KATIE HARDEN + HARRISON SASSER

Photographer: Sarah Bell Photography Wedding Planner: Vision Events Wedding & Event Planning

The whole world celebrated as Katie and Harrison tied the knot on a balmy New Year’s Eve. But for the more than 200 guests who traveled to join the couple in wedded bliss, Mid Pines was the only place to be. Revelers moved to the sound of family favorite Mr. Potato Head within Katie’s classically elegant space, decorated with metallics perfect for a midnight countdown.

The party was the ultimate cap to a yearlong engagement that began along the Intracoastal Waterway in Wrightsville Beach.
