Not long ago, I had the opportunity to photograph Eddie and Roberta’s wedding day here in central North Carolina.
I got started at their apartment in Holly Springs taking a few candid photos of Roberta and her bridesmaids getting ready.
While photographing the details, I found out that Roberta actually made her own wedding dress! Not only that, she made two of them just in case one did not fit. How amazing is that?
Once the girls were finished, we headed down to the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Dunn, North Carolina. The traditional Catholic ceremony was beautiful and I actually shed a few tears myself as the service went on.
When the ceremony was over, the family formals and wedding party photos were taken inside the church. Then, the couple and I drove to the J.C. Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh so that we could capture some beautiful portraits of just the two of them.
The JCRA holds a special place in the grooms heart. This was the place where he completed some of his fieldwork studies as a student a few years ago. He never thought that one day he would return to this place with his future bride on their wedding day :)
We spent about 40 mins or so at the Arboretum taking pictures before driving up to Durham N.C. for the couples reception at Maggiano’s restaurant.
The intimate dinner party was held in close company with family and friends. I ended up getting a lot of sweet candid pics of Eddie, Roberta and their guests talking and laughing with one another. (By the way, I highly recommend Maggiano’s, the staff are friendly and the food is incredible!)
From start to finish, this was a beautiful wedding. There was love and laughter and plenty of quiet reflective moments to elegantly tie it all together.
It was truly an honor to be there to document Eddie and Roberta’s first day as husband and wife, here in the heart of North Carolina.
