I had the honor of photographing Michael and Delaney’s wedding a few weeks ago, and it was such a sweet and intimate ceremony! They rented out an Airbnb and had family come in the day before to relax and hang out. They also organized the ceremony in the backyard (which was such an awesome idea!), and I loved how relaxing everything was! I remember the weather was chilly and cloudy that day, but it helped create some nice, soft lighting for the ceremony and portraits. I also loved how they were ready with some cozy blankets and quilts for the guests! One of the things I enjoyed most about working with Michael and Delaney was how easy-going and down-to-earth they were. The portraits we took after the wedding was so fun and I loved capturing their joy, silliness, and connection with one another! Enjoy scrolling through some of my favorite highlights from the wedding! Congrats again, Michael and Delaney!

Are you in need of a Durham Wedding Photographer? I'd love to work with you and capture this special season of life! You can get in touch with me by sending me an inquiry here. I'm proud to serve the greater Triangle area including Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and beyond.

I had the wonderful honor of capturing Cassandra and Blake’s intimate wedding ceremony earlier this month! Like many brides and grooms, they’ve been planning for months for their spring wedding, but had to rearrange their plans due to COVID-19. They decided to hold a very small, intimate wedding ceremony on their original wedding date and postpone their larger gathering in the fall for family and friends. Fortunately their wedding venue, Merrimon-Wynne House, was able to still let them hold their intimate wedding ceremony! It included only their parents, officiant, first witness, and me (who had the honor of acting as a second witness!). The ceremony took place on the lawn and we made sure to practice good social distancing. Blake set up his camera to stream their wedding on Facebook Live so their family and friends could watch—it was so sweet and thoughtful! I also loved that he also used his GoPro as a backup to record their wedding (I’m all about backups, too!). After the ceremony, we signed the wedding certificate and took a few portraits to remember this special day.

If you have a wedding coming up and desire to get married on your original wedding date, consider hosting a very small, intimate ceremony on your original wedding date and hosting the reception at a later date. I’d be more than happy to be your photographer as well as your second witness, too :) Congrats again, Cassandra and Blake, and can’t wait to celebrate y’all again in a few months!

Venue: Merrimon-Wynne House

Have you had to cancel, postpone, or figure out an alternate plan for an event due to COVID-19? I know many people, including myself, have had to do so! My dear friends, Chris and Juliet, had to postpone their original wedding plans to the fall, but we were able to have a very private, intimate wedding ceremony earlier this spring. It was close to their original wedding date, and included just their family. I was truly honored to be able to capture this beautiful wedding especially during this interesting and unique moment in history! The images I captured were taken with my portrait lenses, which allowed me to be more than 6 feet away from everyone. Besides the frequent hand sanitizing we were all doing, the precautions we were all taking didn’t take away the JOY of the day! Congrats, Juliet and Chris, and may God bless your marriage!

P.S. If you’re wondering about the portrait photos towards the end with Juliet holding a phone, those were images of her sister and her family. They couldn’t join us for the wedding, but they all got dressed up including her adorable nieces! They wore their flower girl dresses and sent a picture to Juliet—it was seriously the most precious thing ever!!!
