Based in beautiful North Carolina, I’m a wedding, family and senior photographer with a heart for real moments, golden light, and the kind of love that makes your chest feel full.
Photography, for me, isn’t just about pretty pictures. Though, don’t worry, we’ll get those too. It’s about creating a space where you can be fully present and comfortable, while I document it all in a way that feels natural and true to you.
Jess and Alex were married on one of those days that truly felt perfect from start to finish. Gorgeous weather, a stunning setting, and so much genuine love surrounding them every step of the way. Their wedding at Carolina Grove in Hillsborough, North Carolina, was the kind of day that feels both fun and elegant all at once.
Carolina Grove is absolutely beautiful. A bright white venue surrounded by lush green trees. Jess and Alex’s color palette of soft pinks, oranges, and blues popped perfectly against the greenery and added such a joyful, summery feel to the day. From the florals to the thoughtful details, everything felt intentional and effortlessly beautiful.
These two truly light up when they’re together. Their first look was incredibly special, full of joy, laughter, and that unmistakable connection they share. Choosing to see each other before the ceremony set the tone for the entire day. It was such a joy to witness and document.
They even rented a classic car from Carolina Classic Car Rentals, which added the perfect timeless touch and made portraits feel extra special. As the sun went down and the reception began, the celebration came alive. The dance floor stayed full, the energy was contagious, and the night felt like one big joyful exhale.
One of my favorite moments of the evening was their private last dance. In the glow of the lights and the beautiful architecture of the venue, it was a quiet, meaningful moment just for the two of them. The perfect way to end an already unforgettable day.
Jess and Alex, thank you for trusting me to capture your wedding. Your day was filled with so much love, beauty, and joy, and I’m so excited to share some of my favorite moments below.
