I recently had the honor of photographing this gorgeous elopement ceremony for Mackenzie and Will at Drake’s Landing. They are truly some of the most polite and kind couples I’ve met, and I absolutely LOVED seeing how much they smiled the whole time! :) I also thought it was so sweet that they did a feet washing during the ceremony. It was such a beautiful way to show their desire to love and serve one another! After the ceremony, we had a delightful cake cutting and also captured some beautiful portraits of the bride and groom! Congrats again, Mackenzie and Will! God bless your marriage, and may you have a lifetime of joy and happiness!

What a joyous day! I had the honor of photographing a sweet and intimate wedding for Lisa and Harold at Drake’s Landing in Fuquay-Varina. It was such a beautiful and sunny day, and I loved the relaxing and romantic atmosphere! I especially loved the signage that described their love:

“When two old souls fall in love, they make each other feel like home.

Together, they become the remedy for each other’s brokenness and heal past wounds.

Even their silence of togetherness sings a beautiful melody only known to them.

Their lives are forever changed.

To bring happiness to each other and a promise of a new beginning.”

After the ceremony, I captured portraits of them in a GORGEOUS little field. I usually give couples a lot of prompts and guidance when I’m photographing, but they were SO natural and comfortable in front of the camera that I barely had to give any direction! Their chemistry and connection with each other were beautiful, and I absolutely LOVED how they could easily make each other laugh and smile :) See more amazing photos from this sweet wedding below! Congrats again, Lisa and Harold!

I had the honor of capturing Susan and Andrew’s wedding this summer at the beautiful Haw River Ballroom in Saxapahaw! I met Susan and Andrew through the BSF Raleigh Young Adult’s Class, and they have grown to be sweet friends to my husband and me. They are truly a sweet and joyful couple, and have a great sense of fun (as you’ll see in the photos below!).

I remember the forecast kept going back and forth between rain and sunshine till the day of the wedding. Fortunately, most of the rain stayed away once we started capturing photos! One of the most touching moments that day was when Susan and Andrew prayed together before the ceremony. Y’all, it was seriously SO beautiful, tender, and touching that I started to get tears in my eyes when they were praying!

Another fun and special aspect of the wedding was the reception. The wedding party surprised all the guests by doing the YMCA on the stage, and it was super AWESOME, so well coordinated, and the crowd went wild! Also, they had the coolest and most unique alternative to a bouquet toss and garter toss; they did a BEAR TOSS. Yes, you hear that right! A bear toss! Susan tossed a UNC teddy bear and Andrew tossed a NC State teddy bear (those were their alma maters), and the crowd absolutely LOVED it!

There were SO many more beautiful and awesome moments, and I wish I could share them all with you! Below are just some of my favorites that capture the joy and excitement of the day! Congrats again, Susan and Andrew, and may God bless your marriage!
