Wedding picture overload for this photographer coming!

Three days ago, I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Justine and Fern as they entered their marriage. They took their wedding vows at the Hackney Warehouse in Murphy, NC. The Hackney Warehouse is historical, having been built in 1911. It saw many purposes through the years, but wedding venue has got to be the Hackney Warehouse’s calling. I was one happy wedding photographer.

Along with the obvious expert decorating and exceptionally beautiful details this wedding had, there was something else absolutely amazing about it. I have photographed Justine many times over the years, and I am happy to say that I feel as though she is a friend. So, I got to be there cheering on a friend as I photographed her marriage to the love of her life.

It is obvious that Justine and Fern share a fierce love. They were both so excited to get to that ceremony to say “I do.”

If I had a wish it would be for you to see the love between them on the day of the wedding, and since I can’t time travel, I captured it the best way I know how. Enjoy looking through these images of Justine and Fern’s big day!

Because every wedding needs a good ring and dress shot, along with those dreamy detail shots.

Every bride needs a good team of women behind her.

Images of Fern as he waits to marry the love of his life. It’s almost time for their first look!

Fern sees his bride for the first time on their wedding day. First looks are so sweet and intimate.

Pausing here to say that I absolutely love being a wedding photographer! Look at these two.

Here comes the bride… rocking those sneakers.

Justine and Fern had a hand fasting ceremony to symbolize their vows to each other.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.” And he did.

Bridal portaits, because every bride deserves a spotlight, and Justine knows how to own it. Fern is one lucky fellow.

Their little cutie loved the cake.

They definitely know how to have fun. Dancing at the reception.

No question here… Fern found the garter.

As you can tell, those wedding guest were on a mission to have them covered with confetti by the end of their exit.
