Firethorne Country Club Wedding // Ryan+Kacie

What a joy to be a part of Ryan and Kacie's wedding. They couldn't have been more pleasant to capture, and the entire weekend was so much fun!

During the rehearsal dinner, the groomsmen and Jake (the officiant and friend) gave their counsel to Kacie concerning Ryan. They humorously shared stories and wished the best for their marriage. Since Kacie and Ryan live in Texas, I so enjoyed getting to know them both, their families, and their friends during the wedding weekend.

Favorite moments:

  • Hearing the story about the glass of water  during the rehearsal dinner. Ryan can be instantly mollified in a stressful moment, simply by drinking a glass of water. His groomsmen had much to say on this humorous topic.
  • Quietly taking a few photographs as Kacie read a letter from Ryan a few hours before the ceremony. 
  • Watching them jump together on the golf course!

Thank you for trusting me to document every special moment during your wedding weekend. It was a huge privilege and pleasure. I Hope to see you guys again soon!

The morning of the wedding was foggy and misting. While the ladies got ready in the bridal suite, a dedicated team of friends worked to create the wedding of Marianna’s dreams. Black and white with accents of deep green were scattered throughout the venue. White roses and greenery donned every table, arch, and bouquet.

Marianna and Ryan had a vision for their wedding, and seeing it come to life was thrilling! Their taste is classy, timeless, and romantic.

This sweet couple. It really was an honor to shoot this wedding for Chad and Bailey. I could tell from the moment I met them and their families that they have a very special bond. Not often (or ever) have I seen the Maid of Honor be a sibling to the groom, and the Best Man a sibling to the bride!

Mike is a friend and coworker, and it was a pleasure to be a part of his and Ana’s wedding day. The original plan included a different location with an outdoor ceremony. In typical North Carolina fashion, and what seemed like 14 out of 15 weekends of rain, the whole event was switched to indoors.

We took advantage of the brief opportunity to take some outdoor portraits during the light mist. Mike and Ana were easy going and adventurous enough to venture outside and created some fun, memorable, and timeless portraits!

The Gospel was shared, the wedding party wore comfortable (and fun!) Vans shoes, the dance floor was full, they were surrounded by supportive family and friends, and this happy couple was married on this beautiful, sunny day!

It is always an honor to be a part of documenting weddings for couples who love the Lord and desire to honor Him with their relationship and marriage. Jonathan and Bethany were exactly that.

We are excited for you both to experience the goodness of God through marriage as you learn to trust Him and follow Him in new ways!

Pops of red, burgundy, purple, and pink were scattered throughout the florals and beautiful bridesmaid’s dresses, creating a theme that resembled a colorful, spring garden. The gloomy, wet weather forecast shifted that morning to partly cloudy and breezy. What a treat it is to venture outside and explore unsuspecting locations that create beautiful and vibrant portraits! David and Dana’s wedding day was joyous, relaxed, and beautiful at the Hyatt Centric SouthPark.
