The Moments Before

This winter wedding captured the feeling of the first snow of the year: full of excitement and anticipation. These two spent the morning of their wedding with their closest friends and intentionally set aside time to sit, think, & write about their love for one another. After their first look, they exchanged letters, and it was clear that the day ahead was going to be full of joy.


Vowing to Love

In this beautiful ballroom ceremony – complete with a string quartet playing as this bride walked down the aisle. Their vows were full of love and it was a joy it was to witness their promises!

Plan to Enjoy the Quiet Moments

On your wedding day, work with your planner to find special ways to find & cherish the small but striking moments – the last look in the mirror before walking down the aisle, the moments between saying “I Do” & entering the party, & the last dance before the grand exit!


Hand in Hand

After the ceremony, guests moved to the front room for drinks & dances while the ballroom, once set up for a beautiful ceremony, was transformed into the perfect dinner setting. The happy couple shared their first dance with each other, and the groom shared a dance with his mother, as did the bride with her father.

Vibrant Colors & Spirits

Bright reds kept with the Christmas spirit – as well as the NC State Wolfpack spirit. Go Pack! Just look closely at the Father of the Bride’s tie & the bridesmaids cheering. We love when couples show their school spirit!


Happily Ever After

The ballroom was flipped into an elegant dining room, complete with long tables full of delicious food and drink. Best friends of the bride & groom gave toasts, eliciting laughter, smiles, & even more love. With a cake cutting – and some cake eating, of course – these newlyweds were sent off with a grand glow stick exit!
