As I mentioned, our ceremony site was at the Raleigh Rose Garden, a separate venue than our reception. We thought it was simple but gorgeous. Our biggest disappointment was the grounds not being well maintained (like that fountain) despite being told it would. But hey, it is what it is.
Our officiant was one of our close friends and he did an awesome job. His wife was one of my bridesmaids and she was so nervous for him. It was a short ceremony with readings by DG’s two sisters and a solo by a former student of mine. It was great to have intimate touches to our ceremony and it made it really special for us.
My cousin Parker escorted my mom to her seat.
I can only imagine what my mom is saying at this point!
Hands down one of my favorite pictures from the wedding.
I love DG’s awkward arm.
Just stopping some traffic for my photographer.
I really appreciate all of your sweet comments regarding our wedding. We had such a great day and I’m enjoying reliving it through this process!
Next week will be a recap of our reception!




























You and DG make such a beautiful couple!! Absolutely love the picture of you and your dad walking down the aisle – so pretty!! Woo hoo for the reception recap!
Beautiful pictures, lady! I love the picture of you and your dad, so precious!
SO gorgeous! And your husband's awkward arm just made me think of "I don't know what to do with my hands" haha! Too cute! I also absolutely LOVE the different colored dresses for the bridesmaids!
OBSESSED with your dress! You look absolutely stunning! I love all of these pictures, it looks like such an amazing day! Can't wait to see the reception pictures, those are always so fun!

So many amazing pictures!! Your dress is gorgeous! Looks like you had perfect weather and I probably wouldn't have even noticed the not working fountain if you hadn't mentioned it.. I don't think it takes away from the pictures at all!
Such pretty pictures, and you two are a very very good looking couple!
So beautiful!!!!
I'm curious – why the different set of girls? I probably missed that… I do wedding photography & I have never seen that before.
Love these photos!! And your comment about your hubby's awkward arm – too funny! My hubby was really nervous for our ceremony, and in almost all of our pictures he either has some sort of awkward body placement or looks scared! lol
