everybody because their customer service, product and response time all exceeded my expectations. They're super friendly and a joy to work with. If you're looking for a professional company with an amazing video for your wedding day, then I highly recommend them.
