Cameron + Monica:

Bringing an English garden party to NC! From golden hour magic to private vows in the shade to three generations getting ready together. I love knowing when to step back to let genuine emotions happen and when to step in to gently guide or elevate the moment.

Thank you amazing vendor team!

Planning a Raleigh courthouse elopement? Here are three tips to make the day your own. 🤍

1. Get your marriage license ahead of time. Weddings take place at the Wake County Justice Center and check online for ceremony windows, and couples are married in a first come, first served line. Give yourselves extra time so the day feels relaxed. Fridays are the busiest and lined can be long.

2. Plan time for photos before or afterward. Once you’re married, let’s walk around downtown Raleigh and capture the two of you enjoying that just-married feeling. Or let’s grab quiet morning coffee before heading to the courthouse and then be the first in line!

3. Make it personal. Wear something you love, bring your favorite people, and celebrate in a way that feels like you. A courthouse wedding can be simple and still be meaningful.

Save this for your Raleigh courthouse wedding planning. ✨

WE’RE NOMINATED🤍

This moment. Epiphany and her dad just after their emotional and beautiful first look at The Carolina Grove. Both trying to pull themselves back together and clearly neither one succeeding 🥹

These are the photographs I love most. The completely unplanned, blink and you miss it moments that somehow end up telling the whole story.

The moments you can feel. Unposed, raw, truly candid.

I’m so incredibly honored that this image has been nominated for Best Moment in the Junebug Weddings Choice Awards 2026!

If you love this moment as much as I do, I would be SO grateful for your vote. 🤍

Voting is open now, and you can vote DAILY through September 23rd!

Thank you to every couple who lets me into these incredibly personal little moments. Getting to document them will never stop feeling special.

Proof that wedding florals don’t have to stay on the tables.

Layering lush meadow inspired installations throughout the editorial reception transformed a clean white space with so much natural light into something organic, textured, and completely transportive. Every angle felt intentional, yet effortless.

This reception design for the Summer Showcase at The Meadows combined nature and architecture, creating a space that felt immersive, intentional, and endlessly romantic.

said that she loved how the design also felt like a balance between feminine and masculine, so a design that welcomes everyone.

This is the kind of art that photographs beautifully but feels even better in person. I couldn’t stop taking pics y’all and it’s a true 360 design. Still in awe of this day!

Thank you incredible vendors for this perfect showcase!

Found this in my draft. Felt cute. Might delete later.

We’ve been to the Utah Salt Flats for weddings and elopements 5 times and love it at sunrise, sunset, dry, and flooded! We’ve seen it all!!

Getting married on the Salt Flats feels like the moon! It is kinda in the middle of no where so bringing an experienced photographer is definitely crucial.

Thank you for the feature and publication!!

From their first text: “Pasta tonight?” to their wedding weekend in Italy!!

“Under the soft awakening of a Tuscan spring, Sarah and Maciej’s wedding at Castello di Ristonchi unfolded not as a fleeting event, but as a living, breathing story of community. Set within the rugged stone walls of a thousand year old castle turned eco farm, the weekend breathed with the rhythm of shared life. From the smoke of wood fired pizzas under a twilight sky to communal foraging through ancient olive groves.

Photogrpaher by Laura Memory Photography, this celebration was captured with a soulful, hybrid lens, blending the nostalgia of 35mm film with sweeping drone perspectives of the Pelago hills. Every intentional moment, from the garden dinner looking over the rolling Tuscan hills to the final, rhythmic echoes in the historic w**e cave, served as a testament to the Brooklyn couple’s devotion to hospitality, transforming a historic fortress into a temporary home where distant worlds finally met.”
