raleigh wedding photographer | Solas Wedding Reception

As a Raleigh wedding photographer I was very excited to start the wedding photography season. I awaited patiently for Caitlyn's arrival at Historic Mordecai park in Raleigh. The bride showed up about 15 mins late because there was a little problem getting the wedding dress over her head. Having never met the bride and groom I was pleasantly surprised with her beauty and calm elegance about her. The church is for very small intimate weddings, and the reception followed at Solas. Can I say I love the decor of Solas. The red on the 2nd floor really pops in photos.

Photographing this wedding meant alot to me because in one of our discussions I asked Caitylyn was there anything in particular she wanted photographed and she replied that she didnt want to tell me what to do because she loved my work and just wanted me to do my thing.  Of course we discussed the family photos, but she gave me total creative photography freedom to do what I wanted with the bride and groom special pictures. When I first arrive at a wedding vennue I immediately start looking around. The first thing I noticed was the beautiful yellow house and how creatively it was lit with light trickling in through the trees, I immediately thought old vintage. Ahhhhh but when I actually started processing the pictures it was too beautiful to turn vintage, I loved the color of the picture.

The wonderful Kayelily Middleton performed the wedding. Raleigh wedding minister .Kayelily is a non-denominational, interfaith minister who works with you to create a warm personal ceremony.
