If you’ve been dreaming of a wedding that blends timeless elegance with heartfelt moments, Kate and Owen’s day is the perfect inspiration. With a ceremony held at St. Andrews Lutheran Church and a stunning reception at Lake Hickory Country Club, their wedding was the kind of celebration that felt beautifully curated, yet entirely relaxed (exactly what a wedding should be).
Kate and Owen exchanged vows inside St. Andrews Lutheran Church, a historic and beautifully preserved sanctuary in Hickory, NC. The setting was traditional and intimate, creating the perfect atmosphere for their formal and romantic ceremony. Kate looked radiant in a classic white gown, and Owen matched the tone in a timeless black suit—both embodying a black tie look with grace.
The entire day carried a calm, loving energy. From start to finish, the mood was full of quiet joy with no rush or stress, just a couple surrounded by the people who love them most.
Kate and Owen’s wedding had a timeless look, with a color palette of blue and light cream, accented by classic black-tie attire. Their style leaned formal and elegant, with just the right amount of softness to feel inviting.
Some of my favorite moments included:
Bride and groom portraits outside the church, full of warmth and connection.
Toasts that had everyone laughing and tearing up at the same time.
A private last dance, where the couple took a quiet moment to soak it all in before their grand exit.
Those kinds of moments (the real, quiet, emotional ones) are the reason I do what I do.
When I say Lake Hickory Country Club is a dream for a wedding reception, I mean it. With warm natural light, a beautifully designed reception space, and an elegant, clean aesthetic, it’s everything a couple could want in a North Carolina country club wedding.
