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!

How do I photograph a wedding in the middle of a hurricane? With LOTS of rain gear, protection, and backups! No matter what the weather conditions are, I’ve got your back :) I had the honor of working with Jesse and Orlando again, and it was a joy to capture their beautiful wedding. Hurricane Ophelia made her debut the day of their wedding, but that did not stop them from celebrating their love.

They had an intimate outdoor ceremony at their home, and despite the pouring rain, it was one of my favorite memories! Everything, from the weather to the mood, was just so real and authentic. I loved seeing how Jesse and Orlando (as well as all the guests and vendors!) simply embraced the rain and the moment. During the procession, I also loved how all the guests were cheering and clapping their hands when Jesse made it to the tent and reached Orlando! The support and love was so evident.

After the beautiful ceremony, the reception took place at the iconic Durham Arts Council. They had a sophisticated and unique dinner experience, and even had the owner from Snap Pea there! He explained the thought behind the menu, and shared the creative process regarding the dishes for the evening. When it was time to dance, they had a fun SOUL TRAIN, and the moves everyone had were SO good :) See more priceless moments from this beautiful wedding below! Congrats again, Jesse and Orlando!

I had such a wonderful time working with Clarissa and Brandon again, and this time it was for their beautiful wedding in Charlotte, NC! They are truly a cheerful and easy-going couple, and I can’t tell you how many times they made me chuckle! :) One of my favorite parts of the wedding was capturing the bride and groom portraits, and I had so much fun documenting their silliness as well as their love for one another. Their big, fluffy, and sweet dog, Lucy, was also part of the wedding and she did the CUTEST head tilt when posing for the camera! They also had an epic dance party and I was especially blown away by the amazingly-choreographed mother-son dance! Most of all, the joy and love in the room were so evident. Congrats again, Clarissa and Brandon, and may you create many more beautiful memories together!
