I had the honor of capturing Makayla and Conner’s GORGEOUS winter wedding in January! The ceremony took place at Emmaus Baptist Church in Pittsboro, and there were SO many sweet and tender moments throughout the day. One beautiful moment that stood out to me was when Makayla finished getting ready, and her mom went over to her to hold her hands, say a few words, and hug her (Makayla is the youngest of four siblings!). It is always touching to capture organic moments like this of a mama and her baby girl! I also loved capturing Makayla and Conner praying together before the ceremony. I remember it was such a sweet and raw moment for the both of them trying to hold back tears, but also smiling at the same time because of their excitement!

The ceremony was absolutely beautiful, and the portraits we captured afterwards were also amazing. I’m a huge fan of backlighting, so I was stoked to see clear skies and a beautiful sunset when I captured portraits of just Makayla and Conner! I seriously couldn’t stop taking photos cuz the lighting was absolute perfection! Once we finished, we headed to the reception at Pittsboro Roadhouse. One of the highlights for me was documenting Makayla and Conner’s first dance. They choreographed their dance, and it was seriously like watching Dancing with the Stars (it included a flip!). When the reception ended, we finished with an epic sparkler sendoff. The joy on their faces (as well as the guests!) was absolutely priceless! I also loved how Makayla and Conner took time to look at each of their guests to thank them as they passed by!

Enjoy my favorite highlights below! Congratulations, Makayla and Conner—may God bless you two and your marriage!

I’m SO excited to share Roy and Tiffany’s wedding with you all! They had a beautiful winter wedding at The Cotton Room in December, and I was so impressed this couple built their own wedding arch for the ceremony! I honestly thought it was part of the rental at the venue, but I learned they built and designed everything themselves. My jaw literally dropped in awe when I saw it! You have to take a look for yourself below! In addition, the DETAILS and decor were so romantic, chic, and elegant. From the ring box, to the programs, to the signs, to the wedding cake and donuts, to the chocolate wedding favors, to SO much more—it was all so thoughtfully done!

Second, I remember the weather was rainy and chilly, so we didn’t have a chance to get shots outside. However, the venue was so beautifully decorated (and the big windows gave us a lot of natural light!), it didn’t stop us from getting gorgeous photos of the First Looks and portraits inside! When I captured the First Looks, I won’t forget how sweet and tender the moment was between Roy and Tiffany. When they were reading their letters to each other, let’s just say by the end I had tears in my eyes, too! I had to keep blinking back the tears so I could see through the camera and not miss the shot!

Lastly, it was truly their love for one another that was so moving. They have such a deep, genuine love for each other and for the Lord, and it was beautiful to see how God brought them together (read their story here!). I loved how they gave praise and glory to the Lord as they sang, “In Christ Alone,” for worship during the ceremony! After an amazing ceremony, reception, and dancing, we had an epic sendoff! When they came out, flower petals were thrown in the air and there was SO much energy, excitement, and cheering! There was a ton of joy and love in the air, and I absolutely loved how happy they both looked. Enjoy scrolling through some highlights below!
