The Oaks at Salem • Apex Wedding Photographer

I apologize for being insanely behind on posts! This is a pretty wedding from last fall in Apex. October always seems to be a very popular wedding month. And for good reason – the weather is usually perfect, as you can see evidenced below!

NC Botanical Gardens • Chapel Hill Wedding Photographer

Erin and Dave had contacted me in the fall of 2013 and I had been looking forward to it for what seemed like an eternity! It poured during the ceremony, but thankfully we were able to take advantage of the beautiful scenery beforehand! The rain did not make the ceremony any less emotional. They had friends travel thousands of miles to be with them on this special day. They moved to the West Coast shortly after the wedding and I hope they are enjoying the warm Cali sunshine! These two were one of the most easygoing and sweet couples I've worked with, and I'm so honored they picked me to document these moments for them.

Eno River State Park • Durham Wedding Photographer

My friend and fellow photographer got married last weekend! Sarah & Kyle asked me to take a few bride & groom portraits for them, and I'm so glad for the opportunity! After a 10-minute hike through the woods and crossing a narrow rope bridge, we arrived at the gorgeous setting. The weather and lighting were dreamy. It was a nice change being able to enjoy most of the wedding as a guest, but still be able to photograph part of a unique event. They wanted to for a natural, romantic feel and I hope I captured that for them. Here are a few of my favorites!

VENUE: Eno River State Park (Durham, NC)

St. Peter's & Marriott City Center • Charlotte Wedding Photographer

If you haven't seen this Erica & Matt's amazing engagement session, you should check out their story here so you can see why their big day was extra special to me. The day did not disappoint! Perfect weather, downtown Charlotte ('nough said), easygoing wedding party (fun group shots), a cute baby, and a young man and woman completely in love with each other. I also appreciated the ample time they gave us for photos. Check out what we created below!

University United Methodist Church & Sheraton Chapel Hill • Chapel Hill Wedding Photographer

Ever since I photographed Stephanie & Jonah last spring, I was looking forward to their Chapel Hill wedding! We didn't get the beautiful Carolina blue sky and sunshine, but spirits were not dampened one bit. Everyone looked like they had a fantastic time, and there was some very impressive dancing by family members!

Fort Macon & Private home • Morehead City Wedding Photographer

I joined Shannon and Richard on a breezy spring afternoon at his parents' house near Atlantic Beach. The day started out sunny and perfect, and ended with a campfire and s'mores. Other than seeing these two lovebirds tie the knot (literally), the part I was most excited about was being reunited with Toby the corgi!
