Carolina Wedding Barn | Katie & Justin's Wedding | A New Bern, NC Wedding Photographer

Katie & Justin had the sweetest wedding on Saturday in the quant town of New Bern, NC! Fun fact: Nicholas Sparks lives in New Bern! Sammi and I went up the day before the wedding and stayed at a nice hotel on the river and we had a blast walking around the city. Katie and Justin's wedding day was beautiful. It threatened to rain all day but it never did and the sun even came out towards the end of the day! My favorite part of their day was the Elvis impersonator they had during their reception, I've never seen that done at a wedding before!

Merry Hill | Cheryl & Ryan's Wedding| A Mebane, NC Wedding Photographer

I've really enjoyed getting to know Cheryl and Ryan during their engagement session, bridal portraits, and wedding. They had the most beautiful & laid back wedding with perfect weather, a great venue, friends and family, peacocks, bluegrass, and BBQ!

Merry Hill | Cheryl's Bridal Portraits | A Mebane, NC Wedding Photographer

I am so excited to share Cheryl's lovely bridal portraits with you today! We shot Cheryl's bridals at her wedding venue, Merry Hill, which is one of my favorite venues! I love how classy and southern it is! We got lucky and took Cheryl's bridals while the cherry blossom trees were still in bloom. Cheryl made an absolutely STUNNING bride. Today I'm sharing with you a few of my favorite portraits we took and I can't wait to share wedding photos soon:

Coker Arboretum | Cheryl & Ryan's Engagement Pictures | A Chapel Hill, NC Wedding Photographer

I always love visiting UNC's beautiful campus! I had a wonderful time walking around with Cheryl and Ryan and taking in all the pretty flowers in the Coker Arboretum. We also managed to get a few pictures at the old well which was quite a feat because we had to battle a whole sorority formal and several graduating seniors for a spot! I'm really looking forward to Cheryl and Ryan's wedding a Merry Hill in just a few more weeks!! 

Bakery 105 | Abby & Brandon's Wedding | A Wilmington, NC Wedding Photographer

Abby & Brandon's Wilmington wedding was absolutely beautiful! I loved their bright, colorful, and laid back waterfront wedding. Abby and Brandon are both Animal Veterinary Science students at NC State and so they found special, meaningful ways to incorporate their love of animals and of their dog, Petrie throughout their day. Abby and Brandon also read their own vows to one another and I can't think of a time when I've heard sweeter vows, I was fighting back tears behind the camera!
