This styled wedding shoot at Fussell Farm in Millers Creek, North Carolina was a beautiful collaboration that I was thankful to be a part of. For wedding photographers and other vendors, it’s like Christmas when a new wedding venue opens its doors in our backyard, especially one as great as Fussell Farm. The owners, Vickie […]

The Grand Opening event for the Overlook Barn, a new NC wedding venue, was something I’ve been looking forward to ever since I got the beautiful hand-lettered invitation in the mail. I’m a sucker for gorgeous penmanship and pastel watercolor designs so I RSVP’d immediately!  Since a handful of couples getting married at Overlook Barn […]

The sound of fire truck sirens echoed nearby as Leslie and Nick’s ceremony was just getting started. Any other couple might be annoyed at the blaring interruption, but they both laughed it off and made a joke because they weren’t going to let something silly ruin a perfectly beautiful day.

“Where could it be?!” Ali wondered. “When were you last wearing it?!” one of the bridesmaids questioned as we attempted to solve this conundrum. We were all perplexed as we retraced her steps to the ceremony site. Somewhere along the way Ali’s veil blew off and it was nowhere to be found. Since we were […]

The ceremony […]
