Charming Country Wedding on the Pond

Photographing Cory and Emily's wedding felt like a full-circle moment for me. Years ago, I volunteered in the youth group where she was attending and blossoming into a young lady, and now I'm photographing a wedding where she is starting her married life. Where does the time go?!

This fall wedding at the Hidden Gem in Hertford, N.C. didn't disappoint: the perfect North Carolina weather, heartwarming decorative touches, the chillest bride, and a hilarious wedding party. 

I witnessed and photographed so many special moments, especially among Emily's sweet family members, whom I highly regard.
