Raleigh NC Wedding

The Merrimon-Wynne House | Cassie & Brock's Wedding | A Raleigh, NC Wedding Photographer

Cassie and Brock's wedding day was about as close to perfect as you can get! They had a beautiful and sunny 65-70 degree wedding day in the middle of February! They also had a stunning venue and an amazing team of vendors. Their details were perfect; what could be better than copper + greenery + succulents + and lots of geometric shapes?!

Cassie and Brock are so much fun together and their joy over being with one another exuded throughout their wedding day. Their day was a big celebration full of close family and friends. Brock is actually being deployed in a few weeks and so it was a joy for Cassie and Brock to be able to come together as husband and wife before he leaves.

Second Empire Restaurant and Tavern | Ashley & Nathan's Vow Reaffirmation | A Raleigh, NC Wedding Photographer

Ashley and Nathan have a beautiful story! After they got engaged, Ashley was unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer. Instead of planning a large wedding, they decided to get married quickly and have a small ceremony. Over the next year and a half of their marriage, Ashley went through radiation, chemotherapy, and a liver transplant. Thankfully, Ashley successfully made it through her treatment and transplant! So, Ashley and Nathan decided to plan a larger vow reaffirmation and they re-committed themselves to one another on 6/4/16. 

During their ceremony, the pastor said that their marriage is a picture of Christ's steadfast love towards us. I thought that was a beautiful way to explain how they have steadfastly loved one another through the trials they've faced just as Christ loves his children steadfastly and continually. I was so blessed to hear a small part of their story and to see them have the opportunity to reaffirm their vows and celebrate their marriage after a period of intense hardship. I was honor to photograph!
